Boring Adsense Blogs

The best Adsense tips to keep in mind, especially when starting out as an Adsense newbie, are the following:

Adsense blogs Tip 1. Keep it simple, keep it boring. The very basic Blogspot templates are all it takes to set-up an Adsense blog properly.

Why? For a couple reasons...

First of all, we don't want to attract readers - we want to attract clickers via the search engines. When the template is basic and ugly, the Adsense ads will stand out more without us literally mentioning them in our blog posts. Our blog posts are for keywords so the bot knows what our blogs are about.

Second, we want to make the Google bot's job easier by being able to scan our content in a snap. This gets us ranked for keywords sooner and better.


Adsense blogs Tip 2. Don't put Adsense on blogs that have a loyal readership and/or attractive templates or Wordpress layouts. These readers won't click on your ads, and when the blue moon comes out and someone finally does, you will get Smart Priced. More on smart pricing in a future post.
