The key important thing is to write articles about which visitors could be interested. Sounds obvious, but, knowing this, the strategy then consists of choosing the right content, with the right words, corresponding to the keywords people look for in search engines.

There can be many different strategies : using words that are in the trend can drive a lot a trafic, but there is a lot of competition for them, and you won’t appear first in the search results. Using words that target a more narrow audience, or that are new, can be a good strategy for you to start : it’s like innovation.

Let’s see the different tools to help you in your earnings optimization.

Track Analytics with Google Analytics

Google Analytics is the leading platform to track your visitors, and view reports on your analytics :

After 10 articles, I got 1700 users per month. It’s time to monetize it.

Advertising with Google Adsense

Add advertising to your website with Google Adsense

Create an ad unit and add it to your website.

Add multiple add units to the page to optimize your revenues. I usually insert once at the beginning of the HTML layout :

<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

and at the end of the HTML layout as discussed here

<script>
  // (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
  [].forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('.adsbygoogle'), function(){
    (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
  });
</script>

Then, I can add the provided snippet

<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="XXX"
     data-ad-slot="YYY"
     data-ad-format="auto"></ins>

wherever I wand to place an add, in between the two previous snippets of code.

Add AdSense in your Google Analytics panel via AdSense Linking in Google Analytics in order to see AdSense metrics in Analytics reports, see earnings and ad impressions based on user visits and pages.
