Probably the best money maker at this moment is Google Adsense.

Google AdSense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website – with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.

AdSense delivers relevant text and image ads that are precisely targeted to your site and your site content. And when you add a Google search box to your site, AdSense delivers relevant text ads that are targeted to the Google search results pages generated by your visitors’ search request.

There are a lot of websites out there that sell a list of the best paying keywords and other stuff like that.
Don’t ever buy one.

If you want to succeed with Google AdSense you need to do the following:

• Create an ad and make sure it’s colors blend in nicely with your current site theme.
• Try to make your visitors see the ad (read below).
• Write at your best to make your visitors come back.

If I create a Google AdSense ad for Sava dot name I would place it at the top of the sidebar, make the ads background the same as the sidebar background and the ad color would be white.

To make the visitors see the ad you need a little jQuery magic. Take a look at my other blog ( Sava’s Place » Blog ).

As you can see there are 2 adsense ads above the fold which load 1 second after the other. Placing that loading animation and the content going down to make room for the ad will surely catch the eye.
Did it catch yours ?

Make sure you also use AdSense for Search and Referrals.

To make things a lot easier add URL channels.

This way you can track things easier. You can add a page from your blog as a channel and track the performance of that single post.
You can add up to 150 URL channels and I think it’s more than enough.
