I've never <em>tried<\/em> to become an Adsense guru, as I've always believed that earning a percentage of product sales as an affiliate was preferable to earning a percentage of a click on an Adsense ad. Too, I was worried that sending visitors away from the site through Adsense would decimate my product sales as an affiliate. Lastly, I didn't want to eat up too much site real estate by displaying a bunch of obvious ads.<\/p>\n<p>Well, my stance has changed completely. <strong>During December, my Adsense earnings increased by a whopping 512% over the previous month.<\/strong> As you will see in the screenshots included, November's earnings were <strong>$292.98<\/strong> while December was <strong>$1500.06<\/strong>. Page impressions,  Clicks,  Page CTR,  and Page eCPM all increased as well. <\/p>\n<p>The increase is particularly remarkable from the standpoint that I did <em>not<\/em> set out to increase my Adsense earnings. As a matter of fact&#8230; <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As part of a traffic quality test, I actually <em>suspended<\/em> a pay per click  campaign that had been delivering 2000 &#8211; 2500 clicks per day to <a href=\"http:\/\/sage-hearts.com\">Sage-Hearts.com<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>I also <em>removed<\/em> the Adsense ads displayed at the top of the pages at Sage-Hearts.com.<\/li>\n<li>Product sales during the period actually <em>increased<\/em> as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>So why did the earnings increase so much? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I simply sent a few more newsletters to my online dating newsletter subscriber list than usual!  <\/p>\n<p>Each newsletter contained links to one or more blog posts that were of interest to my visitors but that did <em>not<\/em> promote a product. After perusing the article, readers would then move through the site via the standard navigation to view product offers, or leave the site via the ads. I was making money either way!<\/p>\n<p>By displaying only one unit of Adsense ads, I was also earning more per click as Adsense ad values decline with each subsequent placement. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Lessons learned&#8230;<\/strong> The beauty of using Adsense to monetize your site &#8211; or a particular portion of your site &#8211; is that it should free you from the compulsion to promote a product every time you send a newsletter. <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, when your newsletter readers don't feel that they are being &#8216;pitched to' each time they hear from you; they'll trust you more, stay on your list longer and ultimately you will stand a better chance of making that sale when you <em>do<\/em> promote a product.<\/p>\n<p>As the old saying goes &#8211; The money is in the list. Build it big (with <a href=\"https:\/\/rosalindgardner.com\/blog\/aweber\"  target=\"new\">Aweber<\/a>) and then make the most of it through diversified monetization channels. <\/p>\n<p>Now that makes sense!
