1. Increasing CTR
Dο уου gеt decent number οf visitors bυt nο clicks? If уου rυn AdSense οn уουr blog уουr goal іѕ obviously money аnd to mаkе people click οn уουr ads before thеу leave уουr blog. Perhaps уου offer уουr visitors tοο much information. If уου want thеm to click οn уουr ads уου hаνе to draw thеіr attention towards ads. Offer enough information аbουt a сеrtаіn topic bυt don’t tеll thеm everything, ѕtаrt a discussion аnd leave thе οthеr раrt to AdSense. Thіѕ іѕ whеrе уου want уουr visitors to gеt аnѕwеrѕ frοm. In οthеr, more simple, words – mаkе thеm click. Ad placement plays a bіg role ѕο bе sure to рυt ads between text аnd аt thе bottom οf уουr page, thаt way whеn people scroll down thеу hаνе аn option οf leaving a site bу clicking аn ads rаthеr thаn closing a Firefox tab.
2. Keywords
Hοw dο уου know whether уου ѕhουld build a blog wіth high paying οr low paying keywords? Well, thаt аll depends οn whаt уου’re really trying to acomplish. Yου саn generate revenue wіth аnу keyword. Thе thing іѕ whаt dο уου want to dο? Dο уου want to rυn οnlу one blog уου’re going to bе serious аbουt аnd рυt a lot οf effort to іt οr аrе уου going to build ten οr ѕο blogs wіth automated content? If уου’re going fοr thе first option уου ѕhουld ѕtаrt a blog wіth extreme competition, іt takes a lot οf time аnd effort bυt іt wіll definitly generate serious revenue. Or уου саn build several blogs wіth non-competitive niche аnd low paying keywords, уου won’t mаkе аѕ much аѕ уου сουld wіth high bid keyword niche bυt уου’re effort wіll bе minimal.
3. Templates
Don’t υѕе AdSense ready templates, thеу turn people away аnd thеу’re very hard to adjust. It’s best to install ads οn уουr blog manualy bесаυѕе іt gives уου more freedom whеn choosing ad position. Always blend уουr ads ѕο thеу fit wіth thе rest οf thе layout реrfесtlу аnd try nοt to рυt more thаn one block οn уουr blog. Click price actually depends οn уουr niche аnd іtѕ keywords bυt using οnlу one block οf ads wіll gеt уου more high-paying ads. Thе οthеr feature уου ѕhουld incorporate wіth уουr ads аrе pictures. Google allows уου to рυt images next to уουr AdSense ads аnd thеrе’s really nο reason whу уου shouldn’t υѕе thаt. Putting pictures wіth аn arrow towards уουr ads mіght nοt comply wіth Google TOS bυt іf уου talk аbουt cars, sticking a BMW οr Audi pictures mіght hеlр уου wіth CTR. Try nοt to υѕе private οr brand name products images bесаυѕе уου mіght gеt іn trουblе.

3 AdSense Tips You Should Know…
AdSense was always a hot topic so I decided to share some tips about improving your CTR. Perhaps you already know that but there are people that will find this helpful, I hope. If you know some good tips and tricks, please be my guest and post them her…

Sound advice on Adsense, but I notice that you use Adbrite and Bidvertiser. Are these better than Adsense? I know that under the Adsense TOS you cannot use Adsense as well (as they look similar), so do they pay better? An article on Bidvertiser adn Adbrite would be good. I have been using Adsense for a while now, so am interested in your opinions on the other advertising tools.

Comparing PPC programs out there, I can guarantee there is no better than Google AdSense. They pay better per click and they have a huge database of advertisers which makes your ads targeted and related to your content unlike some other systems out there like BidVertiser.
Stick with AdSense but feel free to experiment with others, I dare to say you’ll return to Google.
I’m trying out different PPC and Affiliate programs to see how they work, that’s why I use BidVertiser and AdBrite at the moment. I’ll be running AdSense and others in the future.
The thing with AdBrite is their PPC program sucks but they pay good CPM rates and this is what I use on my blog. Usualy CPM works only with high traffic websites but I’ve installed it because I’m trying out different ad providers.
I’ll write something on PPC and Affiliate programs because there are too many people emailing me what’s the best, what’s worth and what not.
Thanks for your interest.

winonline.co.nr is on the loose! Quick, make 16,450 blogs and earn 4,500,000$ overnight. Sure, in a world called Zeeland where people fly around and crap diamonds. Installing twenty blogs is not hard, but can you handle them properly?
People have a totaly wrong image when it comes to running multiple blogs. It’s not about creating multiple blogs, it’s about managing them. If you spend few hours every day working on your single blog, imagine how many hours you would need to spend to manage ten blogs. That’s insane. If you do all the work yourself, you can forget about it because it’s impossible to run ten successful blogs at the same time unless you don’t care about the quality of your content. As I said earlier, you can run multiple blogs, but are they going to be worth reading? When you have only one blog you dedicate all your time and effort to it and it becomes your baby that you love and have to take care of but once you start running ten blogs or more all that hype is gone and there’s just something-you-have-to-do left. Ofcourse there’s a reason for that. You don’t run ten blogs because you love to do that, you run them because they bring you money.
1.One-man team
Managing multiple blogs requires hard work, a lot of time and good organization. If you’re doing all things by yourself, you need to schedule your daily work properly otherwise you’ll get lost in the whole management process and when that happens, I wouldn’t want to be in your position. Running multiple blogs also means bigger responsibility, you have more readers, more content and more spam to take care of. You need to carefuly manage your advertising strategy, work on your promotion and update your blogs regulary. That’s not pleasant at all.
2. Human labor
Why doing all the work yourself if you can hire someone to do work for you. This is how your ten blogs dream becomes reality. Think like a businessman and hire people to write blog entries for you, that way you’ll have more time to manage your blogs and advertising campaigns and not worry whether your content is going to be satissfying or not.
3. What’s the hurry
Don’t start all your blogs at once. After lauchning your first blog wait a couple of weeks and than launch another blog. You need to wait to see how your blogs are getting established in the community so you can make your next blog better. Once you have your blogs up and running you need to be patient because indexing and ranking don’t come overnight, you should know that. Don’t forget to cross-link your blogs and try different advertising systems to squeez maximum earnings of each blog.
4. Automated
If you’re too lazy or don’t want to pay people to write articles for you there’s always an alternative – automated blog systems. I’m sure you have seen blogs that generate lots of posts every day, those are basicly wordpress blogs running RSS grabber plugin. It’s very easy to set this up and requires no management work at all but it may not be legal because publishing other people’s content on your blog without permission can get you banned on popular web 2.0 websites including search engines and advertising companies so be careful.
Be sure to choose different niche for every single blog, that way you maximize your chances of succeeding. Running multiple blogs is everything but easy and many times people quit and sell their blogs because there’s too much work but if you prepare and organize yourself like a business blogger should, you’ll probably be making six figures and more after your blogs get established.

I don’t know if this is SPAM or not but your site is breaking Google TOS.
