I am getting very frustrated with my website layout and adsense in general. Is there anyone I can hire to redo my adsense placement? Are there special sites for this? Thanks!
My advice: Read DP AdSense forum as often as possible and make use of the "search" to find specific things you need to know.
Some people see better CTR when the ads are near the top navigation. Also your articles are very long. I would suggest breaking them up over several pages, most people only spend a few seconds looking at a page. Lots of scrolling might lose a person's attention, not to mention they are a long way away from most of your ads by the time they are halfway or all the way through with your article.
Put This in above your first ad <h1>Listen to Our Band is dedicated to helping talented unsigned/indie artists and music lovers come together.</h1> Then This put this in default size 2 With millions of unsigned and independent musicians on the internet, it's hard enough to get one person to check out your music. It's also extremely difficult if you don't know the right ways to promote or the right target audiences to reach. Believe me, we've been there. Are you a talented band desperate for the attention you deserve, and want to find new fans without spamming everyone on the web? Then Your adsene <stp> etc Then the rest. Try it The other thing break your sentences up some. People hate anything that feels like it runs together
It's really not rocket science. Open and close your website a few times while keeping note at what catches your attention at first glance. Have a few of your friends do the same thing. Place the ad's in the general area that caught your attention.
