A SiteSearch to behold
If you’re familiar with AdSense for search, then you’re probably aware of the SiteSearch feature, with which users can search through the pages of your site. When you generate AdSense for search code with SiteSearch enabled, the search box will currently default to selecting the websearch radio button. However, a number of publishers have asked if it’s possible to have their search boxes default to SiteSearch instead.
It’s a little-known fact, but we’re happy to tell you that it is possible to select this option within your account. First, visit the ‘AdSense Setup’ tab and select ‘AdSense for search’ as your product. On the code generation page, you’ll see a sample search box under ‘Search box style’ that changes as you customize the layout:

Google Adsense Page Positioning
Correct positioning of your Google adsense ads can make or break your success with the Google adsense program. Why is this true? Some studies suggest that eye positioning on website gravitate to particular sections of web pages. And if you don’t have the necessary ads in these positions you will not get the clicks.
I talked to countless people that have great traffic, some with 300 to 1000 new visitors a day that say that they only make approx. at max $10 to $20 dollars a month on the adsense program. What a shame. But when I look at their websites the ads are either buried in wording that no one usually pays attention to or the ads are located in positions that just don’t call any attention to their presence.

Where’s the best place to put Google Adsense Ads?
Why, on your web pages of course. Ok, just kidding. The real question should be: “Is there really any truth to the rumors that where you place those Google AdSense ads can actually improve response?” According to my best information, the answer to that question is: Yes.
Google’s own AdSense experts say that that there is a direct correlation between the placement of the AdSense ads and the resulting clickthrough.
When ads are placed in “content zones”, rather than in “advertising zones”, response rates on Google AdWords goes up. There are also indications showing that ads appearing on the right side of the page get clicked more than ads appearing on the left side.

The AdSense Referral Program
Google is on the cutting edge of internet marketing, and they have done a tremendous amount of work on helping people who are new to the world of internet business to become successful. Through their AdSense program, they have created an opportunity for anyone to start a blog or become a member with an outside site, and begin building a financial empire from nothing more than an idea. The work you do on the site you create is what ultimately determines the success of your AdSense participation. And it’s not simply the general ads you place on your site advertising other businesses. Google even allows you the option to advertise the AdSense program itself to others who visit your website. It’s the Google AdSense Referral Program, and it can generate even more revenue for you.
AdSense Pitfalls To Avoid
Using Google AdSense can be a great means of increasing the profitability of a marketer’s website. There’s no doubt about it, many people have tried it and made money, and are still continuing to make money from AdSense. So what is it that you can do that could turn this potentially profitable tool into a potential disaster? Let’s take a look.
The biggest pitfalls that I’ve seen with AdSense are generally at the starting line. Once you have Google AdSense in place on your site, there are not too many mistakes that people make. So, my first recommendation is to follow Google’s guidelines on using the AdSense program. Simple enough, right? Well, maybe.
Here’s a short list of no-no’s according to Google:
AdSense Click Fraud and How It Affects AdSense Publishers
As an AdSense publisher, or affiliate, you are trying to make money from the work you have done on your site. That’s what it’s all about for you, as it should be. Making money while doing something you enjoy that also gives you freedom in your life like you never imagined was possible, is a dream come true. But it’s about to become a nightmare, and you may find yourself unable to wake up from this one. Click fraud could ruin everything you’ve worked so hard to accomplish, and then there will be nothing left. Here’s why.
Click fraud is the generation of clicks for no other reason than to raise your click-through rate, or CTR. With AdSense, Google has done a lot to prevent this, but it still happens. The trouble is that when click fraud occurs, it blows up the CTR for that site, and Smart Pricing then drops the value, and thus the price paid, for each click. Everyone who uses AdSense is hurt because advertisers will feel that they are not getting their money’s worth, and they will leave. Those who decide to advertise through AdSense will be less likely to pay a premium price, and so your earnings are driven down through simple economics. The reputation of the AdSense program can be harmed by click fraud.
How To Choose Profitable AdSense Site Topics
With the world filled with so many different people with such a wide variety of interests, choosing a topic for your website can be a daunting task. One could do some market research to find information on which topics are hottest or consult with an Internet marketing guru to get their input on which direction you should head in.
For AdSense, any topics of interest to you will be of interest to other people out there. Basically, if you’re interested in a topic, others will be searching for it, too. The trick to finding the right topic, however, is choosing a topic that is of interest to enough people to be able to drive a stream of traffic to your site that will make using Google AdSense a profitable endeavor for you.
