Yesterday, I changed ad placements on my blog, and I already saw a difference. I placed an ad block among the text/content, and I already got 3 clicks from this. I had this same block in the sidebar before and only got 4 or 5 clicks in 2 months. I got 3 clicks in 1 day, although they were not worth a lot as they made me less than a dollar. I knew that ad placement did matter, but was not expecting such a major change.
sure ad placement has a role in what you earn from adsense , try to but in side bar , between text , and above read more button or above download button for example
Well, ya that does matters and thats why people keep changing their placements in order to get maximum clicks. - Digital -
Google Adsense even encouraging us to use channels so we could make some combination that would be more effective.
Traffic + Ad placement is the most important part of making a successful adsense website. Just don't be afraid to change the placement of your ads. It's just a trial and error.
Yeah, I agree with the other posts. Probably something to add, what's a great ad placement for one site/niche may not be the best one for another. It depends on your visitors so just observe and make tweaks here and there until you get the best possible placement.
