Yes, there's no doubt about it, without traffic, your efforts are in vain. Simply pasting your adsense code into a generic looking web site will have little effect.
More importantly, targeted visitors are your focus. While you may have considered frauding the Adsense program for a quick buck by using clickbots, rotating IP's, etc, this short sighted strategy will have you banned long before your first check is issued.
Many Adsense Ebooks attempt to show methods of generating traffic, as do Adsense forums. While these can frequently be a great source of information, it's important to ask yourself a single question: If you had stumbled upon a great revenue generating concept, would you share your tricks and secrets with the world?
So then, where does that leave one? There's always Videos, and assorted other tools such as Adsense Tracker, adsense gold, and more.
Your best bet at generating traffic is through a steady and determined effort of building quality websites, and finding quality linking partners.

Payper Clicks Returns
There is no doubting the success of Google's Adsense program. Even Yahoo! and Kanoodle have joined in on the game, offering to join publishers with advertisers. Given the right circumstances, its a win / win situation for both.
There have been many sites that promote Top Paying Keywords and how if you add these keywords you can instantly improve your Adsense revenue. However, if you really want to see a dramatic increase in pay per clicks, you need to ensure 2 very important areas are addressed. They seem very obvious, but many site owners miss the opportunity to attract higher paying ads simply because they ignore these two areas.
Optimization
Many "would be" web designers decide to build a site around the highest paying keywords, yet, forget to optimize their site around a specific keyword. Instead, they forget the basics of how to properly create a title tag, page description, keyword density and having clean search engine spider friendly code.
Remember, its the source code that the Adsense and Kanoodle programs are using to decide what ads will appear. If your top 2 keywords are "insurance" and "downloads", you may find that you end up with ads regarding "insurance downloads" which of course will not pay much.
Also, having a high keyword density score for the keyword can get you into trouble with the search engines (specifically Google). Keywords spamming is never a good idea. Optimize your page and you will search more hits to that page and not confuse the bots that create the ads for you.
Content
This is by far the most important and most missed tips. If you are going to include top paying keywords on your site, remember, if you want to attract high paying ads, you need to be selling your visitor on what your advertiser wants. Your content should sell to the visitors needs. Why should your visitor consider car insurance? What are the benefits of car insurance? Where can they get the best quotes? If you pique the interest of your visitor, they are more likely to click on your ads than if they feel that they are not getting the information they came to your site for in the first place.
Your content should have a specific flow to it. If you start jamming keywords into your content, your visitor will automatically suspect that you are trying to deceive them. Once you do that, they are gone! Why waste your visitors time after working so hard to get them to your site in the first place?
Well optimized, focused content will always produce better, higher paying ads. That is why you are a publisher: you want those high paying ads on your site. What use though are those high paying keywords if your content doesn't pique your visitors curiosity? Be passionate about your content, and the click through rates will skyrocket!
Its also important to make sure that you are using the right number of ads per page, but that is for another article!

Simple Ads Makes Better
Newsletter advertising has been getting a bad rap lately. Around every corner you can find someone complaining about how it doesn’t work. But when you ask them if they’ve tried it, most say no. The others who have, had NO idea what they were doing. Today we’re going to talk about exactly what kind of solo ads sell and what factors are important. Let’s start by going through the process of publishing a solo ad.
1. Choose a newsletter/ezine to publish in. 2. Write the solo ad 3. Write an effective title 4. Design the website where your visitors will go...
1. Choose a newsletter/ezine
Extremely important. You must do your best to choose the most targeted group possible. You must choose a “good-sized” list. Also, the group must be responsive.
The best searching technique is to go to the websites in your niche market that are popular and find the links that say “advertising” or “advertise with us.” It’s normally quite self-explanatory from there...
I personally recommend going for no newsletter with less than 5,000 members – unless they are extremely targeted and very responsive. To determine how responsive a group is – ALWAYS ask or look for testimonials from others who have advertised before. If the publisher is unwilling to provide these – don’t waste your time promoting there.
2. Write the Solo Ad
One word – story. That’s the BEST way to sell someone something – tell them a story. Most people are so skeptical now every time they receive an e-mail that the only real way to warm up to them is to tell them a story.
Start talking about how you went from a “nothing” to having this great success. Or, how you went from not knowing anything about “such and such” to now becoming an expert.
The next tip is to give them a “feeling” of what they are about to learn – *start* to teach them about the topic and then say “O...to learn the rest, click here.”
I’ve learned that the best solo ad never sells a thing, it only pre-sells and warms up to the reader. I guess this is where the theory of “Pre-Sell” prevails.
3. Write an Effective Title
Quite possibly the MOST important part of your entire campaign. Don’t underestimate the readers of the ezine. They *know* when the regular issue comes and when the solo ads come. They’re already skeptical. If you want to catch their eye, you better have a title that really appeals to them.
Here are some good title tips:
A) Use Numbers - ex/ How to Get 2000+ Targeted Visitors A Day instead of “How to Get Traffic”
B) Be Specific – Your title should reveal EXACTLY what you talk about…
C) Keep It Short – The shorter the title, the more it will be read…
D) Avoid SPAM words – Don’t use “FREE” “MONEY” – These words are turn-offs now…
If you can write an effective title, you’ve one half the battle already!
4. Design the website where your visitors go...
The BIGGEST mistake (in my opinion) is to simply send the traffic to your main site.
I recommend you set-up a SEPARATE website for THAT particular ezine. Make that visitor feel as if he/she is VIP for coming in from that newsletter. Greet them with a “Hey! Glad you could make it from “INSERT NAME HERE” to our site!This makes your site more personal and the visitor feels more comfortable reading your message.
A quick tip for your website: Always talk about the success YOU had with the program you are selling – tell a story and reveal how well YOU did with it. You will see a HUGE increase in sales.
Once again, people want stories and they want storied about YOU.
If you apply these four factors the “right” way, you’re bound to do extremely well with Solo Ads. Personally, I make thousands a month selling my consulting service using Solo Ads – so, no one can tell me they don’t work.

Fact About Adsense
AdSense is Google's program for placing AdWords ads on non-Google websites.
4 key facts about AdSense
1. You make automatic money with AdSense.
Small as well as large websites can get AdSense ads on them. Whenever someone clicks on an ad on your site, you get paid. Google collects the money from the advertiser, keeps some of it, and passes the rest on to you via a check in the post. Some clicks can earn you more than $5 dollars a time.
2. Content-targeting technology means AdSense ads are relevant to your site's traffic.
Google uses automatic content-targeting technology to select what ads will appear on your site. This system is quite sophisticated (but not 100% reliable) and generally the ads on your site will be relevant to your traffic. This means the ads are likely to get clicked by your traffic and make you money.
3. Google sells your advertising space for you.
Google has a massive network of over 200,000 advertisers using its AdWords advertising system and when AdWords ads appear on your site they are called AdSense. This means that when you sign up for AdSense, Google offers your site to all its advertisers - at a price that is determined by supply and demand through the AdWords real time automatic auction process. (This auction process is complex - I explain the details in my free course below.)
4. You can maximize your AdSense profits if you understand how the program works in detail.
AdSense is underpinned by Google's AdWords system and in short, if you know how to get high paying AdWords ads on your site, you will get ads on your site that pay you a lot per click. You don't want ads that pay a few cents a time, you want dollars!
