9 Quick Tips For Building AdSense Compliant Websites

Google is always looking for niche content rich websites to implement their Google AdSense program. They display relevant ads on the content pages and pay the website owner every time a visitor clicks one of the ads.

For your website to be accepted, it must comply with Google's program policies. Here are 9 tips to help with the compliance:

1. Use the proper font, size, and color.

Go for a font such as Verdana, Arial, Tahoma or Georgia, as these view the best in most web browsers. Ensure that your font size is not too small, or too large to read. Ideally you should use a 10 or 12 sized font. It's best to stick with black or dark grey text on a white background for maximum contrast.

2. Make your pages easy to navigate.

Leave lots of white space and use links to help people easily find what they're looking for. The key word being "easy". Keep your site tidy and uncluttered. There's simply no need to fill every inch with advertisements. Don't try to reinvent the navigation wheel by using clever drop down menus or fancy flash bars. The simpler the better.

3. Use a universal design for each page

It used to be common practice to have different colors, fonts and designs throughout different parts of the site. However, this tends to confuse the reader and makes navigation difficult. Instead, keep the same common design, look, and feel across all your pages.

4. Content vs. Images

Never confuse eye-candy with content. Many site owners integrate as many graphics and images as they can on a page... only because they can. They argue that images capture their visitor�s attention, which is true, but they can also distract visitors from what you really want them to focus on, which is reading your content and clicking your links. Ask yourself: �Does this graphic help the reader understand my site or is it an unnecessary distraction?�

5. Test your pages for "load time"

Studies have shown that if your page takes more than 4 seconds to load, then you're rapidly going to lose visitors. Test your pages on a dial up network to ensure everyone who visits your site can view it in the quickest time possible. To decrease load time, try reducing the number of files per page, along with the size and quality of your images.

6. Use a professionally designed header graphic, logo, and/or template

While it's true that nothing beats great content, why not have great content AND an excellent design? I see too many sites that would have more readership if only they had a more
appealing look to them. After all, no one likes a dismal site.

7. Make it crystal clear what your site/page is about

Web surfers are highly impatient people, and if they arrive at your page and don't immediately know what it's about or how it will benefit them to stay, guess what... THEY WON'T STAY! In fact, they'll be clicking the "back" button quicker than they arrived unless you immediately capture their attention and spark their interest.

Best bet is to put all your important information, content, navigation links, etc. right up top where they're easily visible. You wouldn't want to waste your time looking for your desired information, so don't make your site visitors waste their time either. They'll appreciate you for it and will surely come back to visit time and again.

8. Protect your virtual real estate

It's a shame, but well-meaning Webmasters and Internet entrepreneurs are under attack from those looking to take advantage of a "technicality" for their own selfish gain at other people's expense. Don't let this happen to you! Always (and I mean ALWAYS) use a "legal disclaimer" such as a privacy policy on all your sites to protect yourself and your business.

9. Include "visitor-friendly" features throughout your site

Wanna hold people at your sites longer?.. Then provide them with an excellent "user experience" by implementing features such as:
* Language translation
* Automated search tools
* Web page personalization
* Navigation page / Sitemap
* Related niche videos

Bottom line: Put your visitors first and your income will reflect the effort!


To your good success,
