Adsense is an ad service from Google through which you can place ads on your websites or blogs and make money from the clicks of visitors to your site.

Using Adsense is often left to your web developer but if you were just a blogger, you should know how to tweak with Google Adsense to generate maximum revenue.

Getting the Most Out of Adsense

Adsense has turned out to be one of the best internet earning programs for people who write blogs. It has been observed that Google Adsense ads placed in the right hand side are essential.

Those critical areas are just below the post title or to the left or right of the post content. Sometimes ads are placed below the posts are not particularly useful while the ads in the middle of the post normally hinder reading.

For placing the Adsense ads to the left or right of your posts, first you must generate the Adsense ad code from your Adsense account.

There are many options available with respect to size of the ad frame, text only, text and image ads, or image only ads and ad topics too. Select the format that is most suitable for you. Next, you must paste this code into the code of your web page in the appropriate position.
