Welcome to AdSense Part 7, the stage every blogger looks forward to — monetizing your content strategically.

Once your site is approved by Google AdSense (Part 6), your next task is to optimize ad placement to earn the maximum possible revenue from every visitor.

Remember: AdSense earnings don’t depend only on traffic — they depend heavily on how and where you place your ads.

Let’s go step by step.

1. How AdSense Earnings Work

AdSense pays you based on:
💰 CPC (Cost Per Click) — how much advertisers pay per ad click.
📈 CTR (Click-Through Rate) — how often visitors click your ads.
👁️ Impressions — how many times ads are displayed.

Formula:

Earnings = CPC × Clicks

So, your goal is to increase both CPC and CTR through smart placement and content targeting.

2. Types of Google Ads

Before you start placing ads, understand the different ad types available:

🔹 1. Display Ads

Visual banners that appear on pages and sidebars.
Best for homepages and blog sidebars.

🔹 2. In-Article Ads

Ads that appear inside your post content.
High CTR — perfect for paragraphs 2–4.

🔹 3. In-Feed Ads

Blend with blog listings or category pages.

🔹 4. Anchor Ads

Stick to the top or bottom of mobile screens.
Great for mobile optimization.

🔹 5. Auto Ads

Google automatically chooses where to place ads.
Perfect for beginners.

3. Tools You Need

To make ad placement simple and efficient, install these two plugins:

  1. Ad Inserter — lets you manually control where ads appear (post, header, sidebar, etc.)
  2. Site Kit by Google — monitors AdSense revenue and performance

💡 You already installed these in Part 5, so now we’ll use them.

4. Best Ad Placements for High CTR

Let’s explore proven AdSense ad placement strategies used by top-earning bloggers.

🧭 A. Homepage

  • Add one Responsive Display Ad near the top (below the header)
  • Another ad in the sidebar (use “Ad Inserter” or “Widgets”)
  • Avoid placing too many ads — keep your layout clean

💡 Ads above the fold (visible without scrolling) perform 40–60% better.

📝 B. Blog Posts (Articles)

This is where you’ll make most of your income.
Follow this 3-ad rule per post for best performance and compliance:

  1. After Paragraph 1–2: Insert an In-Article Ad — high engagement zone
  2. Middle of Post (after 4–5 paragraphs): Add another In-Article Ad
  3. End of Post (before “Related Posts” or Comments): Add a Responsive Display Ad

💡 These three spots generate up to 80% of clicks for most bloggers.

📱 C. Mobile Optimization

Since 80%+ traffic is mobile, optimize for smaller screens.

Enable Auto Ads and Anchor Ads:

  1. In your AdSense Dashboard → Ads → Overview → By Site
  2. Toggle ON: Auto Ads and Anchor Ads

💡 Google automatically adjusts mobile ad size and position for you.

💻 D. Sidebar (Desktop Only)

Add one ad widget in the sidebar:

  1. Go to WordPress → Appearance → Widgets
  2. Drag a Custom HTML widget
  3. Paste your AdSense code there

Tip: Use a 300×250 or 336×280 ad size — these perform best on desktop.

📰 E. Between Posts (Blog Feed)

If you display multiple posts on your homepage or category page, you can show In-Feed Ads between post previews.

In AdSense:

  • Go to Ads → By Ad Unit → In-Feed Ad
  • Customize the layout
  • Paste the code in your post loop or widget

💡 Blended ads perform better than flashy ones — make them look natural.

5. High CPC Keyword Strategy

Even perfect ad placement won’t help if your content targets low-value keywords.

Focus on High CPC Niches like:
💰 Finance – “Life Insurance”, “Credit Cards”, “Loans”, “Investing”
💻 Technology – “Cloud Hosting”, “Software Development”
🎓 Education – “MBA Courses”, “Online Degrees”
⚖️ Legal – “Personal Injury Lawyers”, “University Lawsuits”

💡 Combine good ad placement with high CPC topics = maximum revenue.

6. Ad Density Rules (Avoid Overloading Ads)

Google’s policy:

“Ads should not exceed the content itself.”

So:
✅ 3–4 ads per 1000-word post
✅ Avoid ads inside headings or titles
✅ Don’t encourage users to click ads

Too many ads = slower site + lower approval chances.

7. Track Performance Using Google Site Kit

Open Site Kit → AdSense → Reports to track:

  • Top earning pages
  • Clicks per page
  • Estimated earnings

💡 Analyze which articles or positions earn the most, then focus your content strategy there.

8. Optimize for User Experience (UX)

Remember: AdSense rewards user-friendly websites.

Tips:

  • Keep fast loading time (under 3 seconds)
  • Use clean design and spacing
  • Don’t use popups overlapping ads
  • Avoid misleading ad placements

Better UX = longer session time = higher ad exposure = more earnings.

9. Experiment & Test (A/B Testing)

You can test ad performance by:

  • Changing ad sizes (e.g., 300×250 → 336×280)
  • Moving ad blocks up or down
  • Comparing auto vs manual placements

After 1–2 weeks, check results in AdSense → Optimization → Experiments.

10. Bonus Tip: Use Heatmap Tools

Try tools like:

  • Hotjar
  • Microsoft Clarity

These show you where users click and scroll most on your site — perfect for finding the best ad spots visually.
