Yes, I know. Too many people have been talking about AdSense lately that it's no big deal anymore. I used to think so too. But I'm starting to change my mind and re-think that attitude 
...
Yesterday, Suzie Dewey, who is an AdSense Publisher, posted a very interesting and very informative interview on one of Google's blogs. The interview was with a guy called Ivan Heneghan, who is a well-known AdSense Optimization specialist.
This interview covers many simple ways to increase the revenue you earn from you AdSense advertisement almost 70-fold. I know it sounds crazy, but remember, this is stated by a very accomplished specialist, reviewed by a member of the AdSense Publishing Support Staff, and is featured on an official Google blog. This is respectable, verifiable information .
Here's a link to that interview: Meet Ivan, the Optimiser!
I hope you enjoy it and make use of it.

Here are two great Websites that tell almost everything about AdSense in great detail. The first Website is actually easier and more user-friendly, but the second one is for the more technically-inclined. I hope you find them useful. Good luck, everyone!
1- AdSense and SBIX
2- Facts About AdSense

EDIT: 
Is the subject really THAT uninteresting? I thought there would be some lively discussion about it.
Well, I suppose I'm proved mistaken once more. Eh!

Im a bit confused, so the article is saying that if you add banners to your site, your adsense revenue will start sky rocketing??? If that was so, everyone would be doing that would't they?? Fill me in plzz | Animal wrote: |

Actually, as long as it is a reply that tells me how to do things right, then it is the reply I'm looking for. Thanks, Animal; I seriously didn't mean to do that just to earn points.
Perhaps you could merge the two posts and deduct the points?
Thanks a lot .Hello everyone,
Ok, here's an update to this thread ...
Google has just published another case-study for their AdSense program. This time, it's about GPSWorld.com, which is a Website for GPS (global positioning satellite) users ranging from the military to consumers who are outdoors enthusiasts. The site averages 430,000 page views and approximately 115,000 unique visitors per month. Yes, it IS a big company .
So now, Troy Peterson, Web Operations Manager of GPSWorld.com, announces that the company experienced a 100% increase in their AdSense ad revenue by simply optimizing the placement and format changes of AdSense's ad units and boxes.
My point here is: perhaps Ivan (take a look at the first post in the thread) was exaggarating. But his methods are valid and they work. It'd be a bad idea if we let the exaggaration stop us from realizing that and putting it to our own advantage .
Anyway, for those of you who are interested, here's a link to the GPSWorld.com's case-study: Spotlight on GPSWorld.com! Yeah but the problem is, people will click one of those ads and realize that it's BS...and never click them again 
. UPDATE:
Hello again, everyone ...
We've been talking about how ad-placement can noticably affect your Google AdSense revenue -- both in a good way and in a bad way.
This time, here's what one guy did to his personal Website, and how it affected his Google AdSense revenue...
Thomas Zehetner is a german fellow who has his own 'technology news' portal, PCFreunde.de . This has been only a "hobby" Website; Thomas used to do it merely because it's fun for him. But when he heard about Google AdSense, he decided to give it a try. There were actually some results, but nothing as spectacular as he would've hoped for.
So he decided to changed his ad-placement from the side of his pages and "into the content." Now, this is important. Remember when we talked about GPSWorld.com? This wasn't a "content" Website; it was corporate. Their content was only interesting for people for are actually looking for a certain product with a purchase in mind.
But Thomas' Website is different. It IS a content Website. His visitors come back to his Website because he provides information they'd like to know and stay up-to-date on it. So you see, when people visit his Website, they "focus" on the content. They don't want to be distracted by looking at Sidebars, Top-Banners, or any of that. Their eyes are riveted to the content itself, and the content alone.
So when Thomas placed the AdSense ads INSIDE his content, what happened to AdSense's revenue? Well, it tripled. Yup, that's right... three times more.
So what's the lesson we can learn from this? Simple, really. Content Websites have much, much better chances of promoting anything they want to as long as they make sure it shows IN the content itself. Of course, that requires that you first offer great content with amazing value so that people actually WANT to go to your Website constantly to read it.
All the best, There's a great polish book "Sekrety Google Ad-sense" and polish site - http://adsense.secret4u.net/ - check this out Speaking of Google Adsense, I just got screwed out of roughly $35 because apparently, too many people from my college were clicking on the ads and they said that it was all from the same machine/IP/Gateway.
The most important thing in Ad-Sense is to type the right keywords in meta tags and have good content of the site
Why cant we like, you know, ask users from different forums across the net to click on our ads..
Like link exchange we can click exchange .
So that wil imply clicks from all over the world..
And each user can click the ad of somebody else a few times a week only. So you can get clicks and revenue as well
these are quite good ideas man, im gonna think about joining thesed programs might come out helpful in the near future, who knows!! lol
