How to Increase Your CTR
1. Find the best placement for the ad blocks on your site. If your website is informational, ads placed at the end of your content will perform very well. If your website is transactional (for instance, if your it provides product reviews to potential consumers), ads will work better when placed at the top of your site. Each website is different, so experiment and track your results to find the optimal balance for your site.
2. Reduce clutter on the page, particularly around the header. Streamlined, uncluttered pages statistically produce a dramatically higher CTR. Make navigation and important pages easy for visitors to access, but avoid the urge to add non-essential elements which are not central to your site's function or message.
3. Left-align your ad blocks. Website viewers process information from left to right, so placing your ads on the left will increase their visibility and perceived importance to visitors.
4. Try both text-based and image-based ads on your website to find which yields a better CTR. Avoid ad options which offer a mixture of text and images. Research shows that some websites perform better with text ads, and some with images. But very few websites achieve an optimal CTR by mixing the two.
5. Increase the width of your ad blocks. Wider ad blocks are more readable and easier for visitors to process.
6. Try both blended and contrasted color themes for your ad blocks. Some websites perform better when ad blocks stand out against the content, while others do better with ads that blend seamlessly into the text. Track your CTR for both a blended and contrasting approach to determine the best fit for your site.

How to Sell Internet Advertising on Your Website
1. Determine whether you want to sell advertising through a network or on your own. Beginners should consider an ad network such as Google AdSense or Text-Link-Ads while getting established and developing a readership. Larger, established websites can have good success selling ads directly. Decide how many ads you want and where you will place them. You want high visibility with minimal impact to the reader.
2. Create a PayPal account. Nearly all ad networks pay revenue through this service. If you sell your own ads, your vendors can pay you this way as well.
3. Create an account with an ad network. This ad network will give you instructions on how to place their ads on your site and will request your PayPal e-mail address so they can deposit revenue.
4. Create spaces for the ads on your website and put ads in those spaces. Even big sites will benefit from placeholder ad network ads, as these allow potential advertisers to see how their own piece will look. If you do not want to sell your own ads, this is all you need to do.
5. Determine how much you will charge for your ads. Consider the size of your blog, your niche audience and the amount of traffic you receive. Look at competitor's websites and find out how much they charge for their ads. Price yours similarly.
6. Create an 'Advertise' page on your site or a 'Contact Me' link for potential advertisers to inquire about your rates and subscribe to advertising.
7. If you like, contact potential advertisers to sell them ads. You will need to present your website and its audience, describe your traffic flow and list your rates in three to five paragraphs.

10 Quick Steps to Making the Perfect Google AdSense
Ad Placement
In order to get the most out of your ads, place them strategically. Ask yourself these questions: Where is the user's attention likely to be focused? How can I integrate ads into this area without getting in the user's way? What can I do to keep this page looking clean, inviting and uncluttered? What is the user trying to accomplish by visiting my site? Once you have the answers to these questions, you will be able to place your ads accordingly.
Know Your Limit
Placing too many ads can create problems. If your website or blog is cluttered with commercial ads, the user may feel uncomfortable on your site and not return. If you can't sufficiently integrate and blend an ad onto your website, don't include it. If you push too hard, your audience will know.
Site Type Matters
Heavy website traffic does not necessarily mean more ad revenue. AdSense income is based more on your site type and audience. Google creates AdSense ads on your website based on your content, and some content generates more income than others. AdSense does better on a gaming site than it does a technology site.
Types of Ads
The Google AdSense program allows you to chose between text ads or text and image ads. From your choice, Google strives to deliver ads best suited for your website. However, Google doesn't know your layout preferences or understand what your audience might find too irrelevant. If childish flash animation ads don't fit the content or focus of your website, remove them.
Start Immediately
Initiate your AdSense ads early on, even during development phases of your website. You never know when that first burst of traffic will happen, and it would be a shame to lose that revenue.
Know Your Keywords
Do your research and know your keywords. If your keyword is just one word, it's going to be quite difficult for you to accumulate a high amount of traffic. Choose keyword phrases with two to five words. By attaching descriptive and all-encompassing keywords, your audience will be able to find your work easier.
Blend Ads
Give your ads a natural feel by constructing them with the ability to blend. Make foreground colors and background colors match. By blending these colors, it negates the artificial feel of an ad's placement within a website, and, in turn, you will receive higher click ratios.
Mobile Google Adsense
Mobile phones are becoming a steady way for users to access the Internet, so mobilize your website or blog by converting it into a basic format accessible by mobile phones at a much quicker speed.
Attract Traffic
Try a variety of different techniques to generate traffic to your website. Send weekly or monthly emails containing links to your website. Use other websites to promote your links, and place links to your website or blog in all of your personal profiles. Experiment with a variety of offline and online marketing strategies, such as business cards.
Choose Hot Topics
Google AdSense generates roughly 15 cents for each click. The more visitors, the better. Find what topics are hot for the day and write about them or tie them into your website. Don't limit yourself to a narrow topic; find one that would be interesting to most of the online world.
