Adsense layout strategy to get more clicks on your ads

The number of clicks you get on your ads greatly depends on the way you layout your ads. Especially AdSense like content related advertisement programs will help you bring more revenues if you place your ads applying more thought.

Most of the people who hosts their blogs on blogspot platform, the prime traffic driver would be Google search and Yahoo Search. Most cases the link referred by a search engine would be pointing to a single blog post or article. And the link referred by most of the site referral or link exchange or blog roll would be to your blog home page. So we have to apply different ads layout strategy for your individual blog post or article page and for your blog home page.

Ads layout for individual blog article page: As the individual blog article page referred by search engines and RSS feed readers will drive users directly to your blog article, is only because of the referred content. In this case it is must that the ads should be adjacent or within the article content.

• You can put your AdSense code soon after the blog article heading and before the starting of the content.
• Also you can put one more AdSense code soon after the content got over.

Preferably, you can use the square ads in above two places. And in order to selectively place your ads in the above two locations, only for individual blog article you have to make use of the and tags around your AdSense code. This will make sure that the ads will be showed only for individual blog article page.

I feel text ads would bring more clicks compared to the image and video ads in this place. See the image below to have a clear picture on ads placement.


Ads layout for home page: You are aware that, link promotions, site referrals and your frequent blog readers would directly come to your home page.

• In order to serve ads for home page its always better to have long horizontal banner ad on top of the blog, this would attract the attention of user when he enters the blog and while closing the page.
• One more point you have to consider is that most of the internet users in this world are right-handed people, so they use to keep their mouse pointer on the right side of the while they are reading the articles. So it is always better to have a large vertical banner on the right side.

This can be selectively achieved by placing your ads between the and tags in the blogger old template. In this place also I feel text ads would bring more clicks compared to the image and video ads.This particular ad placement is evident from the ad layout in the Google search result.


Ads layout common to home page and individual page: Try to keep a large vertical banner on the right side and a long horizontal banner on top. Text ads would be preferred if you have more content oriented articles and image and video ads would be preferred where your blog niche is about offers, vehicles, gifts, real estates, FMCG and electronic goods.

AdSense Click Fraud in India - How The Whole System Works?

A recent report on Click Fraud suggests that the maximum number of invalid clicks on Pay Per Click ads originate from India. And this is not the first time - its widely believed there there exists a large “work from home” crowd in India who want to generate “quick cash” by clicking Google AdSense ads.

During a recent trip to Google Hyderabad for BarCamp, I met someone who explained me the whole modus operandi of these secret ad clickers.

Pick any issue of Deccan Chronicle newspaper (the English Daily of Hyderabad) and open the Classifieds section - you will see dozens of ads that promise you regular Google AdSense income while working from home. (see this newspaper clipping on the right).

You basically create a website and then write a few articles to get accepted into the official Google AdSense program. Once you become an AdSense publisher, you join any of these “bogus” AdSense network and are introduced to other members who are in the same boat as you.

Now Google would quickly ban your AdSense account if you click Ads on your own website so what these networks do is ask members to click on Ads appearing on websites of other members. So it like a reciprocal behavior - you click my ads and I will click yours.

Do members of such local AdSense networks make money? I have doubts. They may make a few dollars before Google discovers the click fraud activity, bans the account and returns the accumulated earnings to advertisers.

But in any case, the fraudulent clicks have been generated and added to the global “Click Fraud Index”. No wonder, India tops the chart.

How to increase your AdSense Revenue by 200%

I just came across this thread in Digital Point Forum that explains on how to increase your AdSense Revenue by 200% by filtering Made-For-AdSense (MFA) sites.
