WAHM Blog

The other day I mentioned that my Adsense earnings were up by 30% on this blog. I figured today would be a great day to tell you how I made more money from Adsense.

After I found another great way to increase Google performance, I had been thinking about ways to boost my Adsense earnings and created a plan to implement some changes and do a test run, right here on this blog.

If you have been reading the blog very long, you probably remember the Adsense ads used to have purple links. During my testing of my Adsense ads, I decided to change the link color for my 160×600 ad directly to your right to the teal/green color in the new logo. I also change the link color for the 468×60 ad that appears on the home page only to the same teal/green color.

I left the other adsense ad alone while I was testing out those changes and decided to leave the ad’s where I had them for now. I figured if I did not see a big change I could start to play with the position of the ad’s lateron. Within about 3 weeks of the link color change, I noticed a jump in clicks by 30%. That is a big difference for such a simple change.  I did not change the Adsense on any of my other sites, as I was going to use this blog as my test.

So either the color is more appealing to people now or the ad’s jump out a bit more at people. To be honest I care less what one it is, as it has increased my income and that was my goal. I’m still debating now on changing some ad sizes and possibally moving some of the ads around to see if that will help any as well.

I will be changing some color schemes on my other blogs this week as well to see if I will increase my Google Adsense earnings on those blogs as well.

I hope everyone has had a great week and been productive! I am sorry for my lack of communication this past week, as I have been working to restore the blog and working to get everything ready to move to the new server. I did lose a bit of data, but it is ok, as the entire blog was not lost! Thank goodness!

I want to send a huge thank you to Jarret from http://jarretcade.net/ for all of his help! Anyone who is looking for search engine optimization or blogging tips, check out his blog. It is loaded with great info!

For those of you participating in the 20 day 20 article challenge I hope you all are on the way to the goal of 20 articles! I have yet to even get started! With everything that has been going on, I have not had the time to sit and write. I have selected a few topics to write, just have not started yet.

On another note, I have a great Adsense month for September! As I am sure you all have noticed I changed the color scheme of a few of the Adsense ad’s and in just 3 weeks saw an incrediable 30% increase in clicks. I will go into further details soon as to how and why I decided t0 test different color schemes.

Week before last I did a post about my new Squidoo lens that was making money within a few weeks. Well that lens is still performing very well. So well that it has inspired me to start working on a few more lens. I am building a nursery baby bedding lens right now. It is not done but I did submit it to StumbleUpon already and SU is sending a nice amount of traffic to the new lens.

OK everyone, that is all for now. The blog should be on the new server tomorrow, so if you visit and see it down, it will be back up shortly. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Anything new with you?

Hello everyone,

I hope you all have had a great week! Sorry for no posts, as the blog had been hacked and I have been working to clean up the mess. I lost some posts and many comments left. So if you have left any comments and they are not here, they were deleted when I backed up the database.

I am working to get everything back in working order and will be back very soon!
