Whatever people may say, I only see these are the only factors that make the difference between your earning and those ‘big-guns’.
1 - Adsense Placement Yes, putting your Adsense in a special way can be the difference between 1% click-through rate (CTR) and 10% CTR. There have been some strategies outlined where you have to make your Adsense like content. You do that by removing the borders and using the same font color that you are using for your website. Choosing the bigger Adsense format has always been recommended. It is said that the big square, wide skyscraper are the top performer. 2 - High Paying Keywords Here’s another known secret. Go for high paying keywords. If your website is about a topic where advertisers are paying high money for them, then you may get more money with Adsense. This is common sense. When people are paying $5.00 per click on Adwords, you may get a lot of money on your Adsense. And if the ads that are showing on your website are ads that people are paying $1.00 per click, you may get lesser than a dollar per click. But the problem with this, high paying keywords are normally very competitive when you are trying to drive traffic with search engine optimization (Search Engine Optimization). So some would just go for low hanging fruits. 3 - Get More Traffic Yep … no secret here. The more traffic you get, the more clicks you are likely to get. And more clicks means more money. But then again, you should think about the type of websites that pull traffic. I believe many of top earners are actually operating a community-based websites. These are like forums, photo blog service providers, blogs that has grown its readerships and maybe even dating profiles. Another way of doing this is where you build your website around user created content. You allow users to create the content, like put in comments and reviews. These are the sites that where people keep coming back for more. The good thing is you don’t have to crack your head for content. If you think you can build one like those, then go for it. 4 - It’s a Numbers Game All in all … Adsense is a numbers game. If you find something that is working for you, to make more income is just to do it again and again. For the black hat SEOers, they just build more and more websites. Unless you successfully build and grow a community-based website, you may want to build more sites. If you build one site that is making $100 a month, then 10 sites would give you $1000. But then again, I would say, you are bound to have sites that will just flop. So out of 10, maybe 3 is doing great, 4 is just so-so, and another 3 just flopped. If a site makes $30 a month, and a great site is doing $300 a month, with just 10 sites, you might be making $1020 a month. |

Well put there really are no big secrets no matter how much you paid for the ebook to find them out. You can find great information in forums for free. It all boils down to the exact factors you stated above, placement, traffic, color, and niche.
Then the real no so secret ingredient is hours of hard work and that is often where people fail. They give up before putting forth the effort. Thanks NicheGuy |

one thing to say about targeting high paying kywords,
there is something called smart pricing. Google measures the quality of the visitors you send to advertisers sites to see how well YOUR traffic is converting for the advertiser. If you send good traffic that converts, you get a higher payout, if you send traffic that is rubbish and never goes ahead and doesent interact with the advertiser you will get a much much lower payout, even if it was the same ad they clicked on on two different sites. A camera comparison site is more likely to get a higher payout than a site about photography. It does make sense. |

Thanks for sharing such cool tips about increasing earnings through adsense.
Adsense placement has always worked for me. Recently i have changed location of ads on my site, giving ads a good position and got a postive response. I suggest using 468*60 graphical banner on top of your pages, it will be better if you make it part of your banner. Give it a try and see the results. Thanks |

Thanks for summary it for us, but these are not big secret.
Unique contents is the king, so do topic names. However ads placement is very important to boost adsense earning. In past, image near adsense(adsense beatiful, decorator) can also boost income but now adsense no more allowed. |
