[Must Read] How to Increase Adsense CPC – Simple Tips

Recently one of my reader asked a question about the CPC he receives for each click from adsense. He is getting around 0.01$ per click (yes, its very low). He asked me to check his blog for some suggestions. I found out the possible reasons for low CPC. In this post, let me explain simple tips on how to increase Adsense CPC.

Increase Adsense CPC

 

What is Adsense CPC?

CPC is ‘Cost Per Click’ in average. Let’s say, you get 0.02$ for one click and 1$ for another click, so your average CPC is (0.02$ + 1$ )/2 =  0.51$. CPC is a another factor in Adsense to decide the performance along with eCPM (Effective Cost Per Mile) and CTR (Click Through Rate).

You must try the possible methods to increase the CPC in Adsense to maximize the revenue. Increasing the CTR also will help, but when CPC is low with high CTR, still there will be less earnings.

For example, instead of getting 10 clicks at 0.02$ CPC ( 10 x 0.02$ = 0.2$), try to get 2 clicks at 0.50$ CPC which is 2 x 0.50$ = 1$, much better isn’t it?. So, your CTR is less ( 10 to 2), but final earning is much better ( 0.2$ to 1$) because of good CPC ( 0.02$ to 0.5$). I hope you got my point.

 

Let’s See How to Increase Adsense CPC

 

1) Concentrate on Keywords, niche and topic

Not all types on content shows the same types of ads. Advertisers pay(bid) more money on particular keywords which will pay good CPC. You must find out the high paying keywords for your blog topic and write about or include them in your blog posts. Google Adsense robots scan your content before display ads, if they find the valuable keywords and useful content, then Google will serve high quality ads.

How to find high paying keywords for Google Adsense

This doesn’t mean, you have to write only about high paying keywords. Getting search engine traffic to high paying keywords is very difficult since it will have more competition.

You write what you know and like to write, but keep in mind about high paying keywords and include them in few places.

Also, you have think about the potential advertisers and competition of the topic you write. Let’s say you are writing about free stuff, then you may possibly get less CPC, because none of the advertisers will pay high payout for free stuff which they can’t sell. Keep in mind!, each advertiser who is advertising though Google (Adwords) which display as Adsense ads in our blogs, need our visitors to their product page and convert them to sale, registration, or any action.

 

2) Enable Image and Text Ads.

Some people do not like image, Rich media ads in their blog posts, because they expect adsense ads to show like a link (text link). In my experience, image and multi media  ads works well in all the places. If you have Text only ads, make them to image and text. You can see the different in next two weeks. I experimented several times and several places, then decided image and text ads works well. Google highly recommends Image and Text ads.

Here are the few reasons,

  • Image ads are likely to be clicked (High CTR)
  • All famous advertisers and product owners like to show their brands and products as an image or rich media, so this might bring quality ads and good CPC.
  • Only one image ad can be shown at a time instead of showing 3 to 4 text ads. This may possibly a good CPC ad.
  • More advertisers will target your ad slots directly if you allow image and text ads though Adwords or Google Ad Planner.

 

3) Too many Ads – Less CPC

Are you using all three adsense ad blocks? if yes,is it balancing your each post content?. I recommend to use all three ad blocks if your blog posts are long enough to accommodate these slots and with valuable keywords available to feed Google adsense robots.

If your articles are too short and not having rich keywords, then Google will struggle to show relevant, high paying, and interested ads for the visitors. At the end, you get clicks but no earnings because of low paying, non relevant and some times public ads too.

 

4) Monitor your Higher CTR Ad with Custom Channels

Channels are very important here. This gives the clear idea of which Ad slot is performing well, measure CPC, eCPM , CTR and earnings of particular ad block. Create custom channels for each ad slot in your blog and monitor the performance for  two weeks.

How this helps in increasing Adsense CPC?

  • Remove the low performing Ad slot from your blog ( Decide by CTR and final earnings) for testing purpose. Now, Google may serve better ads to other two ad slots which is performing well, so your earnings will increase.
  • Go to Next point.

5) First Ad unit in HTML Code Serves better ads

You may have one ad in header and other one inside post content, which ad will load first in your blog page? Obviously  the ad in header, because that is at the first place in HTML code. Normally Google servers quality and high paying ads to first ad slot in a webpage, so in this example, it will be the header ad.

So, the next question is, is your header ad getting good CTR? here is the clash. When your ad block inside content is getting good clicks (higher CTR) than header ad, but still Google will server good ads in header. So you are wasting some of the possible clicks here.

To fix this issues, Google suggests to ad your important ad slot inside div tag, which is explained clearly in Google help page here. Adsense robots will serve highly quality ads to the block with div tag no matter where it is located in HTML code. Use div tag to the good performing block which you decided by custom channels in early step.

