WOW 47,000 Impressions and 27 clicks Any idea how to increase the click count? Whats wrong with the ad placement? Or is adsense going backward?
Yes, very low indeed, mine is 1 click/100 impressions average. But I even don't know it's good or not? In my own experience, good ad place is ok, but more important you should do is "never make any link looks more impressive than your ad links"!
i think your ads are not placed correctly , or you might be running a forum , try to adjust so that visitors see the ads better
There is a drastic change when you select the proper colors and sizes.....even the position of you ads play a big part....... 1. Make the ads blend in with the content of your site 2. Avoid hype....people generally dont like being sold 3. Relevancy and how useful the ads are play a really big part
A big problem is that you are pushing to an internet marketing community who know what adsense is. They dont click on the ads on purpose. Also, I would move your 'sponsored links' section to the top right and blend them in as well....In fact dont call them sponsored links just blend them in somewhere. That click through rate is very poor. You're not supposed to talk about specifics of course but that is very poor, 1 in 100 is very poor.
Placement plays a role for sure. But if you want to understand how to increase your clickthroughs you need to understand why people visit your site and what they are looking for. If your ads match their intentions and you have your ads well placed then you will make money. So look at your traffic logs, keywords, entrance and exit pages. Most people do not understand that Adsense success is about matching ads to customer problems... miss that and your CTR's will be very low.
Try section targeting. Emphasize related content using the following tags: <!-- google_ad_section_start --> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> For the unrelated content use <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
I second that.. when u get things rightly u will start to triple or quadruple your earnings.. just blend the ads well in right positions and you will really notice a change in your CTR
Agreed. I think it also depends on the audience. If your website is for kids, then put alot of pictures.
