There are many ways in which you can blend the adverts into your website by choosing a particular colour for the ads as an example. Placement of the ads is also quite important and there is information on the Google site which advises where to put the adverts for maximum impact.
I have a number of sites, some where I do include adsense and others where I prefer to keep all of the traffic at the site such as my one offering Currys Voucher Codes, cheap mobile calls, and cost reduction specialists websites.
I believe the best way to increase your earnings however is to get more traffic to the website. There are many ways of doing this:
Google adwords
You can create an advertising campaign using google adwords. You can agree to pay an amount that you are comfortable with and with what is affordable to yourself – there is no need to break the bank. People will then visit your site and hopefully click on one of the other ads, therefore making you money.
This can work very well for certain subjects, but not so well for others. With many similar things it is merely a case of giving it a go. If the scheme does not prove to be worthwhile you try something else.
It is obviously important that we do not spend more on our own advertising, than we are likely to earn.
Writing articles
Writing articles can also help you to obtain more visitors to your site. The people who read the article are potential visitors, you also obtain a one way backward link from the article directory which you submit the article to, and other webmasters may also include the article on their own site, thus creating another one way backward link. These backward links help to increase your overall page rank. Some webmasters now believe that page rank is not that important these days and that “trust rank” has now become more important. In general however if your website has a page rank of four or higher you should do pretty well.
Link exchange
Exchanging links with other websites which are hopefully in the same business sector as your own, also has value. These links are not as powerful as the one way links mentioned above but are still worth seeking.
You can speak to other website owners on the telephone or you can send them a quick e-mail to see whether they would exchange links.
