<p>In this article the author is going to share with you about how to write mouth- watering sales copy that will make your customers to take out the wallets, yank out their credit card and buy your product. You see, I like to surf the web and do my research the whole day, while am browsing, I see many poorly written sales pages. To be honest with you, you can do all the marketing research and create the ultimate product, but if your sales page is weak or poorly written, nobody will buy from you.</p>
<p>So, in todays post, I&#8217;m going to reveal the insider secret of creating a killer sales letter. I can guarantee that if you implement what I share in this post into your sales page, not just you will get more customers but you&#8217;ll get even more sales. Sound great? Good! Let&#8217;s start the ball rolling&#8221;&brvbar;</p>
<p>Below are the nine elements of any world class sales letter: </p>
<p>Headline</p>
<p>The first and most important part of a sales letter is your headline. I cannot emphasize this enough. If you&#8217;re like those lazy marketers, you&#8217;ll simply put up a headline as an afterthought after you finished the sales letter. You see, this will straight away kill your ad!</p>
<p>Always remember the purpose of your headline is to get attention of your target audience when they first reach your sales page and get them to read your sales letter. You must understand that everyone, including me has a million things going through the mind, like when to finish the work, project deadline to meet and many many more that anyone can think of. You see, I know and understand this, that is why the headline has to cut through all the clutter, grab the prospect lapels and entice them to read.</p>
<p>For excellent examples of powerful and terrific headline, check out the following site : <a href="http://successdoctor.com/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>SuccessDoctor.com</a></p>
<p>This is master copywriter Michel Fortin&#8217;s web site. Scroll down and click to see some of his master work. The opening</p>
<p>This is where many marketers and writers really screw up. They give a long boring introduction at the beginning of the sales letter, as if they are giving a long book report in high school. I still remember sitting down in the class listening to some people reading a book report and you know, how boring it was.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>When you&#8217;re writing your copy, you have to assume or pretend that you are talking to your prospect. Am sure you wouldn&#8217;t start off with a lame or stupid introduction when you were talking to your friend one-on-one. You see, if you are going to start off with a lame and stupid introduction, you&#8217;ll bore your prospect to tears and they&#8217;ll politely nod their head while thinking about some other stuff in their head. So is important to get right to the point in your opening! No fluff, no filler&#8221;&brvbar; just get straight to the point.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>One of my favorite opening is the classic Gary Halbert &#8211; &#8220;If&#8221;&brvbar;Then&#8221; introduction. If you were selling an informational product, you opening would read like this:</p>
<p>&#8220;If you are looking to earn money online from blogging, then this blogging product by Alvin Phang will be the most important product you cannot afford to miss.&#8221;</p>
<p>Above is a simple example but it makes the point. You&#8217;re going to tell your prospect about blogging product that will help them to make money from blogging and then roll into your pitch. Defining The Problem</p>
<p>After you headline and opening, the next thing you want in your letter is to introduce the problem that your product is going to solve, make sure you don&#8217;t talk about your product just yet. A really good way of doing this is to tell a compelling story that illustrates the problem. People love stories, and if you write an interesting and intriguing story that fully presses the prospect&#8217;s hot button or hypnotize them, they will keep reading till the end.</p>
<p>In this section, it is important to put or inject credential in your copy. If you are selling a product on how to make money online, make sure you prove it with bank account statement, checks, etc to how much you earn in how many days of using the product you are promoting.</p>
<p>You see, many people are skeptical when they shop online, I have this feel sometime too. They are skeptical because they are afraid that their credit card number will be stolen or afraid that they will waste money on worthless product, so they don&#8217;t believe what you are telling. In order for your prospect to trust you and lower their guard, you will need to describe the problem as descriptively as possible and providing plenty of proof. By doing this, you will exponentially increase your chance of closing the sale. The Offer</p>
<p>Now remember and keep this in your mind, you are not selling your prospect the actual product. You are selling the solution to their problem. Many marketers keep thinking they are selling the product, you see, if you think of selling the product you are not going to solve the problem for your prospect, but if you think it another way like selling solution to them, prospect will more and willing to listen and buy from you. Therefore, in your order you have to maximize the perceived value and real value of your product.</p>
