You may be curious to know what is the best way of using Adsense to make more money, you may not have got your first check and are wanting to contact someone in Google about when you will get the money, you may have a specific query about the Program Policies and may want some confirmation from Google on it, and so on. There can be a huge number of queries that you may want information from Google on. What do you do, how do you contact Google ?
Google makes it pretty clear on their help forum that they will only answer queries that are specific; the rationale being that with the huge amount of Adsense users, there are very high chances that a query that is asking for some general information would have already been asked by somebody else and is available in either their forums, or on some blog somewhere, so the expectation that they want to build is that a person should do some homework before asking Google.
Which are the location that information about Adsense will be available?
1. The World Wide web. Just do a search for the query you have, and there is a good chance that this information will be available in a post made by someone already.
2. The Google Adsense Blog. This blog (link) is titled ‘Inside Adsense’ and it provides a lot of information on Adsense, including tweaks, secrets, and so on.
3. Adsense Help Forums. The Google Adsense Help Forums (link) are very active, and there is a good chance that either your query would have been answered in the past, or if you post a new query, there may be multiple responses to your query.
4. Adsense has a Help Center (link). You get a huge amount of information on this site, with some of the heads for starting this quest for information being:
- AdSense Basics
- Adsense for Content, Search, Feeds, Video, Units, etc
- Information about your Adsense account
- Information about earnings and reports
- Information about payments from the program
- Many other heads
5. Adsense also has a place where you can actually post your own problem, and if they feel that your request has not been already answered for other people in the forums or elsewhwere, you may get a mail from somebody from Adsense Support. The link for this location is (Contacting Adsense Support).

It is very easy to use, and there are millions of site all over the world that make money for themselves and for Google. Now, Adsense is typically seen on many content sites that have articles, but forums are a different game altogether. The impression has always been that forums have more dedicated users (with many more repeat users who grow impervious to ads and hence there is fewer revenue to be made). However, as always, it is the proper placement of ads that makes a lot of difference. Read on:

When you run a forum site, ad placement and formats are key to designing ads that will be successful but not intrusive to your regular users.
Placement: Display your ad units where repeat users will notice them

Making Adsense fit into your forum site

Because forum regulars tend to skip the header and go straight to the meat of the thread, placing your ad unit above or below the first post can be more effective than ads next to the logo.
Place a leaderboard immediately after the last post. This provides users who make it to the end of a thread with a ‘next step’ when the content ends. Try to avoid placing it after the footer, though, as your readers will likely move to the next thread without seeing the ad.

Formats: Adapting your design for multiple ad units and limited space.
Using multiple ad units, you can use a variety of formats to fill ad space throughout your site. Placing a skyscraper above the fold on the left side of your forum seems to produce slightly better performance than other positioning. However, when using multiple ad units throughout the page our horizontal bias still favors the leaderboard. Our heat map provides more details.
Use horizontal link units, which are small enough to fit near the top of your forum just below the header. For the regular forum visitor, link units offer a wider range of relevant topics to browse.

However you choose to implement your ads, keep in mind that forums are highly interactive sites with regular users. Be sure to blend the ads nicely, so they don’t appear overly intrusive – but don’t blend them so well they mislead your users!
