Pat McCarthy has given an extensive blog post on 10 Ways to Increase Your Ad Revenue. I've dredged some of the 10 commandments, er 10 tips with some of my candid thoughts. Care to share your own?


1. Sell Targeted Ads


2. Work with Multiple Ad Networks
Did he mean this?

3. Try contextual, display, and standard text ads.

4. Test different ad locations
Split-testing can be tedious but it's always worth your time if you are really serious about earning from ads.

5. Change things often
Ad-blindness away! But not so often please that you might just turn off your regular visitors.


6. Work with different ad pricing models
Advance ad-driven sites earners are more well-adept with these but doing your homework will never hurt if you are to maximize the earning potential of your real estate (your sites and/or blogs), right?


7. Increase your traffic
I've read this from a Google forum and I just have to admit it. A site without a good amount of traffic is like a Ferrari without fuel.

8. Use your ad analytics
Hey, it's just like reviewing your notes before taking your exams!

9. Expand your ad sizes
Just like tip no. 4, test, test, and did I say that you should test!?


10. Ask for more money
Common sense should tell you that this is what everyone with a goal of attaining better ad revenue is actually aiming for. Or is that a redundancy?