<p>When you are describing your product, you need to give the most emotional rendition of how your product can help to solve their problem. Add in how your product is going to primary benefit them and you&#8217;ll talk about the other benefits later.</p>
<p>In other words, describe in full details on how their life is going to be infinitely better once their problem is solved when they&#8217;ve used your product. You can also talk about the features of the product and how much time and effort was put in to creating the product. By doing this, you increase the perceived value of the product and justifies the price you will introduce later on. Bullets</p>
<p>This is where you&#8217;ll convert features of your product into benefit laden bullets that will entice your reader to buy your product.Below is an example of a bullet:</p>
<p>&#8220;œThe one mistake most marketer make that kills their sales&#8221;&brvbar;&#8221;&brvbar; and how you use simple, easy adjustment that will increase the sale by 200% or more.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now remember, you cannot have too many bullets. It only takes one bullet to pique the curiosity of your prospect and motivate them to buy. So make sure you try to squeeze as many bullets out of your product. Value Builder</p>
<p>The reason to have a value builder is to show the prospect, in great details, why what they are paying you is a bargain. In this case of the information product above, you can talk about how much money you&#8217;d earn from using the simple and easy adjustment that will save them time and money over and over again.</p>
<p>I hope you get the picture &#8211; the solution their problem. You can also increase value by offering bonuses. Sometimes people will buy because they want your bonus more than your product. Just make sure that your bonus is related to or will enhance your product. This is important as there are some bonuses I see totally had no related value to then main product and because of this it bing down the value of your main product.</p>
<p>It is also crucial to assign a dollar value to each bonus in your copy and add them to show the prospect the awesome value they are getting. With this you are showing the prospect they are getting the deal of a life time, which of course makes the prospect irresistible. Guarantee</p>
<p>The purpose of the guarantee is to remind your prospect of all the claims that you made in your copy of how your product is going to solve their problem. This sets a standard for what they can expect in the product or service and gives them a way to back out if they are not happy with the product.</p>
<p>In your guarantee, you can urge your prospect to test the product for a certain period of time. Yo can also introduce more elements of credibility, such as testimonials in this section of your copy. Saying your terms of your guarantee and refund policy is very important too, so do remember to do that.</p>
<p>Take Away</p>
<p>After you&#8217;ve built up the value of your product or service, it is important to insert take away elements into your copy. If you&#8217;ve done a good job of increasing the perceived value and real value of your product, the price of your product may be too low to be believed. You can leverage this by explaining that the current price is only a test price and that, after a certain time or number of sales, the price may return to normal or even higher levels. Keep in mind and remember that you have to give your prospect a reason for lowering the price.</p>
<p>Marketers test price online all the time, so you can say that you&#8217;re testing the price for ten days and you will test a higher price after that time period is over. You can also say that you are offering a lower price initially to get more sales and gather testimonials so that you can eventually charge more in the future. Post Script (P.S)</p>
<p>It is recommended that, after your signature, you give at least one solid P.S. Here, you should recap the emotional payoff the prospect will get by using your product. Again you want to be as descriptive as possible about how your customer will primarily benefit. You want to get them future-tripping and imagine how their lives will be so much easier after they&#8217;ve started using your product.</p>
<p>Another reason to have a strong P.S in your copy is because most people will scan to the bottom of the page automatically when they are viewing a new website, which I also do that sometime. Because I know I also scan the page, that is why I know having a strong P.S will keep scanner to scroll up and read the letter.</p>
<p>So that&#8217;s it! By implement the structure of a sales letter in your next sales piece, you&#8217;ll be miles ahead of your competition who are just clueless about this.<br />&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>December 19, 2007 </b><a href="http://www.computerworld.com/" target="_blank">(Computerworld)</a> &#8212; Short of being handed your walking papers, there are often telltale signs that it&#8217;s time to look for a new job. You haven&#8217;t been promoted since the Clinton administration. The most exciting assignments are routinely handed to your peers or underlings. Your desk keeps moving farther and farther from where the action is.</p>
<p>But some indicators are less obvious, such as subtle shifts in an IT organization&#8217;s structure that can result in career stagnation. A variety of career experts, headhunters, recruiters, CIOs and IT staffers shared their takes on when it&#8217;s time to move on.</p>
