I'm new to adsense, and I would greatly appreciate your advice to make my adsense ads more efficient. www.freebieclub.blogspot.com Thanks!!
Try to match the background of the ads with your site's background, then you should be able to get more clicks!
Blend the ads in more.. also remember only 3 ads per page. I know you got only 3 but it looks like you might be adding more.
It may be a good idea to buy a domain, those seem to rank better in SE's. Search these forums for tips on optimization, and gaining traffic. It is well worth buying a domain and hosting, if you do it right, you can easily pay for hosting and the domain for the first month with adsense money. Good luck.
In addition to the suggestions above, you can craftily place pictures next to your adsense. It will EXPLODE your adsense CTR! Talking from experience.
Use tables to add pictures - eg <table> <tr> <td>picture here </td> <td> google script here </td> </tr> </table> Works better with horizontal ads or banners Or you can place them on top depends on your website.
I'm just about to try adding some pictures to the left of the ad to boost my adsense. My first adsense was only one ad at the bottom of the page ( just one Half Banner 234x60 blended with the background, borderless and with the same color schema ), that gave me about $1 eCPM. My second step was to put another adsense in the same page but now at the top of the page. but... incredibly.... that cause me a significant drop in the eCPM... it went down to $0.20 . After a week I put it back in the way it was and the eCPM is now about $1,20. My recomendation is that you should play a little with the position and the number of ads per page.
Thanks for the suggestions! I just changed a few things, please take a look and let me know what more there is to do. Thank you!
