These ads aren't just any ads that Google chooses, but ads that are relevant to the site owner's content pages. This has allured many users because it's free and every click means money earned.

However, many have been questioning Google Adsense's effectivity. Is it an assurance that when a user puts ads in his website, it means that he opens the door to possible unquantifiable richness? The answer is it could be, only if it Adsense is used intelligently. This can be a possible income generator from your website, an income that can range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars, or to the luckiest, thousand dollars a month.

A good example is that if a site is about films and music reviews, Google is likely to dish up ads for video rentals and mp3 stores.

So how to use Adsense at its best? Just check out the following:

Make the Adsense ads appear as a part of the web page. In short, they shouldn't look like an ad at all. The truth is, people don't like advertising that much.

People are more responsive to texts than images making text ads a better choice than image ads. With this, it appears as if it is a part of the online document

 

Don't use borders on Adsense ads and make them having the same color with the website's background.

Don't distract visitors by putting too many advertisements in one web page.

Place the ads in the middle, above the fold location. The idea is to think about what the user is looking at. Since most of the content is in the middle of most pages, the ads that are in the middle, near the content and towards the top of the page is the location that gets most of the attention.

Create more than one website and put ads on them as well.

Use site maps.
