With old design, I was getting around 9$ per day... I was a happy camper, but then something bugged me to upgrade wordpress and install some new flashy kick ass theme (paid $$). And now my google earnings, which is the only source of income, is going down! It's not called down, it's totally gone )) site is in my sig. suggestions? cool placement ideas? THANKS! I give out rep to anyone with good helping answer
GazD is right. i am also not seeing any adsense ads on your blog. between your blog has good new design. put right side big square, put leader board ads in header and one big square at end of post will give nice adsense exposure.
not true, maybe u ended up on the site when I was experimenting... adds are up and running. You can see them at category page, and post page. for example: http://www.sandrophoto.com/2008/06/20/muscle-car-wallpaper/ category: http://www.sandrophoto.com/category/car-wallpapers/ Gallery pages: http://www.sandrophoto.com/digital-photography/fashion-glamour-photos/
Ok seeing some now. Placement isnt the best. Get a big box one over in your right sidebar, and get one at the bottom of the page giving the reader something to click when done with their reading.
put it up, in the sidebar as advised! Thanks allot. What do u think about colors I use? are they optimal? better blend in or stand out? in the post area, I was thinking to put 468*link ad under the header. what do u think?
Your ads are all virtually hidden from the visitor's point of focus. On your individual pages, move the rectangular ad block to the very top of the post (Underneath the following line "sandro | Jun 20, 2008 | 1 comment"). Make the URL and the description within the ad the same grey colour, and keep the main text of the ad (which is currently blue) a slightly lighter, but still strong blue. On your main front page, your ads will very rarely get clicked where they are right now. Move them to the left hand side where "Photo Stories" currently is. (White background and same link colour as is used for "Briancon Mountains") Try placing a long horizontal banner between the menu and the rotating picture area. Background (that bluey-purple colour) link text WHITE and decsription/url text GREY. Your CTR will soar
Not often that I reach out and say this but the adsense integration is great!!! To others reading this, check it out , do a double take and then you'll get the idea! Very neat integration, just shows classic blue isn't always the best! As a true con artist once said "It's not all about the money, it's how you get it that counts" - Sorry! I'm on a roll tonight!
