Struggling With Adsense. How to Fix the Problems.

I am going to take just a few minutes of your time to go over some of the misconceptions about Adsense. Whilst most people that are confused about or misunderstand Adsense are new to the internet, a large number of old hands dismiss it as not worth the effort. The type of person who is dissing Adsense usually is the type looking for the quickest shortcut, and is generally lazy.
Adsense is so simple, so easy to implement and so easy to maintain that it is a little unbelievable. If you follow a few basic guidelines you will build the strongest website out there.
1. Content.
Always make sure your content is factual, accurate, detailed and easily readable. By having the correct type of content you will build up, over time, a large base of loyal followers to your website. If you have a site dealing with, say, I-pods and then you start to fluff up your pages with waffle your regulars will leave.
2. Backlinks.
Backlinks. These are perhaps the most important item of them all. The quality of your back links will determine your page rank. If you link to sites that are unrelated to your content, beware. If you link to sites with questionable tactics, beware. You must have quality sites linking to your site. Your own pages must link to each other correctly. Your links must relate. You cannot fool the search engines with silly or dangerous tactic here. Please remember that Adsense is a long term income earner, do not rock the boat.
3. Realistic.
Take it slowly, or to be more accurate, realistic. If, overnight your site magically acquires 500 pages it is likely to set off the alarm bells at the robot searching thingy headquarters. Try not to get noticed in a bad way. Rather submit new pages to your site and to the article places etc at a constant rate. Do not frighten the system.
4. Clutter.
If you want to get high income earnings out of your Adsense sites, never clutter the sites up with stupid things. If you open your website up and it lights up like a pinball machine, go immediately to a mirror and shout loudly at the person you see there. You would be looking at a complete fool. There are many ways that will help to get the Adsense ads noticed on your page, and if you fiddle and tinker with it over time you will find that you can maximize you earnings. Warning - there are rules that you must adhere to. Go to the terms page on Google and read their rule a few times. Then go back and do it again. And again in a week’s time. I cannot stress how important it is to stick to the rules.
5. Connected.
I know that this might seem a little obvious, but you will be surprised at the number of people who are unable to correctly place the Adsense code onto their website properly. It would help if you are correctly hooked up.
Adsense is perhaps the most simple and easy way to build a business on the internet. There will probably never be deadlines and pressure. However there are guidelines that must be followed. Finally the most important fact is that it does involve constant and regular hard work.
If you do not want to work hard for the next 2 years then stop doing this and concentrate on PPC. You might get to you rainbow end quicker.
Good luck.