<p><b>1. Your role has become marginalized.</b></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re being bypassed for promotions or interesting assignments, or they&#8217;re consistently being offered instead to IT workers in subordinate positions, &#8220;that would be an obvious sign,&#8221; says Robert Rosen, CIO at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases in Bethesda, Md., and a past president of Share, an <a title="IBM Corporation" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/inform.do?command=search&amp;searchTerms=IBM+Corporation">IBM</a> user group in Chicago.</p>
<p>Often, the handwriting is on the wall. You just need to stop, step back and read it. &#8220;If you feel like you&#8217;re no longer contributing, there&#8217;s a good chance you may not be,&#8221; says Frank Hood, CIO at The <a title="Quizno's Master LLC" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/inform.do?command=search&amp;searchTerms=Quizno's+Master+LLC">Quiznos Master LLC</a> in Denver.</p>
<p><b>2. You&#8217;ve stopped growing.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re not learning every day, if you&#8217;re not doing new things, and if you&#8217;re not improving&#8221; it&#8217;s time to move on, says Sara Garrison, senior vice president of product and solutions development at <a title="Sabre Holdings Corporation" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/inform.do?command=search&amp;searchTerms=Sabre+Holdings+Corporation">Sabre Holdings Corp.</a> in Southlake, Texas.</p>
<p>Red lights should be flashing if you&#8217;ve effectively been in the same role for two or three years and haven&#8217;t taken on any significant new challenges during that time, says Umesh Ramakrishnan, vice chairman of CTPartners, an executive recruiting firm in New York.</p>
<p><b>3. You&#8217;re missing from the big picture.</b></p>
<p>Most CIOs assemble a road map of where they intend to take their organizations over the next 12 to 60 months, including the top IT/business projects they plan to work on, notes Joe Trentacosta, CIO at the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative Inc. in Hughesville, Md. So, if there are a lot of upcoming projects that don&#8217;t include your area of expertise or in which you figure to play a minor role at best, &#8220;that&#8217;s a warning sign,&#8221; he says.</p>
<p>Further, if you&#8217;ve been relegated to a commodity-type IT function that offers little value to the organization or can easily be outsourced, &#8220;it&#8217;s time to move on to a new opportunity,&#8221; says <a title="Hans Keller" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/inform.do?command=search&amp;searchTerms=Hans+Keller">Hans Keller</a>, chief technology officer at the National Aquarium in Baltimore.</p>
<p><b>4. You&#8217;re being excluded.</b></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a CIO or other senior IT manager, the warning signs can include not being asked to participate in new business decisions or being excluded from formal or informal executive committee meetings, says Craig Urrizola, CIO at Saladino&#8217;s Inc., a Fresno, Calif.-based food distributor.</p>
<p>The view is equally bleak if you&#8217;re an IT staffer whose input on new projects is no longer requested or is sought out on just a limited basis.</p>
<p><b>5. Your level of influence is waning.</b></p>
<p>A CIO certainly has more clout within an organization than a network engineer. But all IT professionals possess some level of influence within their work teams or at least among their own peer groups. If you see your powers of persuasion shrinking, it&#8217;s time to move on, Keller suggests.</p>
<p><b>6. You no longer enjoy the work.</b></p>
<p>&#8220;Someone once told me that we&#8217;re not here for a long time; we&#8217;re here for a good time,&#8221; says Michael Nieset, managing partner for the technology practice at the Cleveland office of executive search firm Heidrick &amp; Struggles International Inc. &#8220;Sometimes people stay in suboptimal situations because it&#8217;s comfortable for them. You have to take control.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you&#8217;re not excited about the projects you&#8217;re working on, fix it,&#8221; he says. &#8220;If you are wholly engaged, passionate about what you&#8217;re doing and doing what you&#8217;re good at, you&#8217;ll be fulfilled and rewarded accordingly. &#8220;</p>
<p><b>7. Continuous improvement isn&#8217;t part of the mantra.</b></p>
<p>Sometimes there are organizational changes &#8212; or lack thereof &#8212; that you should regard as career alerts. These include stagnation within a corporation or an IT department. If your IT organization has been using the same application-development techniques for 15 years and has made no effort to update its approach, &#8220;then something&#8217;s wrong,&#8221; says David Van De Voort, principal consultant at Mercer LLC in Chicago. If your company is unwilling to invest in continuous improvement processes such as CMMI, ITIL or Six Sigma, it may be time to seek a company that is, he adds.</p>
