2. Design your site or app around the user journey.

By making your content the focal point on the page, and following standard web best practices, you can create a site that's visually appealing and easy for your users to use and navigate. Check out the AdSense Guide to Audience Engagement for best practices on designing user journeys, not just web pages.




3. Use ads to complement your site or app.
Ads should always supplement the content on your site, not the other way around. So when you’re placing ad units on your site, consider the user journey and how the ad format will complement your site and provide value for your users. If you want ads to look more natural, and match the feel of your content, consider using native ad units. For example, news and article publishers could consider using the native-style format called Matched content at the bottom of each article to direct readers to other relevant content on the same site. This strategy can help grow readership and your ad business. 






4. Test, test, test and test again.

At the end of the day, data will be your source of truth. If you’re considering implementing new ad units, run an AdSense experiment to see how they perform. Also, test the different formats to see what works best for your users and your page.




Remember, content is king and it’s the most important thing to users on your site. So you should always have more content than ads on each page. For more information and best practices, head over to the AdSense Help Center or join our next #AskAdSense office hours on Twitter and Google+.

2. Audience engagement is key to increasing your presence in Indonesia
Engaging your audience is all about telling the story that users are looking for, in a unique and creative way. As publishers, it’s your role to make it easy for users to consume content. Easy to consume content creates more chances to engage with an audience, ultimately yielding greater ad impressions.

Here are two resources Jeanny shares with publishers that want to engage with an audience:
  • Download the #AdSenseGuide to Audience Engagement. This eBook is packed with tips to help make your content easy to consume. 
  • Use the free AdSense content recommendation tool, Matched content, to encourage your site visitors to consume more of your content. Place the Matched content unit at the bottom of your articles and it will promote additional contextually relevant and personalized articles from your site. Check if your account is eligible for Matched content here.




3. Ensure that your site is policy-compliant
Understanding AdSense Policy will help Indonesian publishers to build a healthy and sustainable business in the long-term. Here're some tips Jeanny usually gives to her publishers:

  • Understand the AdSense Program Policies.
  • Avoid accidental clicks on your own ads and notify us if there is invalid activity in your account
  • Check your AdSense-registered email regularly. If you receive a policy warning email, quickly fix your policy violations. If your ads get disabled, fix your policy violations and send an appeal via the form given on the email.

She regularly hosts live Hangout on Air sessions with her publishers to talk through best practices, ad placement tips, and ways to grow your business.

Untuk penayang AdSense saat ini, kondisi ini menghadirkan peluang untuk menumbuhkan pengunjung situs secara global. Seri AdSense Global Spotlight baru ini dapat membantu mengajarkan, menginspirasi, dan memberi Anda wawasan tentang cara mengembangkan bisnis dan membagikan konten di pasar negara berkembang. 

Pada kesempatan ini, kami ingin mengajak Anda ke Indonesia, negara kepulauan dengan 17.000 pulau dan berpenduduk 260 juta orang. Penetrasi internet di Indonesia sedang mengalami perkembangan pesat dengan pengguna internet berjumlah sekitar 100 juta orang dan pertumbuhan pengguna internet baru sampai tahun 2020 diharapkan mencapai 37% Pendapatan iklan online Indonesia juga diharapkan tumbuh secara agresif - dengan pertumbuhan tahunan dalam pembelanjaan iklan digital diharapkan mencapai lebih dari 40% dalam beberapa tahun ke depan [3].

Jeanny Haliman adalah Manager Mitra Strategis AdSense yang memiliki akar kuat di Indonesia. Ia membantu para penayang di negara asalnya, Indonesia, dalam mengembangkan bisnis dan menyukseskan monetisasi mereka menggunakan AdSense.

“Misi saya adalah memberdayakan mitra untuk mengejar cita-cita mereka dan mendapatkan sokongan finansial secara independen ketika mereka membuat konten yang mereka sukai.”
Berikut adalah tiga tips utama dari Jeanny untuk penayang yang ingin berekspansi atau memulai bisnisnya di Indonesia.


