Now that your site has been listed in Google you may want to improve your sites rank.
These suggestions can easily apply to other search engines (Yahoo!, MSN, AOL, ASK ect.) as these are basic
Quality Unique Content
The most important thing you can do is provide a reason for people to visit and return to your site (and even beter link to your site from their site!). To have this happen naturally it’s very important you provide unique quality content on your pages. I could never stress how important this is. If you don’t stand out and get noticed then you will get no where. When you are building your pages build them for your visitors with information rich content that you write out in text. It’s best to use text instead of images to display important names, content, or links ect. The more you give a complete discription of your page content, giving special attention to including the information you would use to search and find this information, the easier it will be for someone to find your website.
Natural Links
There is nothing more valuable to you than someone linking to your site with out any promting from you. Natural links show someone found your content valuable and useful enough to link to it so others can do the same. This ads value to your site in Google eyes and will improve your rank. Google can tell the differance between Natural and Unatural link (Paid links, link schemes, doorway pages ect) which are not acceptable practices and will actually take away forom your rank. Also, if the links are sites with the same or similiar topic asr your site gives it a little more weight in your favor. :o)
Your Domains Front Page
Use your front page to your advantage. Usually this page is the highest rank page, visited more often by the crawlers, as well as the most link to by others. You need to provide as much information about your site as possible on this page. Make sure to be honest and clear. Make it easier for your visitors to get to popular pages for this front page by providing an organized clear menu to your sites sub pages
Use your TITLE and ALT tags
Make sure that your TITLE tags and ALT attributes are complete, descriptive and accurate. The Title tag should be used at all times. It is so important. Use this title to attract visitors. The Google crawler doesn’t recognize text contained in images so using ALT tags will help the bot know what your image is. Images hold a bit of value themselves if acurately ranked
Search Engine Optimization
Don’t feel you have to hire someone to improve your rakings you can do this yourself with some simple tecniques. If you do hire someone be warned there are some techiques that are used by some SEO consultants that Google may not approve and of coarse NO company or individual can garantee you a #1 ranking and any one who does is trying to scam you. It’s worth the time either wat to do a little research and see what oyu can do to step by step to making your page more search engine friendly

SEO is an acronym that stands for Search Engine Optimization. Search Engine Optimization is various techniques used to improve the ranking of a website in search engines listings.
SEO can also be considered as a subset of internet marketing as it provides a valuable service for your business. Search Engines provide new targeted customers who are looking for you and are ready to buy.
Creating a new industry, many coperations as well as small business websites tend to hire SEO consultants who undertake optimization projects on behalf of clients’ sites. But so much of it is pretty straight forward stuff that you can do it yourself.

If you are really wanting to make money with Google AdSense I think there are a few things that are important for you know or do.
Of coarse as always these suggestions are only my opinion. Please make sure you test what works best for your site . I can only tell you what is working for me take ‘m or leave ‘m but I tell you this same info made a big difference with my online income increasing.
- First off the most important thing I can recommend is to read Google Adsense’s Terms of Service. This is an agreement made between you and Adsense when you joined. It tells you a lot of information on what you can and can’t do while the ads appear on your pages. Not only do I suggest reading it once I suggest reading it so many times you could recite it by heart. It’s that important. Breaking Google’s rules can get you banned for life and nothing is worth that!
- Never EVER click your ads There is NO reason that its ever ok to click your own ad. There are always other options!
- Certainly don’t ask others to click your ads. I found out that the clicks will happen naturally.
- Play around with your ads colors.
- Try blending your ads background with your pages background color Remove ad border I.E. Blend border color with your background too.
- Use the same text colors that you have within your page. Maybe a slightly darker or bolder color for the Subject.. maybe your pages content links color.. color coordination is very valuable.
- Although many have found the border improves their CTR as well as making ads stand out more different colors than the page. Try. Test. Try. test
- Text is your best friend. Use it as much as you can. I could never begin to stress this enough. Google AdSense ads are created by the text found on your page as well as search engines use text to include you in searches.
- Use your META Tags. Be descriptive about your page in your title tag. Use Meta tag for keywords and pick out the best keywords from your page Use descriptive alt tags for images.
- Keep adding the code to more and more pages in visible spots. Don’t be shy with them. Higher in the page and close to content is best.
- Don’t talk with others (friends,family ect) about your ads or that you are or not making any money with it ect.
