So we all know and believe that our 'adsense for content' gets us MUCH more than 'adsense for search' (generally.) I was amazed to login today to see that from my 2 sites, i'd made MORE money from search than content. Now you know i cant disclose exact figures, but i'd made only 3 clicks from content with 65 cent total. CTR was under 1%, above 0.5% So this is pretty bad (even for me). So adsense for search now... 11 clicks getting me $1. (It used to be 90 cent from 8 clicks.) I'm thinking WTF? I mean im not complaining (though i'd prefer those clicks to be content - getting me more money.) Anyway has anyone ever had anything similar? Could it be ad placement... or someone mistaking the proxy 'type in url here' box with the google search box? (i own 2 proxy sites - yes i know adsense dont like them but i've got like $15 in the account so i dont care if it disappears atm.) final note to add - my CTR was just over 10% yesterday it was nearer 4% and in general its more like 2%. I did change my ad placement a few days ago which could have caused this. also i just realised i said i wouldn't use exact figures, but i kinda did! So what do ppl think about this? If you wna see the ad placement then send me a PM and ill send u a link 2 my site. Any ideas on why my visitors could be doing this. Thanks.
The CTR and CPC on my Adsense for Search fluctuates wildly all over the place.. let's see if yours stays like this for more than one day in a row..
I've only made a small amount with adsense for search, but I was even surprised to see the amount I made when I logged in one day. I wonder if there is a way to maximize adsense for search revenue
my only guess would be ad placement. my google search box is right at the top in clear view. the logo is easy to see, its practically inviting users to use it because it comes before the main content... dno if thats a great idea, but its only a proxy site, i need them to somehow use/see the ads