1. Optimalkan situs mobile untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pengguna Indonesia:
Indonesia adalah pasar yang didominasi pengguna seluler. 65% orang Indonesia mengakses internet lebih banyak melalui ponsel dibandingkan melalui desktop atau tablet. Masyarakat kota Indonesia juga menghabiskan waktu harian online-nya tiga kali lebih sering di ponsel dibandingkan di desktop4] Penting sekali untuk mengoptimalkan pengalaman pengguna dan strategi iklan di situs Anda untuk sebagian besar pengguna Indonesia yang mengakses konten melalui ponsel.


Berikut adalah dua sumber referensi untuk membantu Anda mengoptimalkan konten bagi pengguna seluler:
  • Unduh The #AdSenseGuide to Mobile Web Success untuk mempelajari praktik terbaik cara memaksimalkan setiap peluang seluler.
  • Gunakan Iklan tingkat laman. Iklan tingkat laman adalah jenis format iklan yang menawarkan cara baru dan inovatif untuk membantu Anda memperoleh uang dari konten seluler. Iklan tingkat laman ini didesain untuk menampilkan secara otomatis format iklan seluler yang tepat pada waktu yang tepat - berpotensi meningkatkan penghasilan tanpa mengganggu pengalaman seluler pengguna. Selain itu, iklan tingkat laman mudah diterapkan. Lihat tutorial 2 menit yang akan memandu Anda melalui prosesnya. 



2. Memikat pembaca adalah kunci untuk meningkatkan kehadiran Anda di Indonesia
Konsep dasar dalam memikat pembaca adalah dengan memberikan konten yang dicari pengguna situs, dengan cara yang unik dan kreatif. Sebagai penayang, misi Anda adalah mempermudah pembaca untuk menikmati konten Anda. Hal ini dapat memikat pembaca untuk membaca lebih banyak konten di situs anda, yang pada akhirnya menghasilkan jumlah tayangan iklan yang lebih besar.


Berikut adalah dua sumber referensi yang dibagikan oleh Jeanny kepada penayang:

  • Unduh #AdSenseGuide to Audience Engagement. E-buku ini dilengkapi sejumlah tips untuk membantu membuat konten Anda mudah dinikmati. 
  • Gunakan fitur rekomendasi konten AdSense gratis, yaitu Konten yang sesuai, untuk mendorong pengunjung situs menikmati lebih banyak konten Anda. Tempatkan unit Konten yang sesuai di bawah artikel Anda, yang kemudian akan mempromosikan artikel tambahan dari situs anda yang relevan secara kontekstual. Periksa kelayakan situs Anda untuk Konten yang sesuai di sini.



3. Pastikan situs Anda mematuhi kebijakan
Memahami Kebijakan AdSense akan membantu penayang Indonesia membangun bisnis yang sehat dan berkelanjutan dalam jangka panjang. Berikut beberapa tips yang biasanya diberikan oleh Jeanny kepada penayang:
  • Pahami Kebijakan Program AdSense.
  • Hindari klik yang tidak disengaja di iklan Anda sendiri dan beri tahu kami jika ada aktivitas tidak valid di akun Anda
  • Periksa email yang terdaftar di AdSense secara teratur. Jika Anda menerima email peringatan kebijakan, perbaiki pelanggaran kebijakan secepatnya. Jika iklan Anda dinonaktifkan, perbaiki pelanggaran kebijakan dan ajukan banding melalui formulir yang diberikan dalam email.

2. Know what’s trending

Staying up-to-the-minute can require a lot of time and research. Luckily, online tools such as Google Trends can help you identify what’s important to your audience as well as offer helpful insights about people in specific regions you are trying to target. Being a thought leader means not only sharing up-to-the-minute industry news with your audience, but also offering insightful observations and predictions of what this may mean down the road. A trusted source is a followed source.


3. Increase your content’s shelf life

While timely articles are great for generating instant buzz, having content that maintains its importance over time yields higher traffic rate overall. Evergreen content is information that stays relevant no matter when it is consumed. Make sure to interlace trendier content with evergreen pieces every so often.