 

6) Reduce Accident, Fraud and Useless Clicks

Don’t think you can make good money by clicking your ads from different IPs, ask your friends to click and anything like it. Google is very smart to find out these types of clicks and they will ban your account. Also, just clicking ads and closing the advertisers’ page immediately will be notified to Google. Google is much concern about their advertisers also, if your all clicks work like that without any benefits to advertisers what they expect, then Google might put your website in lower place where low quality ads will be served.

In long term plan, make sure Adsense ads are look like advertisements in your website and your visitors are interested and clicking ads to visit advertisers page purposely. Do not blend too much with your theme and expect some accident clicks. You can’t survive with accident, fraud and quick browser closing clicks in long term with Google adsense. This definitely effects the CPC, when your blog visitors converted well by advertisers with quality clicks, then you may get quality high paying ads.

 

There are few more techniques available to increase Adsense CPC, I think it will be useful once your blog started generating good traffic. I will publish them later in this blog. Stay tuned.

Believe me, a blog or website need time to generate reasonable income from Adsense. It’s not easy, but very much possible. The reader on mine, who contacted me, is having one month old with good traffic and by average he get 4 clicks per day which is very impressive. But it will take some time to earn stable income with Adsense.

Here is the real example, when I look back one year ago exactly on March 2010, my monthly earning was 33.59$.

How to Increase Adsense CPC

Here is the current earning exactly after one year, around 550$ monthly with same single Blog.

How to Increase Adsense CPC

How I Did?

  • Keep producing content
  • Write for you and your readers
  • Generate good traffic from search engines
  • Don’t’ put all ads in one place
  • Don’t try all money making methods at a time
  • Experiment the ad positions and colors but don’t over do it again and again
  • Finally don’t motivate your self in blogging only for money.

Be a good bloggers to your readers, other bloggers and yourself – you can be a successful blogger in short time.

But i donot know how it came in affect of google sandbox … I think coz of blackhat seo methods which i used in the form of keyword stuffing and backlinking. Waiting for any suggesting if u have coz this is another prob young newbies are facing.. Thankyou ..

    Dinesh says

    Google’s sandbox effects most of the new websites, even I think my this DailyBlogMoney blog is still in sandbox, but I don’t worry. I keep on writing and I never worry about sandbox.
    Yes, initially it will be tough to blog without Google traffic or losing search engine traffic.
    But one day your site will be out of it, that time your earlier content will drive good traffic.
    Good luck.

    Glad to see the real working example.
    Ups and downs will be there in the earning always.
    Do not publicly tell your earnings with clicks which is against Google Adsense TOS.

    Good luck, happy blogging.

The Best Top Ten Data Recovery Software of 2016

PCs, Smartphones and other digital devices we use contain all our personal and important data. We cannot bare to lose our data, and to our luck, none of these devices are reliable. They can get damaged or might corrupt anytime, losing our important data in the process. Unfortunately, there is no tool to 100% make sure you will never lose the data. However, if you have lost some important data due to a corrupt system or accidental deletion, then you do have a chance to recover it.
When you accidentally delete data from your system or it gets deleted by any other reason, it is not actually deleted. Instead, it is marked as deleted and hidden from the OS to make it seem like deleted (it is easier to mark than actually delete it). With time, this invisible data gets rewritten when you add more data. This means, if you haven’t added any more data, then you can still recover it using a dedicated recovery tool.
To help you recover your deleted data, we have created this list of best data recovery software. Each software has its own unique features with different compatibilities and performance. You can try multiple tools mentioned here (in hopes of recovering), if one tool doesn’t gets the job done.
Note: With the below mentioned tools you will not be able to recover data from SSD. On a SSD, the data is deleted completely to ensure it is faster to rewrite data. So, you are out of luck if you have a SSD. However, If you are using a HDD you still have chances of getting your data recovered. (For recovering data from SSD, there are some expensive methods for which you can take help from Google.)

1. Recuva



Recuva is created by the software developers Piriform, who are also responsible for the popular CCleaner PC cleaning tool. Just like other products, you should also expect attractive interface with high quality. Recuva has a built-in wizard (optional) that guides you through the steps of recovery every time you want to recover data.
You don’t have to do anything, just answer the questions the wizard asks, like data type, area to scan and type of scan, etc. and Recuva will handle rest. Although, normal scan is enough, but you can also deep scan (takes more time) to further increase the possibility of recovering data. You can recover data such as, Pictures, audio (mp3) , documents, videos, compressed files and emails from any storage device Windows can read such as digital camera, Hard disk drive, etc.
Price: Free version (which is enough for data recovery) and a Paid version for $24.95 (advanced file recovery, virtual hard drive support, automatic updates, premium support).
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

