I want to try and increase the money i get per click, is there any way i can do this, or any links you can give me to places that show way of doing this? I read somewhere that a good CTR is around, or just under 10% so my CTR is not the probelm here as far as i know. I also heard that putting less ads on your site increases the amount that you get per click, does this actualy work, and will it work even if i have only 2 text ads and one image ad?
I dont think you can do that, but you can get more clicks and get more earnings per click I have like one google ads per page and I receive 1,30,000+ UVs but still the money I get for clicks is low
give me your site and I'll check on it... I can optimise it for you and assure you of a better return. and yes it will be charged though
You cannot do any thing to increase the amount of money you get per click. Google decides that. However, you can increase your earnings via getting more traffic.
Ha ha, why would anyone pay for that? Unless you can get me 150% CTR i think i'll pass. No offence. Thanks for the link YesBrilliant.
The smaller the ad (the less links the ad has on it) and the less ads you have on each page, the higher you will get per click. For example: In a 336x280 ad block their are 4 links. While the first link on the block may be $1.00 per click, the last link may only pay 5 cents per click. If you use a 250x250 ad block, their is less likely of a chance you'll get the cheap paying ads. Another Example: You have to 336x280 ad blocks on your page. The first ad block, the top link will pay the highest. As you go down the HTML in the page, the ads will only pay worse. Unless you truly care about making a few cents, it's better just to have one, well-positioned 250x250 ad block, or 350x300 ad block on your page. In final note, some people have higher CTR ad blocks under lower CTR ad blocks. If they'd just delete that ad block with a lower CTR that's above the ad block with a higher CTR, the highest paying ads would go to their high CTR ad block and they'd earn way more... ANOTHER NOTE TO MAKE: If your CTR is highest at the top of your page and then it pyramids down with no question and no bumps in between, then continue to keep all the ads on your page. However, if you have an ad with a lower CTR above an ad with a higher CTR, be sure to delete that ad with a lower CTR.
Nice info. I've experienced the same. You're welcome. I just included an extra few lines of information there as well since there are many not-so-correct comments flowing in this forum.
Well ttomp13, I experienced a different pattern in my site. I changed the ad placing and numbers on my site and I found that the skyscraper block, which is the first block in the page, returns a low pay per click while a 728x90, which is the second on the page, returns the double. I just waited for a few days and now the first block returns a pay per click that acerages around the high value. So, I think it is up to google to decide what to do and how to pay.
Well I thought so for a long time but this is not completely true. At least not on my website. I did tests with various ad formats from the half-banner to the large rectangle and anything between. While it is true that the single ad unit (half-banner) has a higher CPC than the other units it does not necessarily mean that it is earning you the most money. In my case the large rectangle is earning more money than the half-banner because it receives more clicks. More ads can also mean more choice for the visitor. And then there are the image ads which are usually not placed on the small ad units. I also made tests with one, two and three ad units on my page and thought for a long time that one ad unit would be enough. Imagine my surprise when I realized that a second, smaller ad unit on the page would yield roughly 4/10 of the revenue of the bigger unit. I lost $40 in every $100 that I made. A third unit on the other hand had low click rates and was not worth being placed on my website. So, testing around might actually surprise you and increase the revenue that you make.
It does because basically advertiser has to outbid each other for their respective ads to appear so there are high chances you will end up with some low paying ads if there are more ad units. Reducing the number would help.
It depends on the Niche, keywords and traffic region. You can increase the cpc by finding out and adding some high paying keywords related to your niche. But, Don't put too many keywords. It may harm your adsense account.
Listen to ttomp13 - he knows what he is talking about. I went from having three adsense units to one well placed 336x280 unit and my earnings nearly tripled with the same traffic. The only other thing I would recommend is trying link units. I have had great success on pages with 2 link units and one 336x280. One other clarification - it does not matter where your ad appears on the page in regards to PPC. It does matter which adsense code block appears first in the html code. If you have a three column layout with a skyscraper ad at the bottom on the first column it may very well be first in the code while the well placed large rectangle ad that everyone is actually clicking on is second or third in the code. Look at the source HTML and see.
more ads is not mean more earning. I have experienced that. Now I only put ads above the fold which bid is highest
From my experience, Less ad units = more per click. But it seems to vary a bit from site to site. Try a few things out for like a week at a time, and then compare which worked best for you.
you can try to screen out the MFA sites or the site that gave you low pay out by doingit in your adsense account. how to find MFA site and low pay click you can search in this forum.
Not true. You do have control on how much you can earn per click. How you do it? The answer is select the right industry
