VIDEOHow to maximize your Google AdSense revenue.
You can maximize your AdSense earning potential with these easy-to implement tips.
1. Display your ads above-the-fold
Placement of ads above the fold will increase your chances of getting clicks by making them more visible.
2. Try out different formats of ads.
AdSense publishers can choose from a variety of ad formats. Google offers a variety of AdSense ad formats. Choose the one that best suits your page.
3. Ad color combinations can be customized.
Use custom color combinations when creating your ad unit. You can ensure that your ad’s text, border, and background colors complement your website. Choose from a variety of colors and create your own color palettes or choose from more than 20 predefined combinations. Follow the below points when using color palettes.
The background of the ad should be the same or similar to that of your website.
The border of your ad should be a color that stands out on your website.
The color of the title should be similar to that on your website.
The color of the URL should be similar to that of other links on your site.

4. Googlebot can access the content of your website.
AdSense is only as good as the content on your website. Some mechanisms on your website may limit the amount content we can crawl to generate ads.
Robots
Remove the robots.txt or add two lines at the top:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
This will allow Google to provide the most relevant Google Ads.
Frames
Place the AdSense code in the frame that contains the content of your website. This will allow relevant ads to be displayed. If you place the code in a frame that is otherwise empty, or contains only graphics or dynamic contents, google will not be able to gather content and serve targeted ads.
When generating code for ad layout pages that have frames, make sure you select the Framed page box on the Ad layout page.
Login/Authentication requirements
AdSense code can be placed on pages where an account is not required. Google crawlers may not be optimized to index pages requiring a username and a password. As a result of this, relevant ads might not be served.
5. Filter ads that you do not want to appear on your website.
AdSense allows you to create a URL Filter List from the Settings section in your account. By adding a URL to the filter list, you will be able to prevent any ads from appearing on your site. It’s a simple and quick way to stop unwanted ads and those of your competitors from appearing on your website. The ads for websites you add to the filter list won’t run on your website. However, filtering sites can reduce the number of advertisements that appear on your page and your potential earnings.
