Get rid of AdSense public service ads

As I promised in previous article I will talk about how to get rid of AdSense public service ads on your website. Here are few tips and pointers you should try to follow.

Introduction

First let me explain what public service ads are. These are the ads that Google place on your website if he doesn’t find any suitable ads that bind to your content. It’s all great but you don’t get paid if users click on them. So naturally you want to get rid of it and replace them with high paying ads.

Alternate URL

You can specify an alternate URL from Google’s AdSense account. Choose a website containing your ads instead of public service ads. Just design the ads on your page like Google ads and they will be shown instead. You can also use image ads.

Google Backfill

This service lets you select keywords relevant to your website and displays targeted ads instead of public service ads or your alternative URL. They’ll match your color and style and split the revenue 50/50. You can find it at www.allfeeds.com.

Google AdSensePlus

The easiest way is to use Google AdSensePlus that lets you change public service ads for ads to an URL of your choice or your product. You can see how it works at www.googleadsenseplus.com.

Blocking Ads

You can always block the ads you don’t want to show on your website. Google gives you 200 URLs to block. With this feature you can also block lower paying ads.

Advertise on this site

Finally there is one more way to influence on ads by keeping your “Advertise on this site” option on. You can do this in your AdSense account. This feature displays small text beneath your ads so your potential advertiser can click on it and sign for AdWords. You don’t get paid for click on this link, but you get advertiser’s ads on your website if he signs for AdWords.

When an advertiser clicks on the “Advertise on this site” link, they’re going to be redirected to Google’s page that contains information about AdSense and your website. Google lets you make three changes on this website:

You can add logo
You can set the color scheme
You can write your welcome message

If you edit your welcome message you can tell the advertisers what they should write to get the most clicks on their ads. You can even include your email and contact information and invite them to contact you directly. You can edit your landing page in you account under “My Account” tab on “Account settings” page. Just click on edit link near “Onsite Advertiser Sign-Up”. Landing site will be displayed the same every time advertiser clicks on link, so if you have more than one website in your AdSense account, you should design it to fit with all of yours websites.
