Daily digest of adsense questions, tips and experiences from popular adsense communities
I was just browsing through JenSense.com (which btw, is a great resource for serious Adsensers) and noticed some new changes Google is making to Adsense formats - round corner ad formats. There are crisply 3 options, namely square corners, slightly rounded corners and very rounded corners. See my screenshot below of the dropdown selection in setup.
You can see I haven’t come up with a dime of posts here at ADD since several weeks ago, sorry about that. I was constantly haunted by SE problems that many of my pages from another site were left to rot in Google’s supplemental index. The problem I think, would be best described as inadequate commitment to the quality of content and a weak attempt to absorb more traffic from SEs by the mere division of previously longer pages into shorter ones.
This has proven itself so WRONG and DETRIMENTAL that almost certainly WILL jeopardize the SERP of your site. Don’t you ever try to do that from my case. Just a test that has something to tell so both of us benefit.
There are no such thing as high paying keywords that you can borrow, only high paying websites that you can make.
Just now I came across this insightful discussion at WebmasterWorld about high paying keywords, which I believe, is a very good lesson every Adsense beginner should take a close peek. It’s live here as I’m writing this digest, http://www.webmasterworld.com/google_adsense/3380920.htm.
Updated: Added a few more tools.
It’s a good Adsenser to make good content, but it’s an excellent Adsenser who knows what content to make. Before getting down to serious work, you should always know what you are doing and whether you’ll be rewarded or not. Find the right niche. So give it a try to the following carefully selected keyword tools to advance to the next level.
This is of course presumed that you are blogging and making websites for the only sake of money. I have read several reports on page layouts that do good to Adsense earnings, here is a digest of what they are meant to be in essence.
Google Hot Trends was out in the middle of May, creating lots of buzz in the web community. Drop a visit here and get to know what people are searching on Google.
In place of the former Zeitgeist, GHT keeps a continuously updated list of top 100 search phrases by people from the U.S.(for now) daily, along with further stats on similar search phrases, trends chart, related web results and blog entries for each of them.
Summary: A blogger named Game_Producer at DP posted some very good points in gaining traffic. Within 3 - 5 months, he was able to promote his game business blog from 37 monthly visits to an astonishing 14,657 monthly unique visits. This thread here and his blog are well worth a read.

This is especially true for newbies. Stop worrying about CTR or eCPM any more. They have their own limits, but traffic, for crying out loud, has no limit at all! When you finally manage to work out the secrets of getting sustainable high quality(by high quality, I mean targeted traffic to targeted content) traffic to your site, sky’s the limit of your earning potential.
Without big traffic, it’s simply not worth it to spend so much time trying every petite techniques in hope of increasing your CTR or eCPM. Effects take longer time to be observed, and experiments on a small base of traffic tends to be agonizing, continuously bewildering you. You log in your Adsense control panel dozens of times a day, just praying for more than merely one or two clicks. Time is so precious yet you have spent so much of it on trivial things like this, letting them bothering you.
After a whole day sitting at my computer coding this small label(tag, or) based KB, it’s finally put online, Adsense Knowledge Base, and pretty much functioning as I have almost expected. 
Check it out here, or you may have already noticed the menu bar nailed up the middle.
With all the trivial questions, suggestions, experiments and even complaints I can really assemble up something interesting in it. Most of the articles are so concisely to the point that I doubt search engines are able to understand them. So you see, I’m just going to make them all short and sweet, ripped off most of the fluff.
It’s not first time many compaint about irrelevant ads on their webpages. For a dedicated blogger who writes for income must do things right at the very beginning to get relevant ads.

The best practices to increase CTR is not only blending alone but also standing out quite a bit.
Joel’s site makes this point crystal clear, http://www.askjoelcomm.com/. The leaderboard comes right upfront of the screen, yet Joel does a good job by implementing a prominent image directly under ‘Ads by Google’, which is very clever in that visitors are often distracted by larger visual element from its nearby smaller ones thereby neglecting the ‘Ads by Google’ text.
Updated: Added Google Hot Trends in the tools section.
Updated: Added a few more keyword tools.
More traffic simply means more revenue with Adsense. I haven’t been writing for long time but as I learn and experiment, things eventually come up for me a little. Here’s some thoughts I’m going to share with you and at the same time clear the mess up for myself. Thanks to those guys at DP, they are just lovely! Read the rest of this entry »
One of the March posts of webmasterworld forums revealed that some technical employee stealthly plug his own Adsense pub ID in on around 25% of the organization’s webpages. This really banged me to take caution upon my Adsense codes scattered within the entire site. And you should too.
If it’s someone else rather than you that’s creating and maintaining your website, it is a good idea to ensure the Adsense codes in all the pages are implemented with your pub ID.
CTR could just have been an everlasting issue for the vast majority of adsensers, especially those who are barely getting on the highway, among which I’m the centurion. -D Anyway, one guy at webmasterworld had some trouble figuring out why one of the ad placements underperformed the rest.

Adwords advertisers applies geo-targeting to get more relevant traffic for their campaigns. So for adsense publishers, visitors from different countries may very probably view different ads that are specifically targeted to their respective geographic locations. What if you are an adsense publisher from another country and want to find out what ads are being displayed to your American visitors?
First install the preview tool or you may have installed it but not very familiar with its options. Initiate the preview window by clicking on ‘Google Adsense Preview Tool’ from the contextual menu on whatever webpage that you want to preview ads about.
Updated: Added section ignore codes for Adsense.

Summary:
Some adsenser got banned from the program for some *friends* clicking on his ads excessively (might referring to click bombing, I think) and asked in the forum about the possibility and ways to be accepted back in.
