This post is a part of Make Money Online from Blogging course.

You register the adsense account, get the code and implement it to your blog. And now you waiting/expecting ‘big’ money to magically coming to your adsense account.

Whoa…what the hell are you think man? Adsense is not something that you can go put the code and just leaving it like that. You need to monitor and then optimize it until it’s give you the best result.

So today I want to share some basic adsense optimization that I use. Maybe some of you already know it but hey…nothing to lose to read it again. After all it’s free.

The first step that you need to take care is choosing the right color for your adsense. Adsense expert said, in order to increase the click, you must blend the ads until people will see it as not the ads but the part of your content.

So, how to make the ads not look like the ads? Hehehe…

The answers are choosing the right color. See two example below. This sample has been taken from two different blog that using Blogmas service. Now ask yourself, which ads that don’t look like ads? Blog 1 or Blog 2?

Change Background and Border Color

First, to make your ads don’t look like ads; change your adsense background and border to match your blog theme background. How?

Ok, if you are using free blog from blogmas.com, then login to your account and go to Manage –> Ads. When you create new ads, just change the background and border to match your blog theme. See picture below.

If you are using your own wordpress installation or blogger, change it in your Google adsense account, when your setup the ads. See picture below.

Change Title Color

Secondly, you need to change your title color to match your blog post title or your blog link.

Example, in moneyblogger.net, my post title color is lite blue which is the color code is #0066cc. So I change my adsense title to #0066cc to match my blog post title. See screenshot below.

Blogmas user can change it under menu called Manage –> Ads. See picture below.

Others can change it in your adsense account when you created new ads. See picture below.

Change Text and URL color

The last thing you need to do to make your ads not like ads is changing your ads text and URL to match your blog text.

Example, moneyblogger.net text color is black. So I change my ads text and URL color to match my text color. See picture below.

Blogmas user, to edit please see picture below.

Others, setup the color when you create new ads. See picture below.

OK, that all the tips I know how to choosing right color for your ads. If you have a better way or if there any mistake, let me know ok. I’m still learning.
