I’m going to be posting a video about this in coming few days as part of Google’s Adsense contest, but I wanted to mention it now as it’s got me really excited. Last week I switched on my computer for the first time in a few days to see I’d had my best ever day on Wednesday for Adsense earnings, then again Saturday I had my second best ever day.
The reason for this sudden and welcome increase in earnings? Well, there’s two reasons. Firstly I changed one of websites last week to go from using ASP to WordPress, meaning it was faster and all of the pages were search engine friendly. The main reason though was I changed my highest traffic website from having a dynamic ASP front page to being a static HTML page that I update every few days with the latest content.
This means that the page loads far quicker, increasing page views, ad views, clicks and of course earnings.
That’s one of the things I like about Adsense, as I’ll talk about in the video this coming week, you can increase your earnings dramatically with minor tweaks to your websites.
