5 Tips On Using Google AdSense To Make You Money

Google AdSense can be an absolute goldmine for anyone who is willing to invest some time in learning how to use it effectively. A lot of people who start using Google AdSense tend to get turned off by it within the first couple of months because they just don’t seem to be making the money that they had expected.

Arm yourself against making the typical newbie mistakes and read our tips below so that you’ll know just how you can make some good cash off of AdSense.

1. Where Does AdSense Make Sense?

Perhaps the biggest mistake that those who use AdSense make is that they throw ads on every type of website imaginable. Don’t waste your time, effort and ads on sites that won’t be bringing in the cash.

Let’s take a tech info website for example. If you run a site that provides high level tech advice, then there’s a very low chance that anyone visiting your site will bother with your AdSense ads. Why? Because these people just don’t generally click on those types of ads. They know about AdSense, and they didn’t come to your website for anything but the information written on your site. They want answers to a problem, and then they want to get out.

Let’s say you have a website that’s more geared towards sales, however. This would be a better type of site to have ads on as people will be far more likely to click on the advertisements you put up.

It may take a bit of trial and error since some niches tend to do better than others when it comes to these types of ads, but generally speaking, if your blog or website is about selling things, then AdSense will work better for you.

2. “SmartPricing:” Anything But Smart

Whenever possible, you have to avoid Google’s “SmartPricing” scheme. With SmartPricing, Google gives advertisers a discount based on how popular or “valuable” your website is. They tend to base this on your site’s click through ratio.

So if your website has a high click through ratio, then the perceived value of your site is high so then the cost per ad click is higher. If your click through ratio is low, however, the value of your site is “low” so you get less money per click. The difference between a SmartPriced site and a non-SmartPriced site can be anywhere from a couple cents to several dollars in difference.

One way to avoid this is to post your AdSense ads only on your older posts. Why? Because anyone who regularly visits your site isn’t going to click on your ads. If you post them on your older posts however, you’ll be able to possibly keep your click through ratio pretty high. There are a lot of resources out there about how you can change the coding of your website or blog to keep your ads only on your older posts.

Another way to avoid the dreaded SmartPricing is to display your ads to those who have landed on your page through a search engine only. You can again tailor your blog using the “function” file to change where the ads are displayed.

3. Choose The Best Keywords

Google is all about keywords, so in order to make the biggest profit you need to choose the best CPC keywords out there. You can use a number of great tools out there to help identify what the high paying keywords for your niche are, and there are several lists supplied for free, such as www.rumler.com.

Keywords also determine what kind of ads are going to show up on your website or blog. Nothing’s worse than visiting a website that’s cluttered with ads that don’t even make sense. Target your keywords so that you’ll be able to “influence” what types of ads will show up on your blog or site. Make sure that these keywords are on your website or blog entry, but BE CAREFUL. If the keyword density is too high, you WILL be penalized by Google and can even be tossed out of their AdSense program.

TIP: Read Google’s terms of service. Once you’re out of the program, you’re pretty much out for good. Follow the terms of service, stay in their good graces, and write greatcontent so you’ll continue to get visitors who’ll click on your ads.

4. Choose Big Ads

AdSense advertisements come in a variety of formats, so you can tailor the formats to see which works best with your blog. Having an advertisement that looks good on your blog or site is important, but keep this in mind: the large 336×280 rectangle sized advertisements has long proven to give the best payout. Maybe this is because the ad is right in any visitors face, or maybe it’s because that size can display video ads (which are increasing in popularity). Either way, it may be a good idea to start out with an ad around that size.

5. Monitor Your Success

No matter what you do with your blog or website, you need to keep track of how successful your ads are doing. If you don’t monitor your ads, then you will ultimately fail. You’ll be able to pin point which ads work, which don’t, and over time you may discover that certain ads work best at certain times throughout the year while others work best at other times.

One of the best things that we can suggest is that you look at your top 1/5 of pages, and then you take a look at your bottom 1/5 of pages. Why are the top 1/5 of pages making more money? What are you doing right? Try to take what seems to be working with the top 1/5 of your pages and then incorporate those ideas and methods into the bottom 1/5.

You’ll also be able to quickly see whether or not your chosen keywords are making money. If your keywords aren’t working, change them up! You should always do a top keyword run at least once a week to make sure that your site is up to date and current.

