    Add Affiliate links for products that match your market. You will make more money.

    or was that just someone wishful thinking?

    You could always try if it works, just make sure to read AdSense TOS. You might also try with affiliate offers. Do some split testing, and see what performs the best.

    thanks Amir..... I am also thinking about amazon too. I guess the only way it to try and test and measure, see what works

    You are right. Try different monetizing techniques, different colors, titles, layouts, etc. Once you find what works best for you work on that. Just make sure you track everything.

    here is my suggestions
    1. obviously sign up for an adsense account
    2. search under plugins for "adsense" - install one of the plugins
    3. you should modify the adsense ad so the clickable title is the same font as all other links on your site (hopefully you can find the color hex code in your css file)
    4. test placement of an adsense block in each post (maybe top left or the middle )

    good luck.

    I can't see your website from work, but if it's a Wordpress site, try Quick Adsense or Author Advertising. Both of them work very well.

    thanks again

    I have used a wordpress plugin called easy adsense pro and it looks fine

    but the ads are not targeted towards my kind of reader

    is there any way to fine tune this bit of the process?

    writer party thanks for coming back to me

      Look up "section targeting" on google and use the codes that you find. I don't remember them off the top of my head, but they allow you to have the 'bots ignore your header, footer and sidebars and scan only your content for words to turn into ads. Also, go to your Adsense settings, and make sure the new user interface is on for this option. Go to Allow and Block Ads, then under Blocking Options go to Advanced Settings and shut off "interest based ads preference" and "third party ads preference". This will force Adsense to deliver ads using ONLY your content for inspiration, and in my experience, this gets you more relevant ads and more ad clicks.

    who has a product, plugin or report that can help me? does anyone offer a service to do this....... do we have a adsense guru in the house?

    Hey Carol,

    Great and calming site. I hope adsense works for you. It's all about testing what works.

    I guess you are following the footsteps of Juila Roberts in 'Eat, Work and Play'. She went to Italy for great food, found meditation and happiness in India and true love in Bali. I don't blame you and I think more and more of us are thinking about self discovering and the meaning of life.

    All the best!

    Ross
