Hi Guys,

There seems to be a trend developing lately.

Some people are turning the whole “adsense website setup” arena on its head, and instead of focusing on what you should do to earn more income and how to avoid being banned by Google Adsense team, they point out what you shouldn’t do. Perhaps this is a better way to get certain points across?

OK, I’m game. Here’s my “top six” list of big mistakes people make, and a handy prescription for how to cure what ails your sickly adsense website.

6. Display Ads

Are your Adsense ads displayed as if you were at a car boot sale?

Prescription:

• Your display ads should be strategically displayed on your website and within the post, where they look like they are part of the post and website.
  

5. Keyword Research & Niche Selection

Your website is suffering from “robotitis,” an affliction characterized by boring, keyword stuffed content that serves only to fill the blank spots between AdSense ads. If you actually hope to make money, you need emergency attention, fast.

Prescription:

• The niche should be visual (image galleries play an important role) and viral videos.
  
• The niche should have wide-appeal and is a topic people will share on social media. This way there is a huge amount of traffic potential. 
  

4. Wrong Domain Name

Did you choose your domain name because it sounded better and has nothing to do with your niche? Can you brand your domain name?

Prescription:

• Choose a domain you can brand
  
• The domain name must be broad enough for you to brand and it can include your seed keyword.

Does your website have a cheap cluttered look and once your visitors get on the site they feel like lost sheep?

Prescription:

• You need a simple clean design which lets your content and ads stand out.
• Mobile Responsive: You want your visitors to have a great experience when they are browsing from their mobile and tablets. Plus Google has been pointing out how important this is.
