Tips How To Get CTR >10% After 6 Months Test And Trial

Before I continue this thread, it is useless if I don’t give the screenshot to prove it. Unfortunately, to give screenshot about CTR that I got means violation to the Google Adsense’s T.O.S.

If you are sitting next to me, I want to open my notebook and log in my Google adsense, so you can see my CTR is above 10%.

SO....., If you still believe what I said eventough You don't see the screenshoot, please continue reading this.

1. Use one column themes

I believe it heard strange (at least there is few people who discuss this idea in Digital Point forum).

For example, have you ever seen mini-site for sales page?

You ever did it, right! When you saw the mini-site for sales page, do you ever look around the page? Of course not, because in unconsciously you will focus to the sentences that the page have.

Truly, those words that hypnotize you make you focus to the sentences there, yet this mini-site with one column has roles to make you read it and scroll it carefully, and in seconds you want to buy the product that is offered.

I got that vision and try to make themes adsense in one column.

What fort?? Of course, it’s to make you focus on one thing. hahahaha.

2. The Placement is below the title and after third paragraph

Point one is the placement of adsense is below the title, so that the visitor will pay attention to the article and start to see adsense advertisement. It is worth enough to click it!

Visitors’ characteristics who will click it are the visitor who is searching in search engine and love to make many tabs. When they wait the loading process, they will see adsense advertisement (the adsense advertisement should have blue color like other link), suddenly they will click it.

Second point, the placement after third paragraph. Actually, there are no special placement standards in paragraphs.
But for this advertisement, this is dedicated for visitor who focuses to read the content.

For visitors who truly have read the article, and suddenly get trapped by the adsense advertisement, they will get tricked! Or if they are not see the advertisement at first time and when they are serious reading the article, the adsense advertisement show off!

I am sure that they will not focus, and by that time, they will click the adsense advertisement.

Note: For setting, I used like this: 336 X 280



3. In the end of content, it should have something which makes the visitors come back to above.

Here, I mean the related article. As we know that the placement of the advertisement is only at above, in 2 spot placements, like I have explained it in second point.

Our efforts are trying hard to make the visitors mind out of control (can only focus to the article), can go back to above! Hope that they will come back again and get trapped by adsense advertisement! hahaha

How to go about it?? I use the related article post. I use Automatic Link & Related Post plug-in by Purwedi Kurniawan.

4. Give link to be shared

For this point, the optimal thing can be categorized as “SEMI”.
What does it mean? You will know it through read more

So, if the visitor success to go out of the trapped in our 2 adsense in above, we tried to trap them with the related post, in order to open new article and hope they will click it this time..But if they don’t interest to click it, they have to share it!

It’s ok the visitor doesn’t click our adsense… but if the article is good, maybe the visitor wants to share it to friends. Retweet or like in Facebook. By sharing, we don’t get SEO point, but we get viral effect. This is important. And sometimes, we ignored it, because we are too addicted with SEO.

Note: just want to share; my friend got 3K – 5K visitors in a day. Where do the visitors come??? It is because of twitter!

Surprise! I also got surprised when I saw the wp admin who take care of it.

There is no traffic that comes from search engine inn his wp status, but comes from referrer site. And the referrer site is twitter.

He is only focus on sharing the nice info in his twitter. And the followers come, so that many visitors come too!

That’s why to set plug-in that has share facility is very important for me. It is like an obligatory.

My themes had been integrated to the share facility in some social bookmark.

Note: Don’t set many share facilities. 3 is enough. Retweet on Twitter, Like on Facebook, and Google+.

But if you want to add more, just add Digg, Stumble Upon, and Delicious (you can replace delicious with reedit) (those three sites are the lesson from SEO Demystified guidance)

Back to “SEMI”

This is why the visitor doesn’t want to share with friends, though all we need is click ‘retweet’. Do you want to know?

How if we are still reading it and got offered to share, but we don’t want it, what should we do?

I have 2 answers:

1. You exit the website.
2. Scroll above and find something to read or click.

Right???

Point one, we don’t expect it!

Point two is clear that our target is the visitor who comes back again and seeing the related post again!

Hope he or she will click it, and when he or she reads the new article, he or she will click the adsense advertisement!

