Hello, Anyone use adsense on their facebook applications? How does it compare to other publishers like Cubics and RockYouAds? Would really like some opinions on this one. Regards
I run several applications, most traffic is US/UK and with RockYouAds I was earning a pathetic $0.10 eCPM over a period of 3 months Using Cubics I was at $0.07 eCPM =/ With adsense I'm running at $0.94 eCPM using a combo of banner and link units.
Yes, it can be used. Usually only with iFrame applications, at least if you want relevant ads. You can use in plain FBML apps, however you have to put the ad in its own iFrame, the the relevance is gone.
Yes using an iframe to frame your adsense code is ideal. If you are wanting it relevant to your page then you have to code in some keywords around the frame so that it picks up textual content
Here ya go - enjoy *google-code.htm* - The Actual Ads page with the key words, and targeted references, and of course the google code itself. <body style="background: #000000;"> <div style="position: relative; top: -5px; left: -5px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-*****************"; /* FB-Header Ad - 728x90 */ google_ad_slot = "*************"; google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p> <b>keywords</b> <i>keywords</i> Content - Atleast a Paragraph <b>keywords</b> <i>keywords</i> </p> <h1>keywords</h1> <h2>keywords</h2> <h3>keywords</h3> <h4>keywords</h4> <h5>keywords</h5> <b>keywords</b> </body> Code (markup): google-frame.htm * - Ads Preparation page has a frame displaying the Actual Ads Page ( I put keywords here too ) <html> <head></head> <frameset border="0" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" rows="100%,*"> <frame src="google-code.htm" noresize scrolling="no"> </frameset> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p> <b>keywords</b> <i>keywords</i> Content - Atleast a Paragraph <b>keywords</b> <i>keywords</i> </p> <h1>keywords</h1> <h2>keywords</h2> <h3>keywords</h3> <h4>keywords</h4> <h5>keywords</h5> <b>keywords</b> </html> Code (markup): *Facebook App Canvas Page - Include php file or similar* - Putting FB:Iframe code on the page(s) in question, to the ads Preparation page. <fb:iframe src=[color=#FF0000]*server address* /includes/google-frame.htm [/color] id="games-header" name="games-header" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" height="105" width="740" /> Code (markup): Explained... The Code Colored in Red needs to be changed to something specific to yourself, the ones done in yellow are default settings, but I advise you tweak them alittle to your liking. I hope my code is self-explainary enough, if not feel free to contact me.
This is a VERY useful post, thanks for sharing. I never thought of doing this before. I hate iFrame apps, I usually code with Render Method set to FBML. This is a very efficient way to keep the FBML method but still have the ability to display relevant Google Ads. Regards
You are welcome people. Sorry mezo i dont think I know you mate unless you have bought some of my stuff
this is usefull post.. so if we will display adsense ads in Facebook application. do we need to contact adsense team for approval?
Agreed, best to get permission first. Google is notorious for letting your adsense account build up to high numbers before shutting it down due to some violation they manage to dig up.
