FAQ

Some questions that are likely to arise:

I can't find the codes, what should I do?
When searching for a specific code, make sure that you have no spaces before/after it. These are the default codes of Blogger and should be found in all the templates unless they have been modified by the template designer.

Why should I convert my AdSense code?
The Blogger's Template reads it as text and not as code so it is better to avoid any errors when trying to save it.

The ads are not displaying properly, why is that?
The ads could be affected by the styles (CSS) selectors (divs) containing them and some templates could be wrong designed, then you should consider modifying these styles, look for another relevant place or in extreme cases, change the template.

Can I put the all 10 codes on my blog?
No, you should choose just one of the locations where you want to put the ads considering that AdSense have some limits on the number of ads that could be displayed. Try to make a balance with your content.

Why there should be only 3 ads displayed on the main page?
This is due to the limit set by AdSense. Combine the type of ads (text, rich media ads and link units) if you want to show more ads.

 

Hopefully, this guide will be useful to those of you who need to display AdSense ads on your blog.

Chitika vs Google AdSense – A Review

Google AdSense is undoubtedly the best blog monetization PPC network which has been unbeatable in world of online advertising. Now a days, it is hard to get Google AdSense and for that reason, blog and website owners look for any good AdSense alternative. Chitika is one of AdSense alternatives which is loved by several publishers due to easy account approval at the network. At Chitika, you don’t face any big trouble in getting approval, but Chitika can’t be the true AdSense alternative and it is a reality that an AdSense competitor hasn’t born yet in the world of PPC advertising.

I tried Chitika for one of my blogs last year but after a month, I removed their ads. In this review, I will compare the two networks, Chitika and AdSense, and will look over the similarities and differences among the two. I am not going to write a lengthy and boring review, instead I am comparing the two networks in below table where I have compiled a list of most important features for which a publisher looks at the network he is going to join.

Chitika vs AdSense

Feature	Chitika	AdSense
CPC	Below Average : +/- $0.3 for Regular and +/-$3 for Premium Publishers	Best (Up to $100 per click)
RPM, CPM, eCPM	Below Average	Best
Ad Design	Horrible (Ads look spammy)	Attractive
Customer Support	Good	Poor
Fill Rate	Low	100%
Technology	Basic	Advanced
Ad Choices	Limited	Diverse
Ad Customization	Limited	Extensive
Account Approval	Easy	Hard
Advertiser Care	Average	Great
Publisher Care	Good	Average
Publishers Feel	Okay	Happy
Long Term Retain	Easy	Hard
Publisher Activity Moderation	Poor	Strict

So these were the most important features for which I look before joining any PPC network and above was what me and my friends have experienced with Chitika to date. Have you also experienced Chitika? If yes, then don’t forget to share your experience.

Google AdSense vs Affiliate Marketing – My Experience

I am with Google AdSense from the early days of my blogging journey and AdSense is generating a steady and solid income for me. Over past few months, I tried to practice affiliate marketing too and got good results despite of the poor efforts which I put in IM. Today I decided to compare the two popular online content monetization ways by thinking that this comparison might help you in understand which one is better for you.
Although I am sharing my experience with you, but at the end, you need to analyze yourself, your website or blog traffic and several other things to decide which one is easier for you to get success with. Some people find Internet Marketing more profitable than AdSense and for several, AdSense performs well. Below is what I am experiencing with Google AdSense and affiliate marketing here at my blog.

Google AdSense or Affiliate Marketing

My Journey With Google AdSense: As I said earlier that I am with Google AdSense from the earliest days of my blogging career. When I jumped into the blogging field, I was unaware about affiliate marketing and Google AdSense was the only monetization source I was knowing a little bit about. When I got AdSense for the first time, my blog traffic was not good, still I never had any issues with the earnings.
The earnings with AdSense are satisfying and I never thought about using any other PPC network or any monetization method for several months. A few months back, I tried MadAdsMedia but it sucked. Meantime, I decided to try HostGator and Payoneer affiliate programs and below is what I experienced.
Affiliate Marketing and My Blog: Both HostGator and Payoneer, which I tried, are reputable brands in their industry and I never faced any issue in promoting these services. I just wrote honest reviews about both of the two networks as I was using both HostGator and Payoneer’s services. The results were brilliant and I succeeded in bringing several customers into these networks.
The aggregate earnings with affiliate programs of HostGator and Payoneer were bigger than that of Google AdSense. HostGator paid me decent commissions for bringing new customers to it. Payoneer also sent me several attractive commissions for the verified and approved referrals I sent to it. It compelled me to think that if I work harder in affiliate marketing, my blog traffic’s earning potential is greater than that of Google AdSense.

Payoneer Rewards Me with $25 for Each Qualified Referral

But as I am not a full time blogger, so I can’t work harder in affiliate marketing. In future, I might turn completely towards blogging. Still my first goal is to become a premium publisher at Google AdSense and I might not practice affiliate marketing, because Google AdSense is generating a decent income for me with minimum efforts .
For You, AdSense or Affiliate Marketing? It depends on your skills, your blog traffic and the time and efforts you put in your online business either which one earns good for you, Google AdSense or affiliate marketing. If you have strong skills in motivating people towards your ideas, then affiliate marketing is a good option for you.
In addition, your blog traffic also matters. With a very small traffic, you may not be able to earn good with AdSense but in such a situation, affiliate marketing may work better for you. A few sales of affiliate products will earn you decent commissions.
To elaborate this further, let’s take an example. Say you have a website where 100 people visit daily. For a single ad, the impressions will be 100. With a CPC of around $0.5 and a CTR of 5%, one AdSense ad will earn you $2.5 and 3 AdSense ads will earn you $7.5.
Now lets perform a calculation for an affiliate product where say the commission is $20 per sale, but it is bigger at several affiliate programs. Now if only 5 people out of 100 purchase the product, you will earn $100 . Isn’t it interesting? Yes affiliate marketing is good for websites and blogs where traffic is too small.

