Tips on Placing Your Ads

There are many things you should know about Adsense. The key to success is to put the ads into the nicely clickable spots and deliver as much targeted traffic to these pages as possible.

Display your ad units where repeat users will notice them.

Because forum regulars tend to skip the header and go straight to the meat of the thread, placing your ad unit above or below the first post can be more effective than ads next to the logo.

Place a leaderboard immediately after the last post. This provides users who make it to the end of a thread with a 'next step' when the content ends. Try to avoid placing it after the footer, though, as your readers will likely move to the next thread without seeing the ad.

Using multiple ad units, you can use a variety of formats to fill ad space throughout your site. Placing a skyscraper above the fold on the left side of your forum seems to produce slightly better performance than other positioning. However, when using multiple ad units throughout the page our horizontal bias still favors the leaderboard.

Use horizontal link units, which are small enough to fit near the top of your forum just below the header. For the regular forum visitor, link units offer a wider range of relevant topics to browse.

When placing ads on your website you will first need access to the HTML or back-end of the site to edit the layout. If your using a blog layout or some other open source application then you need to find a place where your allowed to edit the script or code. Once you in this area you will then want to copy and paste your affiliate ad scripts and linking codes.

Don't just place your ads anywhere, make them look like content. If the ads look like information and not ads then people visiting your website will be more likely to click on the ads or visit the affiliate link which will then earn you a commission.

There are other types of adverts beside the context-sensitve ads. "AdSense for Search" provides you with a Google search box that you can place on your site. When your visitors search through that box, and click an advertisement, it will be as though they had clicked an ad on your site. "Referrals" provide you with ads for specific products.

A good Tip you should know, is that if you place these ads in a good spot. People will naturally click on them. When people surf the web, they are usually looking for something. The trick on placing ads is to strategically put them in a spot where it will catch someone attention.

Another Tip is Web Traffic. You want as many people as possible to view your website or blog. When people do a Google search. You want your website to pop up. The more , the better. You want as much web traffic as possible.
