The secret of AdSense success is AdSense traffic. Traffic containing visitors primed for your website topic, ready to deliver the all important click. Nothing is more valuable to an AdSense publisher than extremely receptive visitors... more specifically AdSense traffic.

Traffic numbers are important, but you could potentially have hundreds of impressions per day and only get a few clicks on your AdSense ads. Whereas others may have a relatively low number of visitors going through their site but have a significantly higher click-through-rate (CTR).

How can you get higher CTR's? How can you get AdSense traffic passing through your site?

There are many factors that can determine the 'quality' of traffic you get. For example, bought traffic (which you are not allowed to use if you use AdSense on your site) is extremely poor quality. Some publishers in utter desperation risk the wrath of Google and buy traffic in order to boost their AdSense earnings. This type of traffic can boost the number of impressions you have but because the source of traffic is artificial, the source has no interest whatsoever on the website topic or your AdSense ads.

AdSense traffic from social bookmarking sites also tends to be of moderate to poor quality for AdSense users. Visitors coming from these sites generally make poor ad clickers due to the fact that users from social bookmarking sites like Digg often arrive at a website looking for specific types of information. They are focused, savvy and very blind to AdSense ads.

Basically the source of traffic coming to your site is important. The best types of AdSense traffic are those coming from a source that helps them seek out your website. These are primarily visitors that discovered your site through the use if a search engine. If your AdSense website is found through a search query, the visitor will be primed for your website and your ads. If your website is well optimized with well researched keywords and contains good AdSense ads it is very likely that you will get very respectable CTR's.

Of course the AdSense topic has a major impact on CTR's. You are more likely to get a click from individuals looking for 'flights to London' than those seeking out information about 'how to format a hard drive'. But no matter what the topic is, you are more likely to get better CTR's if your traffic is coming primarily from search engine traffic.

However, AdSense traffic coming from search engines can even be more primed and focused for your site and ads. By using well researched keywords in your website, you can get your site appearing on very specific web searches (especially those using long-tail keywords). Visitors seeking very specific information often respond positively to correspondingly specific ads that appear on your sites.

The secret to AdSense traffic is the source of the visitors passing through your site. Only through good search engine optimization and keyword research, can you get quality AdSense traffic passing through your site via search engines.
