Increasing your Adsense income is a matter of testing your ad placements and increasing your traffic. It isn't something that happens overnight but it can happen over time. To make a decent amount of money with Google Adsense usually requires that you have a high paying keyword, have over 200 pages or more and have over 500 visitors a day to your website. While that may seem like to much to achieve, many are doing it easily.

Your Google Adsense income will depend on the main keywords for your website as well as learning to place the ads on your pages in places that have the highest Click Through Rate (CTR), the number of pages that you have, the number of ads that you have on a page and the amount of traffic that you get to your site. With this many variables it makes increasing adsense income a time consuming yet rewarding project.

Getting Traffic to your site to view the pages and the ads is a simple matter of writing high quality content (many pages of content) and getting back links to your site. Back links are just links that people put on their site to yours or you can do various things yourself to put your link on other people's sites like submitting your site to directories and writing articles for article directories. The more links you have, the better the search engines like you.
