Hi! All, I have few recommendations to improve CTR for adsense pages: Match ad font colour as per your web page, Blue is the best. But yellow and green are most attractive to eyes. Avoid using borders. Go with the flow of the page. URL may be made lightest but should not match the back ground colour. Place ads where visitors must go. e.g. near search forms, close to submit or such buttons. Avoid image ads. they will stand out. Place ads towards the right. Google's hottest spot is in the mid, above fold. No. of ads should as minimum possible. AdLinks are great can fit well below Menu. But they gibe returns only if clicked twice. i.e. once at link then one click at the ads appearing after clicking link. There is an option of alternate ad at adsense setup. Default is public service ads, you can put an HTML page with links to your other page/affiliate page in this page. SO that this page should be shown instead of public service ads, which don't pay a penny. There is an option to display "advertise on this site" with google ads. Its a nice trick to place the ads near images. Because images attract site immediately. Do you know placing some text/keyword just near/below the ad can influence the types of ads you should get. You should keep title, image name, headlines relevant to ads you want. Rest some other time.
in order to assign precise VALUE to your tips there would be a need to know EXACTLY - your "improved" results as a site average for a larger site 5-10k impressions/day minimum: 1. how many digits is your CTR ? 2. how high your eCPM ?? 3. how many digits your overall adsense revenue $/m ??? without such PRECISE average values experienced over MONTH,S there is NO comparison possible and hence no data available to make a sound decision for changes or to leave as is we had repeated extensive threads about this topic in past few months in THIS forum FYI - 1+2 above i get 2 digits each 3 above a very solid 4 digits = as a result of some 100 GB traffic / m by 11k unique visitors/d creating some 49k pages / d resulting in some 10k G impressions can u do better with ur tips ? otherwise its quiet boring to repeat same topics again and again every few weeks unless there is solid proof for improvement possibilities based on facts
Sir, There are always a chance to better. Pls. implement a few. especially disable the Public service ads in adsense setup and check Show non google ads from another URL. Make small ads similar to google's of the same size as you have choosen for google ads. and then see the difference. It increase 2% of my affiliate sales overnight.
since you gave ZERO response to my precise above questions 1-3 i consider this thread of no value at all without precise evidence from your part- ZERO changes on my part !
Remember if you have more than 1 Google Adsense ad on the site and 1 is showing a PSA and instead shows the alternate Google Look Alike ad you are violating TOS. Always best to remind people when giving them tips.
Sir, There is no violation. Infact Google will check it the URL first and it will aprove and then display on your web site. Ya! I should mention that you should avoid writing 'ads from google' instead you may write 'ads from .......' You should not mention google name. All these are proven tactics. Pls. use'em it won't cost you anything. Otherwise you may leave'em as they are.
he might talk nonsense but his thread is not really that bad just he should not just copy it from some place and put it here. XD
there are two different approaches one is to adjust colors to content so ads blend in other is to put as much contrast on ad colors so they can stick out from content believe it or not, sometimes second one works the same as the first approach, even better
