Hi all, Is there a way with the adsense deluxe plugin to reliably do a/b testing of ad formats? If not, is this something that you all would see a use in? I've been thinking of writing a plugin like this, and am wondering if I would be the only one to find use in it, or if a good method already exists for it. tyrithe
Case a: using vertical google ads mixed in with your content case b: using horizontal ads between paragraphs. Which one pays better for your site? It'd be a bit of work, but the idea is it would show one page to one visitor, then show the second way for the next visitor. Then you track which has the better CTR after so many clicks, and go with the one that performs better. repeat for ad color, etc.
That would be helpful to know, wouldn't it... Since my first blog is Wordpress, I'll probably start there. After that, who knows. (Should note my sarcasm there was more directed at my forgetting to mention that before...)
There's already an AdSense Delux plugin for WP, but not that would 'test' really. You could give it a shot though. http://codex.wordpress.org will help you out
I'm already using it. I can sort of test it by taking two similar articles and putting a different style on each. I guess you could make the case for that being a decent test. I'll have to try that and see what happens.