ADDRESS AND PHONE VERIFICATION

What is address verification?

To protect the security of accounts, Google requires you to verify your address before we can send you any payments. To do so, we mail a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to your Payee Profile address. You'll then need to enter this PIN within your account.

When will my PIN arrive?

We'll print and send your PIN by standard mail several days after your account balance reaches the verification threshold for the first time. PINs typically arrive within 2-4 weeks, but may take longer depending on your location.

What does the PIN mailer look like?

We mail your PIN on a white postcard measuring 4.5 x 6 inch (11.4 x 15.2 cm). See an example

When do I need to enter my PIN?

You'll have 6 months from the date your first PIN is generated to enter it in your account. If you haven't entered it after 6 months, we will stop showing ads on your pages.

Where can I enter my PIN?

When you receive your PIN, enter it in your account following the instructions on the PIN mailer.

What if my PIN doesn't arrive?

We understand that due to postal service issues in your area your PIN can fail to reach you. That's why if you don't receive your first PIN, you can request 2 additional replacement PINs. Learn how to request a new PIN.

Can I send you a copy of my official identity document or domestic bill?

Only if you've requested your maximum of 3 PINs and haven't received any of them within 4 weeks of your last PIN request. In this case, sign in to your account and you'll see a notice on your Home page with further instructions on how to send us an official document proving your address through a 'Contact Us' form.

Choose or change my payment method

To choose or change your form of payment, follow these steps.

1. Sign in to your account.
2. Visit the Account settings page.
3. In the Payment settings section, click "edit payment method".
4. Choose the radio button for your preferred form of payment and click Continue.
5. Follow any additional instructions to choose your form of payment, and save your changes.

Please be aware that you won't be able to select a form of payment if your earnings haven't reached the payment method selection threshold.

Fixing Ad Disabled Videos and Commercial Proof Rights Warnings

When monetizing each single video you upload to your channel, and specially when mass uploading videos, even if they don’t have any type of content used that can be claimed, or having used copyrighted material, you might find yourself getting the dreaded message in your associated email account, “More information needed to consider your video monetization request” and “Your video has been disabled from revenue sharing”, the first has a chance to get re-enabled, the latter doesn’t.

If you are partnered with a network, this issue will continue to happen, but you avoid the problem of getting your Adsense account banned.

Below we dissect the messages and what to do in order to start making some bucks of your uploaded videos once again.

YouTube Email Notifications

These are the notifications you receive through email, each time a video gets disabled for monetization or requires further proof to get enabled.

More information needed to consider your video monetization request

Dear “user”,

Thanks for submitting your video “Video Title” (http://www.youtube.com/url) for monetization. We did not approve this video for monetization because the content in your video and/or the metadata may not be advertiser-friendly.

Please note that YouTube reserves the right to make the final decision whether to monetize a video, and we may disable monetization for partners who repeatedly submit ineligible videos.

As next steps, please read our Community Guidelines before enabling another video for monetization.

Thanks,

The YouTube Team

Whether the metadata (probably tags, description and title) and content is atcually reviewed by a human is highly unlikely, unless you have a hugely popular channel that is. They certainly randomize videos when rejecting them for monetization specially when it comes to mass video uploaders and when the video length is too short. Also, pay attention to the phrase “partners who repeatedly submit ineligible videos”.

More information needed to consider your video monetization request

Dear “user”,

At this time, we are unable to approve your video(s) because we do not have sufficient information regarding your commercial use rights.

We may consider your video(s) for further review provided you verify that you are authorized to commercially use all of the elements of your content. This includes all video, images, music, video game footage, and any other audio or visual elements. Learn more

Please note that YouTube reserves the right to make the final decision whether to monetize a video, and we may disable monetization for partners who repeatedly submit ineligible videos. All videos are subject to our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, and may be removed from the site if they do not meet those standards.

Please submit your additional information below:

“Video URL Requiring Proof for Monetization”

Remember that a variety of factors, such as video performance, may affect review time. We may not be able to process every submission, but we continually monitor these factors and prioritize accordingly.

As you can guess, the more relevant your channel becomes in YouTube, the highest the chances of actually getting your video reviewed and approved, which most of the time simply never happens.

