Get The Biggest Bang from Your Site Advertising
If you have a content site and want to monetize it with ads, then that is a solid plan as long as you understand it may take some time to make your site profitable. Follow these guidelines to increase your profit potential using ads on your website.
Starting from the ground up, you will need to include regular updates with the best content you can provide in your weekly schedule. It only makes sense that people will stop returning to your site once they realize you are no longer updating it. This hopefully seems very common sense-like, but not everybody realizes how important it is to keep people coming back.
Besides, when you add new content every week to your site, you can get people in the habit of returning more often. Your ability to get better results from testing different ad offers will naturally increase, as well.
Backlinking is the most important aspect for great search engine position, and it is what you can do to get highly targeted traffic. There are many ways to build backlinks to your site, one which is the easiest is to post comments on blogs within your niche. Of course you need to locate the best blogs in order to do this, or if you have the money you can get into a blog network for backlinking purposes. Probably not all of your comments will be approved, but you can help that along by saying something intelligent and appropriate. We very highly recommend you do not wait for businesses to backlink to you on their own unless you have a very hugely popular authority site. Once you have a good flow of traffic coming in, you’ll automatically see your ad revenues grow.
Ad placement on your website or blog is of critical importance for conversions. If you have ever looked at heat trace maps, the left top side plus the top area less than about 400 pixels is prime real estate. You should test by placing ads in those two places and also on the top right but do test. Always remember to test everything, and do not take anything as the absolute truth. As you can guess, increasing the performance of your ads is a process, but it is something that will work if you take action.
