Adsense Tricks To Explode Your Profits
By Alli Ross
There are many tips floating around the internet. Here are some tricks that can drastically increase your CTR and your profits.

Lots of people say to make your ads blend in. However, some people are having a lot of success by making their links stand out. The most effective style seems to be having your links blue, while your other links are a less-noticeable color. A good example can be seen at www.lockergnome.com

- Place images directly above your ads. This simple technique has been known to increase CTR by 400%. To keep the images fresh some people randomize related images on their site
using PHP code. You can see an example of these images at

the website has shown to be clicked on more than any other
part of the page. You can see an example at lockergnome.com.

- One of the best things you can do is add additional pages
to your site. A web site with thousands of pages and tons of
content often does very well in the search engines. You can
