Remember:
Good content good advertising = traffic
Choose
a niche youre passionate about
Post/write
an article/add content every day
Make
your content unique and useful
Be
timely: break news, comment on new information, become a valuable source
of interesting new stuff.
Be
yourself. If youre funny, be funny; if youre not, dont try to be. Be
confident that your personality will draw like-minded readers.
If you
cant think of anything interesting to post about, find something
interesting to post about.
If you
cant find anything interesting to post about, keep looking.
You
just read something interesting that has nothing to do with your sites
theme. Find a way to make it relevant. Use it as an example or integrate
it into a story. Use it.

Remember:
Traffic Adsense = Money - So dont get kicked out
Read
the Adsense TOS and dont break it
While
youre at it, read all the Adsense guides Google provides
Do NOT
encourage readers to click Adsense ads
If
youre placing a picture specifically to subtly draw attention to Adsense
Ads, make sure the ads are clearly distinguished from the image (borders
or a line between the two)
If
youre unsure if your ads comply with the Adsense TOS, ask them for a
review
Better
yet, design your ad concept on a hidden page and have Google review it
first.
Remember:
Traffic Adsense optimization = More Money
Study
the Google Heat map
Place
site-relevant pictures near your ads
Color
images are often better than black-and-white
Animations
are lame
Integrate
your ads with your site design
Place
ads between blog posts
Place
ads in blog posts
Consider
borderless Adsense ads
Use
wide ad formats
Be
Patient: Time, trial and error are what you need to succeed
Give
your Adsense implementation a few weeks (at least) before drawing any
conclusions.
Use
channels. You are going to want to know which ads are being clicked and
which arent.
