Although most people use Adsense to earn a bit of beer money every month there are some people that have take it to a whole new level and earn a full time income just from people clicking on their ads.

To get to the level where you are making thousands of dollars a month you need to invest time and energy, but if you follow these three simple and proven tips you can start down the path of earning a full time living from Google AdSense.

Read the rules: Yes, I know the terms of services are full of jargon but they contain extremely important information. Everyday you read about people complaining that their AdSense accounts have been shut down, and if you are making a full time living from it, that can be a huge threat to your lifestyle. Don’t get your account shut down because you asked your friends to click on the ads!

Make your ads not look like ads: You have to be careful on this one, but time and again split testing has shown that when your ads don’t look like ads and blend in with your content (same background colour, same link colour etc) more people will click on it. If you make your ads stand out and scream “I’m an ad”, guess what? Very few people click on it. However, you can only go so far and writing something like “Suggested Links” above the ad is a definite no-no!

Test, and test, oh, and test: Where’s the best place for the ads on your site? If you have two ads does it earn more than 3 ads? If you change the size, do you earn more? There are hundreds of variables that can increase (or limit) your earnings and unless you take the time to split test all the variables you could potentially be leaving hundreds of dollars on the table!

Using the Google AdSense programme is probably the easiest way to get setup and earning money online, if you want to get serious about earning money from it, take a note of the tips above to make sure you are maximizing your revenue.
