Step 1
The first issue to address, even before placing ads, is the content of your site. Your content, including the use of keywords, will determine the types of ads displayed on your site. Therefore, the more keyword-rich content you create, the more targeted your ads will be. Targeted ads are key to getting clicks, as visitors to your site will be interested in related information.

Step 2
Once you have created quality content, you can then place your ads. Doing so before having substantial content can delay quality links displayed on your site.

Step 3
Keep your site updated by adding new information regularly. This is especially important for the front page of a website. Returning visitors will not return again if you have the same information being used on your homepage. Updating of the homepage should be done no less than every few days.

Step 4
Placement of AdSense ads is another very important factor. Placing ads too prominently can cause visitors to leave as fast as they came. This is because so many sites have been created strictly for AdSense earnings and has caused many to avoid these types of sites. On the other hand, they can't be buried either, or it will be impossible to get clicks. The key is to test your site over a period of time to find a layout that works well. This is done by placing ads in different places and tracking the results. A good option is to test placement for every 100 visitors, not a set amount of time.
-
Step 5
The color choices of your ads are also an major consideration. Use colors that blend well with your site. The more your ads appear to be 'part of your site' the better results you will see.