<p><b>8. Greener pastures truly are greener.</b></p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve reached a crossroads where you&#8217;ve become disenchanted with your employer for one reason or another (long hours, infrequent promotions, career malaise, etc.), and you&#8217;ve received a job offer from another company, it may be the right time to jump ship. &#8220;In situations where things don&#8217;t fix themselves &#8212; if you hate what you&#8217;re doing, or you&#8217;re not proud of what you&#8217;re doing, or there&#8217;s an issue you need to talk to your boss about but you don&#8217;t because you know it won&#8217;t do any good &#8212; that&#8217;s when it&#8217;s time to look for a new job,&#8221; says Joel Reiter, an application analyst at <a title="u.s. bancorp" href="http://www.computerworld.com/action/inform.do?command=" search&amp;searchTerms='U.S.+Bancorp""'>U.S. Bancorp</a> in St. Paul, Minn.</p>
<p>In this situation, however, be certain that you&#8217;re not jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Make sure you&#8217;re moving toward a good opportunity and not just moving away from one that has gone bad.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the purpose of <strong>headlines</strong>? To cause readers to read the rest of the ad or article! Most <strong>ads</strong> or articles failed because the <strong>headlines</strong> are not captivating enough to draw attention of readers.</p>
<p>On the Internet, you have less than 3 seconds to create an impression. With the amount of information and ads, readers are spoilt for choice. To captivate them, your headline must be Outstanding!</p>
<p>So, how are we going to write <strong>headlines</strong> that are crowd-pullers?</p>
<p>Allow me to share with you 3 simple but effective techniques&hellip;</p>
<p><strong>1. First and foremost, you must have your Readers in mind</strong></p>
<p>When it comes to writing to sell, you must have your readers in mind. Don&rsquo;t write to feed your ego. If you can connect with the needs, desires or wants of your readers through your headlines, you are already halfway through to making the sale or whatever you would have them do.</p>
<p>Some <strong>business</strong> and even <strong>advertising</strong> agencies still make the mistake of putting brands in the forefront. It is readers first, then your brand. The only exception to the rule is classic branded names like <strong>IBM</strong>, <strong>Microsoft</strong> or Cocoa-Cola. These branded names are worth a fortune and very marketable.</p>
<p>Until you&rsquo;ve built a reputable <strong>business</strong>, and people have come to trust your brand name, stick to this rule. Focus on your readers first, then your product or service.</p>
<p>Example&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Super Weight Loss Pills, $25 per bottle&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Now, you can lose 20 pounds in 30 days with Super Weight Loss Pills&rdquo;</p>
<p>Which headline will draw readers? The second ad obviously! It puts the reader first &ndash; you can lose 20 pounds in 30 days.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s more&hellip;</p>
<p>#1 &ldquo;Enterprise Home Loans &ndash; Hassle-Free Financing&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Own Your Dream Home With Hassle-Free Financing From Enterprise Home Loans&rdquo;</p>
<p>#2<br />&ldquo;Mama Mia Pizza &ndash; Simply Mouth-Watering&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Tantalize Your Taste Buds with Mama Mia Mouth-Watering Pizza&rdquo;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s not about your business or product. It&rsquo;s about your readers. Watch the &lsquo;You&rsquo; and &lsquo;Your&rdquo;. Place them in the foreground.</p>
<p><strong>2. Pose a question</strong></p>
<p>Headlines written in the form of a question are very effective, especially if they identify a specific problem, need, desire or want of your readers. It engages readers right from start. For example&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Those who are sick and tired of being sick and tired would be drawn into the ad or article.</p>
<p>More headlines in question form&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Are You Suffering From Depression?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Is Search Engine Marketing Driving You Bonkers?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Do You Dream Of Having Your Own Successful Online Business?&rdquo;</p>
<p><strong>3. Arouse Curiosities</strong></p>
<p>Words like &lsquo;How to&rsquo;, &lsquo;Secrets&rsquo;, &lsquo;Discover&rsquo; arouse curiosity and urge readers to read more. Then it is up to your content, word play, and flow to keep them mesmerized.</p>
<p>Savor these examples&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;How To Write Killer Headlines&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Secrets of Surviving Google Dance&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Discover Healthy Living The All Natural Way&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;10 Demons To Avoid in Your Website Design&rdquo;</p>
<p>The &lsquo;10 Demons&rsquo; adds an element of curiosity to the last headline.</p>
<p>And if you combine question and curiosity in your headline, it&rsquo;s becomes a double whammy.</p>
<p>Examples&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s Wrong with Marketing Hype?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Do You Make These Mistakes in Copywriting?&rdquo;</p>
<p>The &lsquo;What&rsquo;s Wrong&rsquo; and &lsquo;These Mistakes&rsquo; arouse curiosity.</p>
