After a recommendation to place a 300x250 ATF (above the fold) Google Adsense ad on the website, I did so and let the Google folks know. I receive the following back from them: Thanks for getting back to me and for implementing our suggestions. We look forward to including your site in our custom placement packs whenever possible! If you haven't already done so, we suggest labeling your placements with '300x250 ATF' in the description in order to let advertisers know that you've placed medium rectangles above the fold on your site. Can anyone tell me what they mean by "labeling your placements with '300x250 ATF' in the description"? I asked if they meant as a meta tag, or if the html of the AdSense ad should be modified. Alas, no response from the Adsense folks. Any help here will be appreciated. Thanks!
That doesn't make any sense to me... I take it a Google representative contacted you offering to give you some placement advice?
i'd guess that they are referring to how the custom channel is named? i hope you realize that google is setting you up for cpm ads, not contextual... but that's o.k. if your epc/ecpm is really low to begin with.
