Ok doing an average CTR of 2% - good enough for me, for now. Sometimes I get $0.01 and sometimes I get $1.25. 90% of the time I am getting the less than $0.03. How have some of you analyzed which ads get a better payout? Any good articles on this out there?
Just visit the sites that are advertising your pages (Don't click the ads! Use one of the recommended methods) It's fairly easy after a while to spot the MFAA sites that are paying beans.
How about the number of ad blocks showing on the page at a give time. Maybe if you lower this to 2 or 1 only the highest ads will show.
I only have one block on any given page and I have in the past gotten hit even in those with MFAA ads. Reducing ads would be something to try, though, makes the site a bit more enticing in my opinion.
