Why Link Ads are the best in google adsense..LEARN

For every Adsense user there is a hint
It is from my experience...

If you, as many users, complain about low CTR and low earnings compared to other sites, this might be helpful for you

First you should know than conventional adsense Ad Units have some disadvantages as:
1-Ad Units styles and formats are now boring and repeated for visitors
2-Most advertisers doesn't put attractive words in there ads, thats to apply google adwords policies and to attract targeted visitors they want
3-Also if Ads are related to your content, it is not necessary to relate to visitors interests

see..



Almost every site you visit, so what makes the visitor click yours?!

So why Link ads are the Best?
1-It is the only form of google ads that looks for the visitors interests, it depends on the visitor searches done with google.
2-The visitor may choose ads, which may be interesting for some visitors.
3-When some one clicks, he gets a list of sites , so he may click more than once
4-The link ads titles are more interesting
5-You will get a significant rise in earnings if you could blend text ads in a link list or list of your site content

 

Thanks for the tips, but my link units are performing as adsense video ads or img ads, so i always prefer image ads

 

I'm trying out the 728x15 links between posts on my forum at the moment

I would try to make that links blue to see if you get better ctr.

 

i prefer Link ad units besides Ad Units because it ads few more $ revenue!

 

these r gr8 tips buddy,on my forum im also trying the link ads

 

Nice tips Mr. ABDO

I suggest - for people using AdSense link units - to place the units next to the site navigation.

 

yeps...you are right visitors get bored after getting same ads in everywebsite thats why link ads are best

 

I've just put them on, so I need to give them the opportinty to bed in for at least a month, then i'll change the colour and do the same thing again. You can't rush these things. Historically i've had better results with contrasting ads than with blended ones, but it may be different for 728x15, I don't know yet. Point taken though.

 

Link ads work the same way as normal ads, right?

Ie one click on a link ad = one click on a text ad?

Sorry for the n00bish question

 

No, they don't. Users have to click the link ad then go to the next page/

 

Hmm cheers. I will remove them then

 

Link ads on a sidebar can look like navigation. That often works. Other than that, having to make two clicks does harm CTR...

 

hmm.....really good comparison even though it was a little short

 

If you have a few hundred uniques every day, one week should be enough to test I think.

 

Sorry, I don't agree. One week isn't long enough to iron out any short term fluctuations and could give a complete 'bum-steer'.

 

Ok, I suppose it depends on the type of site.

 

I occasionally use link ads to supplement the ad unit on the page if the layout deems it appropriate. What I have found, though, is that the link units aren't anything to really bet on because they require two clicks for you to get any payment. The regular ads on my site are usually targeted just as well as the link units, so quality of ad isn't an issue in my case. And you can get just as many MFAAs advertising on the second page of the link unit as you can on the initial page of a regular ad.

I would by no means discourage their use, and your mileage will probably vary depending upon the type of site you have, the content on it, the visitor make up et cetera.

 

I don't agree. It all depends on the site layout and what's on the site that determines how well the link units will do. For example, I experimented with replacing my content ads with unit ads and my CTR dropped by about 2%.

 

yea,
the best thing is to make the link ads look like links in your site
anb best color is blue