<p>Now for more&hellip;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Do You Know The Secrets To An Annual 6 Figure Salary?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Does Your Product Have All The Ingredients of a Bestseller?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;What Are The Tell-tale Signs of a Rogue SEO Company?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Are Your Headlines Lacking these Crowd-pulling Techniques?&rdquo;</p>
<p>The last headline sounds familiar doesn&rsquo;t it?</p>
<p>Test! Test! Test!</p>
<p>Remember, you are writing for your readers. You need to know what&rsquo;s going on their minds. A re-phrasing or re-wording in your headline can increase returns by as much as 500 percent without any changes in content.</p>
<p>For each ad, write about a dozen <strong>headlines</strong>. After you have crafted your <strong>headlines</strong>, do a preliminary test. Select 2 or 3 you think are the best. Send them to friends, colleagues, and family members. A pattern will emerge with valuable feedback. Use the information to carve out a winning <strong>headline</strong> &ndash; one that pulls in readers and engages them.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>AdSense</strong> Crawler bounce along all over the Internet, visiting publishers&#8217; sites, and letting the <strong>AdSense</strong> system back at Google know what the pages are all about. But the problem come when the site need to be login and asking for password. <strong>Adsense</strong> Crawler can&#8217;t go crawling behind that login page.</p>
<p>The result is that users end up with poorly targeted ads and the <strong>AdSense</strong> Crawler ends up with sleepless nights, wondering what could have been &#8212; if only it had crawled those pages.</p>
<p>Recently, <strong>Google Adsense</strong> have launched a new feature called Site Authentication to take care of the problem. Using Site Authentication, you can give the crawler access to your login-protected pages by passing it information to log into your site. For example, let&#8217;s say your news site has a premium content area, with articles that only paying members can access. To get ads on those pages, you can use Site Authentication to provide the crawler with a test username and password. It&#8217;s an easy process that starts just by logging into your <strong>AdSense</strong> account and finding the &#8216;Site Authentication&#8217; link under the &#8216;<strong>AdSense</strong> Setup&#8217; tab. Once you&#8217;ve supplied Adsense Crawler with a username, password, and a few other details, all you have to do is verify that you own the site through <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps?sourceid=aso&amp;subid=ww-en-et-asblog_2007-07-17&amp;medium=link">Google Sitemaps</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Google AdSense</strong> is probably one of the most popular revenue generators in the Web. We hear the stories about bloggers-genies, who manage to turn their blogs into cash machines overnight. However, it&#8217;s not that simple to find the actual tips, which stick to Google policies, might increase your revenues and don&#8217;t try to trick out the readers of your weblog.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SmashingMagazine/~3/103457362/"><span>Vitaly Friedman &#038; Sven Lennartz</span></a> spent several hours, trying to find out, what might increase your Google AdSense income and which tools you can use to observe and track your revenues. <strong>They selected the key-points of successful stories and useful tips as well as Google AdSense sites and services</strong> you can use on a daily basis.</p>
<h3>Things You Probably Don&#8217;t Know About Google AdSense</h3>
<ul>
<li>“AdSense Earning = Impression-count x Click-though-rate x Cost-per-click x smart-pricing-factor. Viewing your on website will not get you banned. Just make sure you don’t click on the ads. However, repeatedly reload your page to jack up page impressions can get you banned. Click-through-rate (CTR) is ratio of clicks per impressions. It can range from 0.1% to 30%, but most commonly around 1% to 10%.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.hundredtips.com/100-google-adsense-tips.html">100 Google Adsense Tips</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>First impressions count</strong>: make sure the ad unit with the highest CTR is the first ad unit in the HTML code of your page. Keep in mind that the first ad unit in the source code is not always the first ad unit that your users will see when the page finishes loading in their browser.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/11/first-impressions-count.html">Inside AdSense: First impressions count</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>Ads placed near rich content and navigational aids usually do well</strong> because users are focused on those areas of a page. on pages where users are typically focused on reading an article, ads placed directly below the end of the editorial content tend to perform very well.”[<a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?answer=17954">Where should I place Google ads on my pages?</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>Format is important for multiple ad units</strong>, display your ad units where repeat users will notice them, place a leaderboard immediately after the last post.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2005/10/six-adsense-optimization-tips-for.html">Six AdSense optimization tips for forums</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>The middle, above the fold location performs the best</strong>. <strong>Best performing ad format</strong> is the large rectangle, <strong>336×280</strong>. So the wider ad formats are doing better than the other ones and the reason is that they actually take up fewer lines. And so with every additional line, you have a chance of losing that interested user. So the wider formats do best so specifically, the top three formats are the 336×280 that you see on the page; the 300×250 medium rectangle; and then the 160×600 wide skyscraper. We have a feature in the AdSense account where you are able to multi-select different color palettes that blend with your site to add some variety and freshness to the ads. And that also will help decrease ad blindness.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.google.com/services/adsense_webinar.html">Google AdSense Optimization Webinar</a>]</li>
