    Hi guys, I've got a few question about AdSense:
    1. Does a lower CTR mean more CPC?
    2. About "Allowed Sites" section in adsense account, what does that do, I didn't quite get it(I'm stupid:confused:)
    3. Should I add 1,2 or 3 ads per page? Currently I have 3, should, if fewer ads should I leave the ads with a bigger CTR or with a lower CTR.(WHY?)

    That's about it.

    i can't answer them all, but i can say that do not add more than 3 ad units. google states that more than 3 accounts to "too much advertising"

    will leave detailed answers to some adsense pro :)

    - No

    2. About "Allowed Sites" section in adsense account, what does that do, I didn't quite get it(I'm stupid)
    - This is to control the quality

    3. Should I add 1,2 or 3 ads per page? Currently I have 3, should, if fewer ads should I leave the ads with a bigger CTR or with a lower CTR.(WHY?)
    - Depend on you. Of course remove the ads with low CTR and Keep the high CTR ads

    1) Some say you might be smart priced, but that is just a theory/myth.

    2) Check out What are Allowed Site? That should answer your Allowed Sites quesiton.

    As far as number 3, experiment with things. More ads could mean higher click through rate, but possibly lower paying ads being clicked on. Some people see higher rates by removing ads, some don't, you'll just have to test.

    Thanks for your answers
    On my index I had 2 ads with no click per day, maybe max 1 or 2 and I decided to remove them, before the remove I had 50 cents, and after 20 minutes after I removed them I logged in my account and I had 2.5 $ with fewer clicks than usualy. :)
    Tomorrow, on the pages that I have 3 ads I will remove the one with the lowest CTR and wait for results, the following day I'll do the same thing untill I have only one ad per page(the one with higher CTR)
    I'll post here the results.
