One of the most wonderful opportunities for bloggers and webmasters has got to be Googles Adsense program. Recently I discovered yet another easy technique for boosting traffic on one of my websites where I use Googles Adsense program to produce revenue. More traffic of course means more clicks!
If you want to improve on your results, tracking is vital. Without tracking, its like youre walking in the dark. Things are harder to find and most likely your going to trip and fall. Turning on the lights is a simple answer to your problem. The same is true for figuring out how to improve your Google Adsense revenue.
Tracking your results will reveal important data that will help to pin point the reason why one web site, or even a particular web page is getting better results.
When one particular site started to receive the majority of clicks I carefully analyzed the data to find out why.
Even if several of your web site pages rank high in the search engine results, that does not guarantee your link will be clicked on. The following three elements are what I found to be helping my site draw more attention that other results:
#1. The keyword phrase they were searching for was highlighted in the results as the link.
#2. The description under the keyword offered a solution to their problem.
#3. My domain name related to their search term needs.
Let me give you an example:
Lets say youre looking for a flea remedy for your cat. In the search box you type in the keyword phrase, Flea remedy for cats. As you are searching through the results this is what an irresistibly clickable result link might it look like:
#1. Flea Remedy (this is the linked result)
#2. This flea remedy was wonderful. It rid my cat of fleas without harmful chemicals. (This is the description under the highlighted link result)
#3. wonderfulcatremedies.com/catflea-remedy.htm (This is the domain name listed under the description, this is not an actual website link)
Notice the keyword is part of the clickable link result. Next you see the description. If you were looking for a flea remedy, wouldnt you want to click on that link Even the domain name is appealing because it not only relates to your flea problem it promises the solution.
My top producing Adsense site is receiving good traffic due to those three elements. The paragraph the search engine is picking up is the first paragraph under my Google Adsense ads.
The particular description that was really drawing people in was actually a testimonial of the product that I was offering on several of the pages receiving a high traffic volume.
The search engines will not always include the description that youd like them to. However, knowing that the first paragraph and the headings are mainly what I see showing up in the search engines, and those that have an irresistible heading or paragraph are receiving more traffic, you better believe Ill be making sure these two things are teaked on each and every page of my sites.
I am currently receiving about a 13.2% click-through rate and averaging .61 cents per click. Now if I can bring my daily traffic up to 1000 page views per day Id be earning about $70.00 per day. Im not there yet, but at least Im seeing progress through tracking Ive been able to raise my click-through rate from 6.7% back when I first started in August, to 13% in Jan. 2006.
So, the bottom line is this. Track your results or your results wont be worth tracking!

Its 3:00AM and instead of sleeping, Im trying tofigure out how to get listed near the top of the searchengines. Am I normal
Am I normal I pondered that question this morningwhile I quickly checked email one last time beforeshuffling the kids in the car and off to school.
Am I normal It crossed my mind again while racing backtoward my home office as I watched a group of momshead to the bagel shop for coffee and a chat.
Am I normal This afternoon, as my neighbors talkedintensely about the latest episode of ER, my mind keptwandering back to my web site, and I wondered if thatwas normal.
My mother tells me I should quit thinking about businessso much and just enjoy my children, which I do, but Istill wonder, am I normal
Am I normal My friends look at me as if theyve seenan alien when I tell them that Im never going back tomy corporate marketing career. Im building an Internetempire from my home, would they like one too
Now, dont get me wrong. I love life and live it to thefullest, with lots of playtime. But, ambition and thechallenge of building the perfect beast push merelentlessly sometimes. I figure you can relate if youare reading this article. You are looking to createsomething bigger than yourself, too!
But, its a crazy world we live in. A world wherepeople have learned to stifle their dreams, theirdesires, their creativity. We are taught to settlefor what we are dealt in life. All too often, when wetry to move beyond that, those closest to us try tohold us back, save us from ourselves.
Consider yourself lucky for what you have.
Its a good job and the benefits are great.
The average American family has thousands of dollarsin credit card debt.
Its too risky.
I dont know how you feel, but I want to LIVE my dreams,have my hearts desires and allow my creativity toblossom. I want to be my own boss, work in my pjs ifI choose, take a four hour lunch to go shopping andfire myself when Im not measuring up. (Of course, Imeligible for rehire tomorrow!)
Normal SHOULD be waking up when your body is rested,not when the alarm clock rings. Normal SHOULD betaking a vacation when it fits your familys schedule,not when your seniority allows. It SHOULD be having aparent at home when a child comes home from school.
To me, normal ISNT sitting in rush hour traffic twicea day. It ISNT working fifty weeks in exchange fortwo weeks off a year, or five days on for two days offa week. It ISNT wearing my name and picture attachedto my clothing.
Everyone must determine their own definition of whatnormal is and isnt. For those of us who havedecided to step outside the box, take control of ourlives and build our own business, normal is anythingBUT normal!
Life is full of risks, its true. But, everythinggreat that has EVER happened has done so with somedegree of risk. I dont want to get to the end andWISH I had taken just a few risks.
Im urging you to take some risks with me! Step up tothe plate! Decide what it is you want out of your lifeand your business and GO FOR IT! FORGET ABOUT NORMAL!
Create your own normal!
We are at the very beginning of the new millennium!
The Internet is overflowing with possibilities, as itbreaks all growth records ever set by anything, and itis just not NORMAL!
As I lay in bed, building my empire (business) on mylaptop, I realize just how much I love myother-than-normal life. I wouldnt trade it foranything!
The clock says 10:07 PM.
Ahhh, lunch break!
