Hi, I am using adsense to make money from blog since last two years.While experimenting to increase the CTR I found Font Family and Size is useful to me. When adsense gives us the opportunity to select the font size and family I done experiment with arial font with small,medium and large size.The result I got was not so impressive so I used verdana font with medium size.By changing font and size my CTR is improved reasonably high. I think this font and size matches to article pages that is why I got improvement. Afterall this is my thinking.what you think? Anyone from you exprimented for CTR? what is the result? Please share your knowledge or thinking on improvement of CTR. Thanks.
I always use the same font as the article and use the same color links for the link navigation also. This has helped me increase my CTR.
This would be very helpful for newbies like me. Just got my confirmation from Google Adsense yesterday and I'm so happy. Now, I'm researching on how to increase my chance of getting higher pays. Thanks for this info Sir!
Yea, these small and subtle things do seem to matter. It would be hard to generalize though - what works for one site may not work for another. You need to find your own best when it comes to Adsense
Prasanna, thats true because when a ad matches your content color and font the chance of clicks also increased. I saw your blog and the ad was impleamneted very well...good job!
I changed my site theme late last year and my CTR went up. This is up per ad unit not overall - I have less ad units now as well. Earnings is also up, traffic is up, CPC is up, I'm getting different ads too. I'm really really hoping it stays this way. Nothing much to do with the ad units though, I got rid of a large rectangle at the top left of my site on every page and put one at the bottom right of 1/3 of the pages which gets more clicks than the top left one ever did. This month my best earner has been a link unit at the very bottom of 1/3 of the pages. Don't understand, don't really care, just enjoying the money while it lasts
I put the maximum allowed ad units, including adlinks and search, I put them in obvious places and if the CTR is 5% or above I don't improve upon.
Thank you very much for the replies.I am specially thankful for RumpledElf for sharing such a nice experience.I am expecting more insight thoughts or expriments on CTR.Aside from font and size there are other factors which are useful to increase the CTR.Have anyone from you exprimented on that and what is the result?
Hi friend, My Adsense CTR down and monthly adsense revenue also....It come 150 $ per month from 283 $.. Please tell me how increase adsense revenue overall.. thanks
Dear Richard, What changes you have made on your website? When you are earning decent amount from adsense means you have some knowledge.Better you share your experience to achieve this much earnings.In process you may get solution to your lower CTR.
Changing font combination has got some impact on CTR and also the cost you get for one click, keep experimenting combination of fonts you will get one right font combination
I've done a lot of experimenting with adsense and my thoughs can be found here on my website: make money online with adsense. When it comes to link ads I usually go for blue ads, they are the most common ones online and will make your visitors trust them more.
