Hi, I am new to adsense, just got the code 5 days ago. I have got a healthy traffic generating website, with around 750-1000 visits a day. However my adsense earning for these 5 days, with over 4,000 page impressions in total, is a complete joke. Was scanning through the threads here and found one where someone said that you can use adsblacklist, which will block out low paying ads and consequently increase your income. What i want to know is whether this is not supported in adsense's TOS or program policies and whether using this will genuinely increase my income? Regards
It's not against the TOS. You have the right to block sites using the competitive ad filter. By blocking low-paying ads, it should increase your average cpc.
Google already determines which ads will pay the most based on CPC and Click Through rate. They're in the business to make as much as possible just like me, so I'll leave that stuff all up to them.
If every publisher's site were to show the ads that pay the most, where do all the low paying ads go? Exactly. Adsblacklist helps block the low-paying ads from appearing on your site.
