Increase Adsense Clicks by Showing Ads at Your desired Category Only

The probability of you Google Adsense Ads to be clicked is high when the ads being shown with your article is related with each other. So since the Google Adsense CPC or Cost per Click is becoming low nowadays I am trying to do a way wherein I could increase the clicks of my visitors but not to bother the regular visitors who are keep on coming back for information in my blog. So here are the steps I did in order to make my Adsense income more than before 🙂 Hey I still keep on experimenting and I believe this one is worth sharing :

Below you can find the instructions and details about my changes.

Beware : Before doing anything else with your PHP Codes try to back up first your codes { A simple Ctrl A + Ctrl V in the notepad wil do , Better Be Safe than sorry ]

1. We need to instruct Google Adsense Bot or crawlers on which part should they crawl in our content. And which contents needs to be restricted to the crawler , In my case, since I have mixed content I tried to block Google Adsense crawler in my Header , Sidebar and Footer .. Well I made this one before and blog about it [  Instruct Adsense Crawlers – This is for the benefit of new users ] , This will be more applicable with personal blogs in order to show relevant ads in your post.
2. I need to hide some post in the home page and put it into one category where I can control if I like to show it in the front page or not .. I also blog about it here before [ Check My Post about No Hidden Post ]
3. Now try to make a new format of Adsense Codes and make sure to properly mark the channel name so that you will be able to track it’s improvement. Remember that tracking is the best way to increase your adsense income.
4. Identify the category number of that category that you would like to hide from the home page. [ Go to Dashboard > Links ] right click the category and it will give you a number .
5. After your identification of the category, make a conditional tags in the single page.php where in you will tell your site to run the Adsense ads if the category of the post that will be shown refers to the category that you hide fro the homepage. Here is the syntax of the php code you need to put before the title of your post.
<?php if (in_category(‘X’)) { ?><br /> Google Adsense Codes <?php } ?>

Replace X with the category number and replace “Google Adsense Codes” with the codes that youw will get from Adsense , As an additional tip use the bigger sizes of Square Ads.

6. This trick will show intrusive Google Adsense ads to those visitors that usually come from the search engine looking for information.
7. Of course do some ( SEO ) optimization of your post in order to have visitors from the Search Engines . See my SEO Keywords at the side bar under “My other Thoughts” , hey the keywords is free and is already being hijacked by other Pinoy SEO Bloggers 🙂 why don’t you join us and let’s collaborate ..I believe that blogging is a joint effort and all of us should help each other in order to gain more money in this hobby 🙂 .

I am a doing more tweaking and experiments, if you are one of my contant site visitors you might notice some change in my local search results 🙂 .. ooppsss that will be the next blog post topic.. so watch out for it for the mean time try to see if you find something different in my local search results 🙂
