This is how i increased my earnings greatly in only 30 days - from 1st June to 30th (date of post)...... Changed adsense to large rectangle with no borders and placed above fold. Randomly chose 4 styles that i created - styles that slightly stand out - all with white background. Placed random images (based on subject of each page) to the left of each ad - plenty of information about doing this kind of thing on this forum. Took out other adsense ads that were on the page - this increased the CPM dramatically. Summary And now earnings are 4 times higher each day, minimum, and growing. Next month i suspect will increase even further from what i have seen. Now my website alone earns more money than family members salaries. Its easy to do and no one has any excuses not to try it.
sorry I just dont want to disclose the site - this is all. Nothing sinister about it But just wanted people to know that it could be done. It was you, Critter, that started the ball rolling. And thank you for that.
He obviously won't give the URL of his site, if it He doesn't want people stealing his idea. Congrats webdesignlist and thank you for the advice.
screenshots would be nice what ad size did you use and what colors ? what's your CPM now ? yesterday the CPM of one of my 100 visitors/day sites was $175, today it's back to $30.
ill try and do a screenshot.... ad size - large rectangle (336 x 280). Colours are deep blue (title and link) and light beige (blue again). Deep blue and beige are the colours of the site itself - so just use colours that will blend in to your own site. Not allowed to discuss CPM i dont think ??? just incase its against google TOS (can anyone check??) but its 4 times higher than it was on the 1st june - and nearer the lower end of what you quoted. Im sure this will help sites earning $1 a day to those earning $100s - but they have already done something like this (hint, hint) ;-)
not sure why the traffic numbers of the site are important, all though it (the tool in question) has ~8,000 visitors a day. Doesnt matter if you have 200 or 2 million visitors a day, if you follow what i did, then you should be looking at 4 x what you started with Dont forget, im only trying to help others here who are using adsense too. Feels like im being interrogated lol Im no professional (or maybe i am now????) and it worked for me, so i wanted to share the info
you increased your ctr which is great. however, do you think that you did it at the expense of losing some [repeat] visitors? on most sites the large rectangle above the fold is pretty prominent and is quite intrusive (to my taste).
the people who use this tool dont want to pay for what i sell, so no, i am ok with them using it for free, as long as i get payment via adsense. the tool has LOTS of repeat visitors daily.
the point was i was trying to work out how you earn so much! People are only asking questions because they want to do as well as you have!
i think the key is to offer something - content, free tools etc. The more you give, maybe the more you recieve - maybe even some people know that the tool is free and click on the ads to say thanks??? i have thought about this - and reckon that it must be the case for some visitors.
If you just give one screenshot and explain your CTR, did it increase or still the same? Even after the changes you made? You dont have to represent the exact numbers! a rough idea will help us understand. and also make us earn that extra $.
Remember though, what works for one site might not work for yours. Traffic is also important - if you have little traffic not many people are going to see your ads.
