First of all, you want to have laser-focused content.  A blog about your life where you talk about breaking up with your girlfriend one day and about memories about fishing with your grandpa the next is not going to make much money.  If you want to slap Adsense on a blog to make a few pennies, thatís okay.  But as a business model, it stinks.

Instead, create a website or blog around one highly focused, high earning concept.  For instance, a site about car insurance or personal injury law is going to make more money than a site about hummingbird feeders.  Itís a matter of supply and demand.

Next, you want to have a lot of pages of content.  Articles over 500 words just perform better.  People feel like theyíve gotten some ìmeatî from your site and donít hit the back button as quickly.  You should have at least 20 pages of content on each Adsense site and many have hundreds of pages.  Not only does that give a visitor multiple places to enter, they can also navigate within your site to have a good experience.  Then, when they click away, it will likely be through one of your Adsense links rather than through a back button.

The look of your site also matters.  You donít want the ads to just ìblend in.î  Make the links stand out so people will know to click them.  Many studies have shown that the 250×250 leaderbox put flush left under the headline with the article wrapped around converts the best.

Of course, you should do your own testing on all of these features.  Adsense is a moving target.  The only way to stay on top of Adsense Conversion is to continually monitor your performance.
