Common Adsense Mistakes (Don't s)

We all are thinking about making money with adsense, but should be aware of mistakes we may have during our implementations; Here goes some of the most important mistakes with Adsense design:

Mistake #1
Don't be an MFA site! MFA stands for "Made for AdSense". You don't want ANY search engine forced into judging whether or not yours is an MFA site! If Google or any other engine thinks your site's main purpose is to generate AdSense income without providing good content, you are toast; all your efforts will be wasted as your site is stuck on page 47, or worse, of the search engine results. Do not get me wrong. We are of course making sites for AdSense income. However, the search engines EXPECT quality content on those sites. Otherwise, they are considered MFA.

Here's what I suggest: Don't put AdSense ads on your page until itis getting at least some traffic from the search engines (be sureto have analytics installed to watch for search engine traffic orcheck your host's statistics). Fill your site with plenty oforiginal content for the search engines to see and index beforeputting the AdSense on. Some search engines are rumored to frown upon brand new sites with AdSense. You want to make a good first impression!

Mistake #2
The second big mistake beginners make is to fill every page withevery single ad and link unit Google allows. Don't make your pagelook like you are "begging" for someone to click. Believe it ornot, from all I have read and my own testing, less is more in thiscase. There are several reasons for this. However, in this shortpage I won't go into all the details. If you don't believe me, testit yourself. You will find that one or two, well placed ad groups, on a pagewill usually do better than three or four groups and units combined. By the way, failing to test is really a huge mistake which almost every beginner makes.

Mistake #3
This is more a failure than a mistake. Most beginners FAIL to consider traffic. Simply creating a site with AdSense Ads is not enough. How will the site get traffic? No traffic means no clicks! The secret to getting free traffic is: Knowing which niches to promote and which to stay away from.

The ability to pick and choose the correct keywords (this is a biggie) Knowing how to get pages ranking well in Google and Yahoo.
