Google adsense Ad unit vs Link unit

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by noorbaduk, Jun 18, 2010.

    Google adsense for content have two adsense units. Which adsense content ensure more ad click between google adsense Ad unit and Link unit ? can you recognize you get more ads click or earn more from Ad unit or Link unit? I want to setup only one adsense content between the two. Do you suggest me Ad unit or Link unit which is the better option?

    Use Ad Units in your post... 336x280 and 300x250 work best just above article content, and at the end of the article.
    Use Link Units below header and in navigation area. (Remember, link units take 2 clicks to get you money. 1st click takes clicker to the page of ads. 2nd click on ad page makes you money.)

    Ad units work best for me. I've found link units to be pretty much a waste of good white-space.

    I've had better luck with putting the Ad Units within the content. I usually put one 336x280 Ad unit after the first paragraph in an article. An Ad Unit above the content looks spammy, and at the end of the article most people tend to ignore them or never get that far down to see it.

    Link Units work well for some sites, but I'd pull them if CTR is low.

    From my experiment,Link Unit is more preferable for clicking to the visitors,but it brings less earning.Ad unit brings more earning but clicked less comparing Link Units.So you better use both.

    If you're going to do AdSense, you may as well do AdSense the right way. In my
    experience, placing ads above the fold and above the content, is the best way to
    get a high CTR.

    Plus, if it's helping your visitor, it's not spammy. I really don't see AdSense as spam...
    I see it as a helpful way to help my visitors.

    It has always been ad units performing better than link units for me. But that might be due to how my site's design is and how I have more content all over. If a site has links or list of categories on the sidebar, it would be better to place a link unit above/below it. That might get you more clicks.
    So, conclusion is, it completely depends on the site layout.

    all depends on layout and placement.
    If it matches both are good.
