Pay attention to the Adsense reports to find out which ads are being clicked on the most and the least. Using channels will let you know exactly in the report which ads are your best performers and which are your worst performer. You will notice location to be an important factor in which ads are clicked on, but design also plays a part. Make adjustments by experimenting with various setups until you find the optimal location and design for ads that give you the best results.

Make sure you set up a seperate channel for each site, each page, or even each ad you use so that you know exactly what is working, why it is working, and where it is working. Take what you learn and apply it elsewhere. Always experiment with changing locations, colors, and ad sizes till you get the stream of Adsense dollars that is being maximized. Remember, add more quality content to give visitors a better experience and to attract more visitors. Content is the most important thing you can do to increase your Adsense earnings.
