INCREASE ADSENSE REVENUE ON HUBPAGES

The new year will be
here before you know
it. There's something
redeeming and
cleansing about the idea
of a new year. You can
"start fresh," resolve to
make this year better
than the last. Many
people resolve to lose
weight, make new
friends, read more
literature, save more
money. All noble goals
to strive for throughout
the new year.
But those are hard to
do. Here's an easier
resolution to keep:
Increase your ad
revenue from the
Amazon Affiliate
program on HubPages.
Here is a list of 5 simple
steps you can take to
improve your success
rate with Amazon
Affiliates. This will be
your year to make more
money through your
Amazon revenue
capsules! (Below this list
is a more detailed
explanation of each
piece of advice.)
1. Choose individual
products, not
keywords.
2. Research what's
popular.
3. Be smarter about
capsule
placement.
4. Take advantage
of HubPages'
rules.
5. Expand beyond
HubPages.

Personalized always
beats generalized.
Choose individual
products, not keywords.
Yes, simply typing in a
keyword into the
Amazon capsule and
accepting whatever
comes up is much easier
and less time-
consuming. But you get
what you put into it. If
you don't spend time
finding products
appropriate to your hub
and appealing to your
readers, your readers
won't spend the money
on the items that don't
cater to their interests.
And by extension, you
won't get the
percentage of their
purchase.
For example: Say that
you are writing a hub
on how to keep your
New Year's resolution to
exercise more. So, you
write your hub, and as
an afterthought, stick
on an Amazon capsule.
Your choices are to
search by keyword or
choose individual
products. You're in a
hurry to get your
awesome hub
published, so you just
type "new year's
resolution" and save the
capsule.
Here are the first four
Amazon results for
"new year's resolution":
1. Amelia's Must-
Keep
Resolutions for
the Best Year
Ever! - an
illustrated
children's book
2. This Next New
Year - another
children's book
about the
Chinese new year
3. New Year's
Resolution ( LP
Version ) - an
MP3 download by
Otis Redding
4. Relieving Your
Holiday Stress
and Achieving
Your New Year's
Resolutions - a
CD audio book
on relaxation
techniques for
the holidays
If you chose to read a
hub about keeping your
New Year's resolution,
would you buy or even
click on any of these
products?
Of course you wouldn't.
Instead, choose
products that are more
suited to the needs of
someone who would be
reading your hub. To
continue my example,
choose a combination
of exercise videos and
equipment with books
on motivating yourself
as your Amazon
products.
