Quick, practical starter pack for getting more from AdSense (builds on what asked and the pointers from , and ).

As suggested, start with Google's official guidance, but also use forum threads (as recommended) to see real experiments. Historical experts like JenStar (mentioned by ) can be useful for strategy ideas — but always date-check older tips against current rules.

  • Put content first. Better, original content gets better ad targeting and more sustainable traffic. Thin or doorway pages hurt long-term earnings.
  • Follow policies. Read the AdSense program rules and treat compliance as your top priority; policy changes happen and can cost accounts.
  • Ad placement, not ad count. Place units where they are viewable and relevant, but avoid layouts that encourage accidental clicks or mimic site controls.
  • Use responsive units / Auto ads for mobile. Modern traffic is mobile-first; responsive ads adapt better and reduce layout mistakes.
  • Test one thing at a time. Change only one variable (size, color, position, or ad type), run the test for multiple traffic cycles, and compare before/after performance.
  • Speed and UX matter. Fast pages keep users and increase viewability and ad coverage.

Measure correctly: track page RPM rather than CTR alone. A simple RPM formula is RPM = (estimated earnings / pageviews) * 1000. Use AdSense reports (and link AdSense to Analytics if you can) to get stable samples before deciding a winner.

Authoritative reading: start at the and keep the handy. For ad-quality and user-experience guidance, the Better Ads Standards is also useful.

Hmmm. Can't really mention any websites. Try searching daniweb for adsense and YPN strategies. Other than that, your best bet is probably to just use Google.

For some good tips, check out the official AdSense blog on Google's site :) Or, if you have any specific questions, post them here and we'll help you out.

We just have a non-site specific policy around here because otherwise your thread would just be an invitation for everyone with a webmaster-related site to spam :)
