Many people have said that Adsense was dead, I personally disagreed with this although I have severely cut back on the number of Adsense site I have. Less than 18 months ago I had in excess of 1.5 million pages indexed all with Adsense on them. I was earning almost $5000 per month. Now I have less than 20 sites. This was partly because my income per 1000 clicks for Clickbank is 20 times more than I get for Adsense clicks.

So why I am starting to focus on Adsense again?

Very recently Google have made changes to the clickable parts of the ads. Whereas before the complete ad was clickable now just the URL and the title are able to be clicked. If you have sites where you blend the ads into your content in the hope of accidental clicks you will have found a big drop in your income.

Over time this will mean that more advertisers will find that the content network is once again a viable place to run their ads. I believe that this is what Google's plan is. Fewer accidental clicks will increase the profit margins of advertisers using the content network which will encourage more to advertise.

In the next few months we should see a rise in the value of each click as more advertisers compete for places. Smart pricing will be less of a factor as the quality of pages improve. All in all both publishers and advertisers should benefit.

If you have an Adwords account you'll have noticed that many of the recent changes have been targeted at getting people to advertise on the content network. The more that do the better it will be for quality publishers.

By building sites with quality content targeted at a specific niche with good organic traffic and a good quantity of advertisers you will be in position to take advantage of increased Adsense revenues. Use only .com domain names and try to avoid hyphens where possible.

Take advantage of freely available tools like the google keyword tool and The Wordtracker Gtrend tool. Use domain registrars bulk registration tools to see what great names are still available By combining all 3 tools you will be able to find domain names with traffic right from the start.

I have not intention of telling you that it's going to be easy to make $10 a day from each site. It's not. But by adding unique content to your site and promoting it the right way you will soon start to see reward for your efforts. Try setting a target for the number of visitors or the daily income, i find this helps a lot.

Restrict the number of ads on the page, Google will display the highest value ads first If you are displaying 12 ads on the page the first may pay $1.50 but the last might be paying 10cents. By restricting the ads to 1 set of 4 you will be certain of getting paid the highest possible amount.

If all this sounds like too much work for $10 a day then you are missing one important fact. Good quality AdSense sites have a high resale value. Usually 6 to 10 times the monthly income. After a few months it is possible that you will have a site that you can sell for over $1000 dollars. Consider creating sites with the sole intention of selling them along with ones you intend keeping.

Adsense was never dead but it's about to make a come back. Don't miss out!
