AdSense - Ready to Rock

Right, so as you can see (on the right hand side of the page) I have managed to setup some AdSense ads. It's was pretty easy as I already had an AdSense account which I use for another business of mine but If you dont already have an AdSense account, it appears that creating one, in particular creating one for a Blogger blog is dead easy.

Blogger belongs to Google so does AdSense so I guess the ease of integration between the two is to be expected. When I first started the Cash Lab blog I was using WordPress.com which I later discovered do not support using AdSense on their hosted blogs. Bit stupid if you ask me. I mean, I like most Bloggers, enjoy writing and sharing with our readers about things we know alot about, but we also need to pay the bills.

Here are a few AdSense tips for you:
  • If you want Adsense on your hosted blog, use Blogger
  • Dont ever click on your own AdSense ads, firstly it's unethical and secondly Google is not stupid, they see coruption coming a mile away and will close down your AdSense account in a flash
  • Try make the AdSesnse ads blend in with your sites design, if the ads look less like ads and more like part of your sites content, your vistors are more likely to click on them.

As the AdSense experiment continues I will keep posting more tips.