<li>“The second most active placement in terms of click-throughs tends to be the right-hand rail or margin”. <strong>“Skyscrapers” and vertical banners do well when placed next to the content in the main body</strong>. Square and rectangle ads placed within the center column also do well, provided they are placed in context to the content. Ads placed below the fold tend to perform least well, although that isn’t a hard-and-fast rule.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://ypnblog.com/blog/2006/05/10/location-location-location/">Yahoo! Publisher Network: Location, location, location…</a>]</li>
<li>“I found the most success in placing the Google Adsense medium rectangle either right in the middle of the page or in a middle right column as long as it has content above and below the ad unit. Its is fine to use Adsense Ads on a forum however expect a very low CTR.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.gallconsulting.com/tips/adsense.tips.htm">Google Adsense Tips for Webmasters</a>]</li>
<li>“Post Adsense ads on text rich pages, avoid titles like the approved ‘Sponsored Links’ and ‘Advertisements’, <strong>place Ads above the fold</strong>, Match the colors of your ads with the colour scheme of your site, Blend ads with your page &#8211; remove the borders by having a similar color as your background.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/03/increase-google-adsense-ctr-by-500/">How to Increase Google Adsense CTR</a>]</li>
<li>“To remove Public Service Ads (PSA) in Google Adsense develop sufficient good content with keywords, Ensure that META tags like ‘title’ &#038; ‘description’ and the headings tags like h1, h2 etc. have content which matches the rest of your site.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/02/public-service-ads-psa-in-adsense-how-to-get-rid-of-them/">How to Remove Public Service Ads (PSA) in Google Adsense</a>]</li>
<li>“You can now <strong>run AdSense on the same page as other contextual ad programs</strong>.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.jensense.com/archives/2007/01/its_official_yo.html">It's official! You can now run AdSense on the same page as other contextual ad programs</a>]</li>
<li>“Google AdSense Policy: We ask that publishers not line up images and ads in a way that suggests a relationship between the images and the ads.” [ <a target="_blank" href="http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/12/ad-and-image-placement-policy.html">Inside AdSense: Ad and image placement: a policy clarification</a> ]</li>
<li>“Section targeting uses certain html tweaks to force the google adsense bot to focus on specific content. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=23168">Section targeting</a> is the latest and most effective addition to AdSense”. [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.techaddi.com/index.php/archive/display-relevant-adsense-ads-using-section-targeting/">Display Relevant Adsense Ads Using Section Targeting</a>]</li>
<li>“Over the weekend, I decided to change the number of ads units on my blog based upon where the traffic is coming from. I have a small PHP function that checks to see if the referrer is a search engine, and if it is, I display and additional 2 ad units. My Adsense revenue increasing by 284% on Saturday, Sunday and Monday!” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.digitalmediaminute.com/article/1788/positive-adsense-experiment">Positive Adsense Experiment</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>Never click your own adsense ads</strong> or get them clicked for whatever reason. Never change the Adsense code. Do not run competitive contextual text ad or search services on the same site. Do not mask ad elements. Avoid excessive advertising and keyword stuffing.” [ <a target="_blank" href="http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/05/15-common-mistakes-by-google-adsense-publishers/">15 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS</a> ]</li>

<li>“A number of factors come into play when AdSense tries to determine what the page is about: The URL of the page, the page title, the anchor text of links, the keywords that appear most frequently within the page, search engine queries that lead to the page or to another page that links to the page”.

Make good use of the Ad Channels. Give it time.” [<a target="_blank" href="http://www.yugatech.com/blog/?p=1363">Tips on Blog Adsensification</a>]</li>
<li>“<strong>You can put upto 3 AdSense units on a page</strong>. For short articles, CTR is best when ads are placed just above the content. For long articles, CTR improves if ads are placed somewhere in middle of the content.
