Who's Using Omakase?

Is anyone hooked up with this yet?
If so- any thoughts on converting?

 

I'd be interested to know this, too. Are the ads as contextually sensetive and accurate as something like Adsense. I would think that Adsense would be the more profitable of the two because Adsense is pay-per-click whereas Omakase is pay-per-action.

 

I just started using it along with my adsense
Two days after I started the ads are still not relevant?? So I'm not sure what to do. I doubt I missed any sales since my traffic is low, but I would like to see relative ads pretty soon.

 

I haven't used it but even though it's contextual it can be used along with Adsense:

 

Another post says you can not mix:

Check with Google to make sure.

 

I've been getting a fairly good click rate with these on www. wolfmother.net - at least, more clicks that the Adsense banner that was there previously.

But as yet, no sales ... so I guess time will tell.

As for relevance, the products shown are almost always great on my site. Plenty of Wolfmother music and similar genres usually.

[edit] maybe I take that back - really odd, actually. My site has a forum, and on that, one of hte last things I posted about was having read a Douglas Coupland book, and an Irvine Welsh book. Now, almost all products shown on the entire site are for Douglas Coupland and Irvine Welsh!! Does anyone have a fricking clue how Amazon's formula works? Is it page specific, or does it somehow use stored data, caches, etc?

 

That's the opposite to what they told me when I asked them about it several months ago.....

 

the adsense support team works in mysterious ways, they have different answers for the same questions.

 

Which is nuts!

You'd think that they'd be capable of giving a consistent reply

 

I rotate adsense and omakese. Omakese hasn't done anything for me so far (the recommended books sectiont hat i manually update works much better). As for as adsense and omakese I think I'll best not put them in the same page. I wish omakese was a little better...I might have considered using it more than adsense since books work quite well with my audience...

 

I don't know if it's coincidence ... but my CTR for adsense has dropped since I put omakese on my site. I guess users are clicking the amazon ads rather than the adsense ads ... but it's not bringing me any revenue!

 

Of those of you not seeing increase in revenue for Omakase compared to adsense. Is the traffic / clicks of a high enough number to be statistically significant?

 

misinfo was here

 

The number of clicks for omakese+adsense is slightly higher for me (20% perhaps), but of course the omakese clicks aren't converting into $$$, so I'm losing out ...

I'll give it a bit longer, but otherwise I'll be changing back to just adsense!

 

Why don't you just use the Omakase ads as a default for your Adsense one's. That way you shouldn't lose out even if they don't convert.
