The right spot for fixing if ads is really important in order to make use of the Google Adsense upto the fullest. What can be recommended to do is placing your ads in the very center of your website and above the fold (bottom of the page when it loads).

The reason why we suggest to place your AdSense ads in the center of your website is because this is where everybody first looks or views when they come to a new page. By putting your Adsense ad in the center, right in front of a viewers eyes will increase your CTR and that is why we shall highly suggest you to do the same  and position the ad in the center on your screen page.

3. Say No to Too Many Ads:

The maximum amount of AdSense ads you can have on your page is only 3 banner ads, 3 link ads and 2 search boxes per page. Now the mistake that people tend to think and make is that, people think they might fill in as much as ads possible in order to get higher probability of clicks. However, If you have any more than the mentioned number of ads, then Google will only show the maximum number of AdSense units for a while until they do not notice, and if and when they do figure out that you are showing too many AdSense ads, then they will suspend your entire Google Adsense account.

Though, It is really difficult to put more than the number mandated AdSense units on one single page but many bloggers tend to find out a way to do it.

Another reason why you should not put too many ads is the more ads you showcase on your page, the less professional it shall look. The advice we shall recommend is to keep it simple and sober and don’t use any more than three or more AdSense ad units on a single page of your website or blog. Hence, do not make this common mistake to place too many ads on your page or else you might lose your Google Adsense Account!

4. Usage of Ad Links:

Using of The google ad links is a great idea to. But the common mistake people commit is that they do not place it in the very right position where they can earn clicks. The main ad link is the 728X90 and it works great. This is the highest clicked ad unit that Google offers. What you need to understand is that the positioning of the link should be right, so when you would place this ad unit under the navigation bar, it perhaps might come out to look just like another navigation bar.

This just implies that the reader or viewers that shall visit your site or blog will assume it is part of your website or blog and therefore they will click on it more and you will indeed earn more clicks that you previously used to, just by positioning it at the apt place.

5. Asking For Clicks:

Never ask for clicks. We repeat never, as we told you that Google is the smartest thing in the entire world and we still ask you to believe in the same. It doesn’t matter if you are asking people you might know or completely different strangers, this is a completely bad and vicious way to gain clicks.

The reason why you should not be asking for clicks is because Google will eventually find out the patterning of the audience, there is usually a sense of pattern or some kind of connection to the person who is always clicking on your ads that google might easily trace and track.

The most common mistake people think they can earn is by spreading their sites and blog and asking people to click on ads. We recommend you to not waste your time with this act because it won’t last long before you get caught by Google.