In the end of article, I don’t set the adsense advertisement again. It would give the visitor 2 choices. Read the related article, doesn’t share it.

That’s all!

(The worst thing is the third choices, exit from our website)

This thread is made from my experience during my observation on the adsense placement and kinds of adsense that I set during 6 months.

5. Delete the Comment Form

Please, delete the comment form! Because in the end of article we had made noise with share and related post facilities. Don’t add more noise which can make visitors will not come back again to above.

This is the steps to do it:

1. Go to Appearance --> Themes Editor

2. Go to Single Post (single.php)

3. Delete this part: " <?php comments_template(); ?> " ( no need to worry if it is error. It will not broken )

Hope it is worthwhile.

Same old tips and i am using this style for last 2 years and haven't crossed 2% CTR but they might work for your niche...!

 

what is your niche sir? my niche is weight loss

 

How come nobody ever mentions targeted traffic? Good placement and formatting is great, but traffic is what it all boils down to in the end. Not only does it influence your CTR (think logically - how can it not?), it also helps with this:

http://adwords.google.com/support/aw/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=134761

I don't know about you guys, but I often notice how referrer traffic pays ridiculously (analytics + adsense combined). Can't say that for targeted search traffic (US, UK, and Canada typically).

Stop chasing your tail and "optimizing" for "high paying" keywords. Considering that the "niche" you're in is not totally abandoned by advertisers, nail down on a couple of other elements from the equation and you'll see drastic improvements as far as everything goes. What more do you want? A lot of traffic, great CPC + CTR and advertiser satisfaction which also means security on the long run ("invalid" clicks anyone?). Read between the lines...

 

I have a multi-topics network

 

Yes, this do work, but a lot depends on the niche, some niches the traffic comes back to the same post above for more, but in some niches they have too many options in mind already and quit from the page irrespective of the quality of the post, it all boils down to which niche you are working on.

 

yeah it depends on our niche too design, and another thing at interface for visitors

 

Setuju gan. one coloum is great choice for high CTR but only when you have targeted visitor not people who only wants to analyze your adsense placement and how your site optimized in SERP

 

Some good tips here.
What about the link units? You don't use any? What about adsense for search, you don't use either? What about the third adsense block allowed, you won't display it?

If you did all above I'm pretty sure you'll be earning more eCPM. At least that's what I believe. I understand your point about leaving the end of the page with related topics or sharing choice.. But you could find a place to add the third adsense block, like within the article.. You can have two blocks within the article, why only one? It could increase your CTR even more. But >10% is already cool enough yes.

 

I don,t use the link units and adsense for search sir. my cCPM is around $20-$50.

thanks for your additional tips for my thread. really really thanks

 

I think 2 percent CTR is enough.. i am happy with 2%

 

You have some good tips although I wouldn't go past 10% on the CTR

I have many adsense sites that last for many years and I keep the CTR% below 1-5% and make good money with it.

Throw in some media traffic and you'll see your earnings rise and go crazy from there.

 

For point 5, I think you will lost a relationship with your readers. If your reader have some questions, they will back to get an answer from you. They don't have a place to make a question if you delete comment form. The loyal readers are a valuable asset for your blog.

 

yes, I'll try to maximize traffic from social media traffic. thanks for your tips for me sir

 

yes, I'll try to maximize traffic from social media traffic. thanks for your tips for me sir

 

before I do that, I have considered it. I hate so much with spam comment sir. but thanks for your comment

 

I don't think "deleting the comment form" is a good advice. The goal should be to make a better website where people actually like to spend time and interact. Focusing on clicks and CTR only will end up with a MFA website, which gives Google a reason to ban you.

I am not saying every website should have comments but if it is a blog and people come to your site looking for answers etc. then it is better to enable comments.

 

Problem is that google ads are not relevant to the site content. CTR can only go high if ads are relevant to the content topic. People definately see google ads and the anchor text of the links in google ads but they will not click if thats not relevant to what they are searching for. So google can only help us to increase CTR by showing highly highly relevant ads.

 

your comment makes me think about it again. thanks for your valuable comment sir

 

thansk for your add valuable comment. but I have read that book! yeah and I have done that trips in thats book everytima I publish my new post
