Sorry folks, I know this is very basic - but how do I disable low-paying ads in adsense? I did not find any place in the config settings. Thanks, Rainer
ah - so there is no setting where I can say, for example, "no add below$0.10 are to be displayed? From some conversations on the board, I had the assumption this is possible. Using the completive add filter sound like a while bunch of work to be done every day. I even need to check different geographical regions. Can this really be done? Rainer
you can just block the website from which you dont want to show ads just write the website url and you should know which ads paying low and which paying high.
You won't know unless you got a click. Then block them.... or what you can do is create a site with a content that will produce ads with high CPC... there is a list from the internet but i think that is not updated.
Even if I may sound silly ... but how do I know on a click-by-click basis which URL was reached and how much was paid for it?
lol. Thanks for making me laugh. On a serious note, you can't just say give me ads above 0.10. I wish oh well all publishers wish to have such settings but then advertisers would be bankrupt overnight. Remember ads are shown on bidding basis. Try to learn how adwords work before u understand how adsense work. Many people com here with half knowldge coz they dont know how adwords bidding works and then whine about low CTR/eCPM etc. Learning is the only way to know how to improve your performance.
you cant do that. its not easy to determine price per click. to get more relevant ads, you could try 'section targeting' and 'competitive ad url filter list'.
hehe, I always love to serve a good laugh - my pleasure (I am not kidding ). I actually know AdWords quite well. Maybe that is why I wonder how I should do all these magic things. My question was about this: To me, that implies that it must be somehow known which ad is low paying and which is not. BTW: I am very skeptic if all this low-paying ads blocking is useful at all. After all, Google optimizes ad serving based on CTR and BID. So it is probably much better for a publisher to show low-paying ads, because these are more likely to get clicked than the higher priced ones (if google has found this out). However, there are so many "just block low-paying ads" statement in so many forum threads over here that I would like to get into the meat of them. Or are they *all* nonsense? Thanks, Rainer
Probably I've not been clear enough: I mean with ad URLs where reached. I don't mean mine, which I can see quite well in the channels and also in Google Analytics (when it comes to traffic sources, trends etc). What I am interested in is if I can see *which ads* get *klicked*. Rainer
only google knows that. what you can do is go to the sites that are showing up on your site, and filter the ones that have zero content... you have to learn what an mfa site is. the preview tool and the labnol site will be helpful.
Sometimes it's easy. This morning, on one of my computer pages, I received less than 1.3 cents per click for multiple clicks. Only ONE ad was being displayed in my 250x250. If Intel does not want to pay to display an ad on my site, good-bye Intel. Blocked forever. If an ad is paying less than 2 cents per click, I don't care if the CTR is 100%. The ad gets blocked. Or, the page gets moved.
Hi surf_dude, If there is only one ad AND it is low paying - don't you end up with PSAs after blocking it? Rainer
recomended: dont use filters.... select top keywords on adsense section for example webhosting keywords.. (insert this on your key word: https://mya.godaddy.com/ and godaddy ads showen on your page {they have 2$ rate} )
