The best way to get more visitors to your website is to use some special 'search engine optimization' (SEO) techniques that will attract HOARDS of free "targeted" traffic to your pages!
The 'techniques' I'm referring to here are NOT sneaky, deceptive tricks that will do nothing more than get your site BANNED from the search engines...

...On the contrary, what I'm about to share with you are USEFUL tips that are sure to come in handy when 'optimizing' your websites for greater Adsense profits...
1. Make sure the search engines can read your site
In order for the search engines to extract (i.e. pick up) keywords from the content of your page, it's *imperative* that your site design is kept as simple as possible...
Search engines can only SEE words, so if your site design is "too complex" (using frames, image maps, databases, trailing cursors, animated GIFs, etc.) chances are they will not be able to read the page, rendering your site "invisible".
Even if they happen to make it through a complex design and find your site, typically the deeper pages will not be read. If this happens, your site may as well not exist.
Not to mention, a complex design will drive your visitors absolutely NUTS!!!

2. Build your sites with LOTS of quality, unique content
You've no doubt heard that "content is king" - BUT - there's a little more to it than just slapping up a bunch of "off-the-shelf" articles that are already being published on every other site out there...
Search engines are highly attracted to *original* content that can't be found anywhere else. The better your content, the better your listing!
Now, the obvious solution would be to write your articles from scratch. But how do you go about providing this key element if you don't like to, don't know how to, or simply don't WANT to *write* them yourself?
Well, the easiest way is to find pre-written articles with "private label rights" (PLR) and 'modify' them into your own 'unique' creation.
This is a POWERFUL strategy, as you can edit these types of articles however you wish and put your name on them as if you'd written them yourself - WITHOUT actually doing the work!
Even if you only change the title and add an opening paragraph, you will be well on your way to quickly providing original content that the search engines will absolutely LOVE!
-------------------------
3. Optimize your articles with a strong keyword density
You need to make sure your keywords and phrases (the ones people will be searching on to find your site) appear in your articles the right number of times.
At a minimum, make sure the keyword or phrase you wish to target is present in the title, in the first few paragraphs, and in the last couple paragraphs as well.
With a little research you should be able to find a decent software program that will analyze your articles' "keyword density" prior to publishing them on the web.
-------------------------
4. Create a simple 'Sitemap'
Search engines use your Sitemap to learn about the structure of your site and to increase their coverage of your web pages. Your Sitemap should be simple, using text links to help both human visitors and search engine spiders. Use a layout with HTML links, which include keyword descriptions of each of your pages.
Your site map should be linked to every page in your site. This way the engines can find and spider every page.

5. Remember "Search Engines 101"
In your quest for implementing SEO for greater Adsense profits, don't forget the basics...
- Make sure your keywords appear in your TITLE tag, your META tags, and also in the body of your page.
- Have each of your pages target one "main" topic. It's a lot easier to get your pages indexed properly, and for the Adsense ads to be consistent with your content, if each page is centered around it's own topic.
- Get other relevant sites linking to yours. Search engines measure the "value" of your website by the number and quality of "links" from other websites pointing to your site. To have a decent search engine listing, you should focus some of your time on finding "link partners" in your niche.
