You got your website, you got your AdSense account, you haveupdated and published your new pages with AdSense code all overit and you are starting to see a little bit of money tricklingthrough - and it is not what you were expecting!Like you, I thought I would be rolling in the AdSense money sofast that I already had my resignation letter printed andsigned. ...

...That did not happen (yet). Well, that does not mean Ihave to throw that letter away, I will just have to backdate itfor when I can do it.When you are faced with this predicament, which I think everyonewill come to at some point; you will need to separate yourselffrom the AdSense pack! You will have to transform yourself intoan AdSense scientist and experiment with your website to get thebest results possible! You might try some of the following:Let's say that you are getting ...
...decent traffic to your website,so therefore you are getting a lot of AdSense impressions, butwith little or no clicks. The symptoms could be related to alack of relevancy with the AdSense ads. Go to your website andview, but DO NOT click on, your AdSense ads. Now, imagine youare one of your visitors to your website; do the ads seemrelevant to your site? If you think there is a relevancyproblem, you can do two things to combat it:Look for a common thread among the AdSense ads and see if thereis a term in your keywords or content that relates to it. If so,you might want to change the words to eliminate the connection.Look at the web addresses at the bottom of the AdSense ads, youmight consider blocking those web sites from your AdSenseaccount, by doing this you will eliminate that ad from showingup again, but realize that you may get a similar ad to take itsplace.Create more pages and add more content that is relevant. Makeyour website stickier. Make the visitor want to stay on yoursite longer.Try not to think of AdSense first when putting your contenttogether, think of your visitors and giving them somethingworthwhile, the AdSense stuff should just be a bonus, that iswhy it is considered passive income, it means you are notsupposed to think about it! Make sure you have positioned the ads well, do not hide them, donot be ashamed of them, you got them there for a reason!Ensure that your site is well optimized - that everything itpointing to one thing - your targeted subject matter.The problem could be that your keywords are just not that"lucrative", get yourself a listing of top paying keywords toensure that you are using appropriate keywords that will bringin more money per click.If you are consistently making a couple of bucks, a day or aweek then replicate it. Create other web sites on differenttopics, different keywords. Make a couple of bucks a day or weekwith that one, and then continue to make another and another.Compound your efforts until you are making the kind of money youwant to make.Look for ways to increase traffic to your site, but keep ittargeted and keep it relevant for your visitors and for yourAdSense ads.Make sure that the pages within your website are well linked;there is nothing more frustrating then not knowing where to goor where you came from.Open a Google AdWords account and run ads to direct traffic toyour site. Make sure that the margin between what you arespending on AdWords and what you are making on AdSense issignificant enough to make this worthwhile. The great thingabout traffic from your AdWords is that the visitor has shown atendency to click on these ads already; they have pre-qualifiedthemselves to do it on your site. You will hope that they willrepeat their efforts on your site.That is it, do whatever strategy you can to work your AdSense tothe bone! Make sure you do things legitimately, don't scam yourvisitors or manipulate them to make a few dollars with AdSenseor any related program, the internet society has grown far toosophisticated to fall for anything like that, your site will beignored and forgotten. Therefore, be a professional, treat yourwebsite like a business, and give your customers somethingrelevant - then as an added bonus your AdSense ads will workwith you.
