Have you tried Crazy Egg? It’s a neat tool that lets you see graphically where people click on your pages. I use the free version a lot when tinkering with ad placement and love it.

[…] My goal is to keep building on my earnings, and I’m hoping to top Adsense out at $400 a month. Whether this will be feasible or not is anyone’s guess, but I’m making strides to get there. I’ve been working to build new niche sites at a quicker pace, and I’m working on fleshing out content to target more lucrative keywords.

“So, as much as adding links to Wikipedia and other sites with more information may benefit your reader, it won’t really do much for your efforts to make money so I’d suggest leaving them out.”

Perhaps put the authority links (like wiki) at top, where people scanning for quality websites will see them quickly, but sales links at the bottom, the next logical step for the surfer to click on adwords or affiliate link, you having had the chance in text above to presell something to them?

I think there are two schools of thought here on whether the outbound links will eventually dilute your PR. Speaking from my own personal experience, the opposite is true for me as I see an increase in PR from my inner pages where I did lots of linking out to other blogs. Therefore, I’m more partial towards linking out to other bloggers.

Oops! Blogs not included. But I’ve never thought of blogs as a moneymaker really. I don’t use them to make money so I kind of forget that other people do. So ya… if you’re a blogger then outbound links are good for creating a network and all that good stuff. Although if you want to make money from your blog I wouldn’t go too nuts with the outbounds.

I agree with Google Adsense placement, it would make sense to have some “money making” possibilities there. I might change that on my websites… I currently only focus on redirecting to more articles.

Concerning the outbound links, I think for a blog it’s a question of balancing between affiliate links but also normal linking : yes we want to be rewarded but it’s nice also to get trackbacks (when you link to some other blogs, it leaves on these blog a comment with a link to your post) for traffic. With no traffic, no money…
