3 Column Blog is not effective for adsense

Do you agree with that?

 

No ........

 

the reason??

 

I have 7 blogs and all of them are 3 columns with AdSense. I make lot of money with them.

 

Same here.
3 columns with AdSense are working very good.

 

The problem is not themes, its your ad placement.. I have blog use three column.. My traffic is not too good (around 400uv daily) but I got average 20 click/day.. Its fine i think..

 

i think 3 columns may either turn to be superb or atrocious

 

I agree with the rest of the guys: the layout of your site doesn't affect your adsense earnings. Your ad placement do.

 

yup..ads placement is important..same to your blog layout color or graphic/picture even simple words can attract visitor eyes and cursor to came to your ads
I got both 2 column and 3 column layout..I must say its depends on your creativity.. but mostly yes! one of my 2column with left sidebar giving most click than others

 

heh.

All of my blogs are 3-column blogs and they convert wonderfully.

I have to echo the sentiments of the posters above; work on your ad placement.

 

In fact 3-col blog is ideal for adsense

 

Hmmm - not sure about this, even though I have yet not used any three column layouts. But from my experience, I would say that the quality of traffic, the niche, and the ad positioning (folds, aggresiveness, blends) contribute to payouts from Adsense.

 

It works for me. Totally! Anyway, what made you say that so?

 

I use 3 column themes.

 

I also use 3 columns..it gives a look of a complete website

 

3 column blogs are alright for adsense as long as your adsense blends with the rest of the content and the design of the blog

 

here's my take:

2 column blog will give you a higher CTR compared to a 3 column blog. Higher CTR means higher earnings. I've experimented on this and my CTR doubled after switching to 2 columns.

The logic? With 2 columns, they only see your blog post and sidebar ad. Your visitor has less options. Read your blog post or click the ad on the sidebar.

With 3 columns, your visitor sees your blog post, an ad on your sidebar, and a list of links on another sidebar (unless you put 2 ads side by side on your sidebars). Your visitor has 3 options, read the content, click an ad on the sidebar, or click a link on another sidebar. Obviously, the one with 2 columns has a higher probability of getting ad clicks.

You don't believe me? Try it for a day and switch back to your 3 column if it doesn't work.

 

No...This is very effective than single column. See this blog...

 

First of all, no I don't agree. It's not about how many columns a blog has, it's the positioning of the ad and where you put it. I think most people have 3 column blogs nowadays and tons of people make money from Adsense alone.

 

i agree with the last commnet. If all depends on HOW you impliment it. My CTR doubled (0.74% to 1.48%) in one of my site after one change. And if you really can utilize all the space then you should make more money overall using the extra ad space.
