Many years ago, when I put the first AdSense code on my home page, there were no such thing as a Google AdSense tutorial. It certainly would have made my life easier, if there had been, and I could have avoided wasting months of almost no income. Better late than never, though, so here are some basic questions and answers that will teach you how to make money with AdSense.
Q: Does it matter, how I form the URI?
A: The URI is the address to your website, and yes, it matters a lot, how you form it! On my own site, I experienced a chance in going from less than a dollar per month to more than $10 per day, just by changing my URI into something better. Originally, I had an URI that looked like this: homepage.com/tip/256, and I changed it into showing the name of the article instead.
Q: I have the same title on all pages - is that okay?
A: No, it's not okay, if you want to make money with your site. Your title - as well as your headline - should reflect the keywords, you use in that particular article.
Be ware that your title doesn't show directly on your page. You'll only see it in the title bar of your browser.
Q: What colour should I choose for the borders around the advert? Black?
A: That depends entirely on the background colour, you've chosen for your site. You should choose the exact same colour for your borders - which would make them 'invisible', and that's the purpose.
The goal is to blend your adverts in with the text, and you do that among other things by avoiding borders.
Q: Should I always choose a white background for the ads?
A: Again, this depends on what colour, you have behind the ad. Pick the same colour for the AdSense unit as you have chosen for background.
Q: How about colours for text, title, and URL?
A: I recommend that you match the colour of your headlines with the colours of the titles in your ads. As for the URL's, you can either choose blue or the same colour as your headlines.
Q: Which size is the best to choose for the ad units?
A: Let's start with the worst. Don't ever choose the 468 x 60 banner sized ad, unless you have a very good reason to do so. I've found that the bigger the better. Go with the large rectangle or the broadest leader board.
Q: And where should I place the ads?
A: Take a look at your home page or blog. Where do you think people look, when they visit it? This is where you should place your ads. Always 'above the fold', which means the part of the site, people can see immediately in their browser, and always where they would naturally look, i.e. inside the text, in the menu, etc.
