i just changed my site layout and adsense placements along with colors blending and now my CTR is increased to almost 6%. Before it was just around 1%. Just take a look at my site. Avinashtech
Interesting, your site looks so spammy, but I guess thats the point... you must get a lot of accidental clicks from people or something lol.
Aren't those articles saying "Download .... " and then just below there are adsense ads, a TOS violation? It seems people can get confused that these are download links, i'm not sure if this is a smart move...
I'd say theres way too much white space and the website navigation is laid out very poorly. I doubt your visitors stay on the site very long and certainly won't be returning to it. In the long term I can't see the website being very profitable.
You can't place ads bellow titles, watch out. If there is a report, you're probably out of adsense program.
scubita is right, you can't put ads between the titles and the content that's violating the terms of service.
And? Did the income increase? You might be running too many ads. Do you even know which ads are being clicked on?
Well... ads are ont there mate... and they dont violate any adsense TOS. Ragarding 7 ads on page... you must know mate... Adsense lets you put 3 ad blocks plus 3 link units plus two search bars on a single page.
I think you should read their policy again. Their rule #1 is Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page. rule #2 is A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page, but that doesn't mean you can break rule #1 since adsense search boxes are consider ad units.