How To Get Your YouTube Video Re-Enabled for Monetization

If you see the ! warning instead of the white $ icon that reads “Not Monetized. Click To Provide Proof of Commercial Use Rights.” Then proceed with the following steps to get the video reviewed.

• Click on the ! icon or the edit button of the corresponding video.
• Click on the “Monetization Tab” once in the editing screen.
• Click on “I can provide proof of commercial use rights”.
• Now, from the dropdown menu, choose the option that fits your video the best:
• My Video Contains Only My Original Content
• I have an online license for some or all of my content
• I have written permission to use some or all of my content
• Finally, the most important step on this process is to provide the details in order to get your video enabled for monetization. That includes the software you used to record the video, hardware as well, soundtracks used (which of course should always be royalty-free and not copyrighted if you aim to make money from it). Below you can find the suggested info, according to youtube, that must be included in order to have a chance to finally getting your video re-enabled for ads.

Explain in the text box below how you own commercial use rights to your content. You are welcome to use the suggested information as a starting point. However, it is up to you to provide all necessary details. Please note that YouTube may need to ask you for additional information

Your song/musical piece
Music composer/publisher
Your music label (if any)
Link to software license terms (if any)

Name of the track
Artist of the track
Direct URL of the track
Video game or software name
Link to online license terms
Primary source establishing public domain status

• Click on Save Changes.
• Once you go back to video manager, you will see that the status now reads “Pending Review” with a greyed out $ icon instead of the ! warning. Now you need to wait, maybe a day, or maybe months, until you get lucky and that video gets reviewed. Again, the more relevant your channel is, the more likely your videos will get a preferential treatment when it comes to monetization requests.

When A video gets “Rejected for Monetization”, there’s no option to get it reviewed, simply because the monetization tab is gone. You might consider taking down this video and re-edit it getting rid of all the stuff that might have been the cause for getting rejected, if any.

A YouTube Analytics Guide for Beginners

If you’re just getting started with your own youtube channel, but are serious in your mission to make money with it, then analyzing and viewing accurate stats from your own account is mandatory to see if your videos are indeed good enough and matching the right audience.

The bad thing is that YouTube Insights only shows stats for the last month, and does not allow you to download your statistics for the entire channel history. Also, the data shown will always have a delay of at least 3 days, so you won’t get the latest visitor tracking info. Below we dissect and explain each section of youtube analytics.

In a few words, YouTube Insights allows you to know whether you’re doing a good work with your videos or need to improve the quality a lot in order to view improvements in subscriptions and sharing.

Mind you, once you’re in a partnership, the channel earning stats will not longer appear in your YT like it used to when you had Adsense associated to it. Each partner has their own control panel where they show the earning reports (see the complete list of youtube partners here).

Performance

Despite having a general engagement report on the analytics homepage, you will have a chance to get a detailed look at the left sidebar section. Click on “Views” and you will see a chart displaying views for the last month, whether in a weekly, monthly or daily view. From this page you can also verify the list of countries where the views are coming from and the total watched minutes for the last month.

Demographics

Youtube, unlike any other tool that monitors your website’s activity, can give you a failry accurate demographics report, since they do count signed in users to do this. The main chart gets a chart for the male/female distribution and below you have a report giving the age distribution divided by countries.

Playback Locations

The playback location is a fairly good indicator of why your views and earnings do not correlate, since many devices like the youtube app for iOS devices (or consoles like the Wii U) does not display ads. It is divided into

• Mobile devices
• YouTube watch page
• YouTube channel page
• Embedded player on other websites: This feature now has its own section, and details most of the websites embedding your videos, quite good if you have a single page compilation instead of looking at individual videos stats.

Traffic sources

Another section you simply cannot miss if you want to monitor where your visitors are coming from, most of the sources below have their own page displaying more focused statistics (even though they only list up to 25 results, maybe a premium version with unlimited results would be widely accepted amongst pro youtubers).