My Earnings with HostGator Affiliate, Payoneer Affiliate and AdSense Over Past 6 Months

Conclusion: Internet Marketing has greater potential than Google AdSense in generating money and it can earn you bigger than Google AdSense, but Google AdSense is the easiest to work with. You just need to paste some lines of a code on your blog and forget about dealing with customers, advertisers and other frustrating things. Google AdSense will serve relevant sponsored ads automatically.
With affiliate marketing, you need to work harder to make sales. If you fail to make any sales, you will not earn even a penny, but with Google AdSense, it isn’t necessary either the person going through your ads makes a purchase or not. Moreover, with affiliate marketing, you need to be cautious about products before promoting them as a crap product may ruin your audience’s trust over you.
So this was a brief comparison of the two popular website and blog monetization sources, the AdSense and Internet Marketing. Don’t worry, if you are still confused on which one to be chosen. You can use both on your website or blog, and work harder with the one you are most interested in. It will boost your online content’s revenue.

How to Increase AdSense Earnings by Improving CTR and CPC

If your blog is well optimized for AdSense it can earn you good, and if not, then you will face the most frustrating issue of worst earnings at AdSense despite of having decent traffic. I have experienced this in early days when I was new with AdSense. After reading several articles, by following AdSense recommendations and by doing experiments, I have now optimized AdSense for my blog where its performance is good. I don’t say that I have super-optimized it, but at least have improved CTR and CPC greatly which were once the worst for me. If your AdSense ads are receiving very few clicks or if the CPC is tool low there, I have come up with some tips which will surely help you in improving your AdSense earnings by making adjustments to ads on your blog.

Improving AdSense Earnings

CTR: CTR is a major factor which decides how much your blog earns. In addition to its direct impact on earnings, it has some indirect influences also which are mostly not understood by publishers. If the placement of ads on your blog isn’t good, then they will receive very few clicks and as a result, your earnings will stay low.
To improve your ads CTR, I would recommend you the below ad placement as I have found it as working best for me and will surely work for you too.
A 336×280 Image/Text Below Post Title: The 336×280 ad unit is AdSense recommended which earns good for you. I place one 336×280 ad unit at top of the post content and wrap it with text by one side. If you are on WordPress, use Quick AdSense plugin for inserting ads or if you are on Blogger, make a div in CSS and float it either towards right or left to place it perfectly in post content. This is the first position which will perform good in increasing CTR of your AdSense ads.
A 300×250 below post: It is the second position which performs well for me. Place a 300×250 ad unit just below post content (above comments section). When your visitors finish reading your post, the ad may attract their attention.
A Horizontal Banner at Bottom: Bottom section of blogs and websites is the exit point for visitors and placing an ad here greatly improves AdSense CTR. When your visitors finish reading your post, they will move down to comments section. And after reading or making any comments, most likely they will be leaving your blog and the bottom ad if present mostly grabs their attention as an exit point. I have experienced it and it works great for me.
So these were the three ad positions where I have got the best results. Although you may love to place ads on sidebar, in header section or anywhere else, but all these positions never deliver me with good results, so I am not going to recommend you any of such placements.
Now lets have a look on how to improve CPC for ads.
Use High Paying Keywords in Content: Google’s Keyword Planner Tool helps you in finding keywords and you can do a research there to find which keywords are paying the most. First think about a topic for your next post and then go to Keyword Planner. There, do a research about your chosen topic and then sort the keywords on suggested bid. In such a way, you can find high CPC keywords. Once you compile a list of some high paying relevant keywords, use these keywords wisely in your content. It will show up high paying ads which will greatly boost your AdSense CPC.

Optimize CTR: I have mentioned earlier that CTR indirectly impacts on earnings. When your ads receive too many impressions but very few clicks, then AdSense imposes smart pricing over your account and CPC greatly falls down. So to retain a good CPC, improve CTR by placing ads perfectly like I have recommended above.
Geographic Location: The most important factor in defining AdSense CPC is the geographical location of your visitor from where the click was originated. I haven’t mentioned it earlier as you may be running a localized blog so you may be targeting local visitors only. If you are running an international blog or website, try to bring visitors from western countries by improving SERP rankings of your content globally. It will deliver great results.
Avoid Using Link Ads: Link ads receive too many impressions but CPC with these type of ads is the worst. They will not earn you good but yes, they can invite Google to smart price your account. So I would recommend you not to use any link ad units.
Write Lengthier Posts: The more text content is there in your posts, the more being promoted keywords appear in your text and AdSense then shows relevant ads which earn you good. If your posts are short, then Google may fail to understand about what you have written. In such a situation, it will push in random ads which will decrease both CTR and CPC. So to achieve good CTR and CPC, you should write lengthier (keyword rich) posts.
Niche: If you haven’t started your blog yet, then you should choose niche for it wisely. Some niches pay very high. But if you have already started your blog, then you might not need to consider it.
So these were some recommendations from my side to help you in improving your AdSense revenue up to the maximum possible level. I hope you will find these tips working. Don’t forget to tell us about any additional working tip if you have found as working