2. Wise Data Recovery


Wise Data Recovery tool is not one of the most feature rich or customizable software. It comes with a clean interface with very few options to tweak. This might make it a bit limited, but for a quick job, this tool is perfect.
All you need to do is launch the tool and select the drive which you would like to scan (removable drives included). The software will quickly scan (very quick as compared to many) the drive and show you all the data that can be recovered such as deleted photos, documents, videos, emails etc. It also comes with a portable version to keep it with you all the time.
This tool is best for people who want a quick and simple tool to recover data, but it may not be able to recover all the data like other tools can.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

3. Free Undelete


Free Undelete is another easy to use data recovery tool similar to Wise Data Recovery. It doesn’t offer any advanced options to customize what type of data you are looking for, all you need to do is scan a drive (removable as well) and see the results.
After scanning, the tool will show all the files that can be recovered, and even show whole deleted folders. You can just open up folders to recover data from them or just recover everything with a single click. You can recover, Images, music, documents, videos, emails (from email clients) and compressed files.
Price: Free for personal use and Paid for Corporate use costing $69 and $103 for each version (offers guaranteed customer support).
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

4. Pandora Recovery




Pandora Recovery is a feature rich tool with tons of customization options and deep scanning capability. It doesn’t have as attractive interface as Recuva, but it is definitely more feature rich and hand holding, making it a light replacement to Recuva. It lets you recover FAT32 or NTFS file system. It also comes with a wizard to guide you through the process and let you choose how you want to scan.
You can scan a type of file, the whole drive or deep scan to look for all the files with most files recovered. You can connect other removable storage devices to scan them as well, and all scanning methods will apply to them. You will also find helping tips to understand what each button do as soon as you need to use them.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

5. Minitool Partition Recovery




This is a really amazing tool with very simple yet attractive interface. However, its free version is only limited to 1 GB of data recovery. After that, you will have to upgrade to a paid version. The tool is capable of recovering data from formatted, damaged and even deleted partitions with amazing results.
In our experience, the tool did an astounding job of recovering data from a simple drive. It recovered 5 times more files than the other tools mentioned here and divided all the files according to their extensions, making it extremely easy to find the required file. Although, it also took quite some time to scan the drive, but the results were pleasing.
It is a good tool for people who really need some deep scanning and don’t mind paying if they have to (keep 1 GB free data recovery in mind). It supports FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, NTFS and NTFS5 file systems.
Price: Free up to 1 GB, after that, paid versions may cost $69 and $89
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

6. Glary Undelete



Glary Undelete is a simple and lightweight tool with limited features just like some other tools in this list. However, it has some really good filtering options, which you can use to easily find the required files. You only have the option to scan a drive (removable as well) and it will be a quick scan, not a deep one.
You will be quickly presented with all the data that can be recovered categorized by their extensions. Here, you can filter your search according to size, time, state of recovery and file name. Glary Undelete supports Supports FAT, NTFS, NTFS + EFS file systems. It also lets recovery of compressed or encrypted files.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

7. UndeleteMyFiles Pro



UndeleteMyFiles Pro offers one of the most recovery features with some handy side features as well. You can separately search for media files or regular files, and if that’s not enough, you can also add filters to look for a specific file. For example, you can add filters to only search for specific file name, extension, size or attribute (like, hidden or read-only, etc.).
Apart from data recovery tools, you can also use “Files Wiper” tool to permanently delete a file or create a “Disk Image” to make sure no deleted files get overwritten by other data. The tool is also quite quick and scans deeply to recover all the files. We found almost twice more files as compared to some quick scan tools mentioned in this list.
Price: Free
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and Mac OS X

8. PC Inspector File Recovery



This is a bit advanced tool with very complex use, we will never recommend it to any novice user. It doesn’t have much of a attractive interface or tons of features. However, the tool will let you scan a drive deeply and choose which sectors to scan. A full deep scan of a 40 GB data drive may take more than 2 hours.
The results are also pleasing as the tool will find almost all files that are recoverable. You can also add file name/extension filter to make easier to find a specific file. If you are an advanced user and want to scan your PC deeply, then this PC Inspector File Recovery will do wonders. It supports the FAT 12/16/32 and NTFS file systems
Price: Free
Compatibility: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1

Data Recovery Tools for Smartphones (Android and iPhone)

Although, the above mentioned tools can scan and recover data on smartphones too when connected via USB, but they are not specially made for them. To recover smartphone data like, messages, logs and IM history, etc. you will need to use a separate tool. Check the tools below to recover Smartphone data.

9. Wondershare Dr.Fone

10. EaseUS MobiSaver


his is another great tool for recovering data from Android device or iPhone.