• Mobile apps and direct traffic (unknown sources): Views of unknown referrer on mobile apps and direct traffic on the YouTube watch and channel pages. Possible origins of direct traffic include email and instant messaging clients or copying and pasting a URL into the browser.
• YouTube suggested video: Views from thumbnails appearing on the side of the page of other videos or on the end screen of a video.
• YouTube search: Think of organic search keywords but for YouTube’s search engine only.
• Embedded player (unknown sources): Referring pages for videos embedded on other websites are unknown. See which sites are embedding your videos in the playback locations report for an individual video.
• Homepage feeds and subscriptions: Views from the various feeds on the YouTube homepage and subscription features
• Google search: Yes, your videos do receive visitors through regular Google searches. They offer you a brief list of keywords.
• YouTube – other features
• External website
• YouTube – other features: Includes YouTube video annotation and Spotlight (featured videos in the user’s youtube homepage)
• YouTube channel page
• YouTube advertising

Audience Retention

Estimated average minutes watched per view for the selected content, date range and region. You will notice that the most important data given is the average view duration percentage shown right next to the raw time number, the closer to 100%, the better.

Engagement Reports

Subscribers: One of the most used reports; shows subscribers lost, gained and the net change, it also displays a list of the videos that get you the most subscribers.

Likes and dislikes: Better used when you include both likes and dislikes in the same chart.

Favorites: This graph should always show mostly added favorite videos, if the amount of removed favorites is high, then there’s something seriously wrong with your videos.

Comments: These reports shows comment stats and the top 10 list of videos receiving most comments.

Sharing: Facebook and Twitter shares done from YouTube’s own sharing buttons get included on this report.

Annotations: This feature allows you to link from within your own videos to other videos or websites, or simply giving information snippets that can be quickly added. Both Click through rate stats (The percentage of clickable annotations that received clicks.) and Close Rate stats (The percentage of annotation impressions that were closed by the viewer.) are given

List of 3rd Party Tools to Track Your Youtube Channel Activity

The quickest ways to check your channel subscribers and views growth, including average and estimated earnings (the latter not accurate though) are using Socialblade and Vidstatsx YouTube tools. These tools also have their own ranking system, which is indeed quite good.

Socialbakers, Statsheep and Channelmeter work the same way, but always need to have the channel “searched” a first time in order to get it added to the database, so you won’t find stats from previous months.

None of the mentioned trackers have access to demographics information, or video engagement, they are mainly used to check if your account is growing or not, and of course, the only way of looking at other channels besides yours. Finally, remember that the views counter in your channel homepage gets frozen quite often, when such thing happens, the 3rd party tracked will show 0 views for that day.

Gaming Videos in YouTube & Adsense, Allowed or Not?

This is the most frequently asked question made by YouTube users that upload video game walkthroughs, after monetizing them through the regular Youtube partnership by using the Adsense Publisher Network. Monetizing videos this way is certainly not adviced for the long-term, the reasons are detailed below.

WHY YOUTUBE DOES NOT WANT ADSENSE AND GAMING VIDEOS LINKED TOGETHER.

YouTube allowed the creation of Partnerships and Networks mainly for one reason, they wanted to get rid of handling the copyright claims themselves and outsource them to third-party companies. This is why YouTube does not want ANY of its users making money of video game walkthroughs by using Adsense.

FALSE STATEMENTS COMMONLY READ IN FORUMS: You have surely read that you need some sort of written permission from the company that created the video game if you planning to monetize it. In theory, if you are using the recorded playthroughs for commercial purposes you should, however, most companies, if not all, are more than glad to receive free publicity from users [Notice that if you get into a partnership with a YouTube network, you will have that permission stuff sorted out right from the beginning, since it's the Network the one that handles copyright claims]. Getting your Adsense account banned from YouTube is not because you are recording walkthroughs, but because of click fraud made by the users themselves.

Now, if you still want to monetize gaming videos through a regular Adsense account linked to YouTube, then read what Google has to say about it.

THE OFFICIAL WORDS FROM YOUTUBE ON THE MATTER. Video Game and Software Content. It’s important to remark that it all comes down to the video game publisher and they handle content permissions. Our advice is, if you see that the video game belongs to a company that tends to report videos or that they are very rare within YouTube, simply stay away from recording and uploading, just stick to games that you know are from companies that have no trouble with them.

HOW YOUTUBE DEALS WITH VIDEO GAME VIDEOS NOWADAYS. If you have dozens of videos hosted with Adsense monetization, you will see them turned off ($ icon goes grey) automatically.
