April 2007 Optimization Report

I got it also. I only filter two URLs as well! lol.

 

haha...that kind of shows how they're trying to get as many ads active as possible.

 

i just get too. this is good for me i like this suggest. Thanks google.

 

Received the same "tips" here.
So, do we all agree? This is not good advice?
I only have 5 URLs in my filter.

Too many folks say "Filter out the crapola." and "Measurable improvement, after blocking."
Too many folks say "Raise your EPC AND eCPM by showing just one ad block". I believe this is true.

Agree, or disagree?

 

Argh they have spoiled my beloved adsense reports page...my temple!

I hate change! lol.

(i got the same message too!)

 

Agree or disagree about the what is said or that too many people say it? I agree with both of the statements as said. I have performed tests and have found statistically significant improvements. But, that is just my site...your mileage may vary and you have to do this with your own sites to see if filtering is justified or worthwhile. Don't believe me because I say it worked for me, try it yourself and see if it will work for you. It may...it may not. Note, filter sites that actually show up, not ones from some generic list.

 

I see what you mean. Sorry about that.

What I meant was -
Many folks say "Filter out the crapola." and "Measurable improvement, after blocking."
Many folks say "Raise your EPC AND eCPM by showing just one ad block".
Do you agree with the folks that make these statements?

The way I see it, following these tips will make Google more money.
The way I see it, following these tips will make YOU less money.
Do you agree with these two statements? Or am I wrong?
.

 

Curious. I only have my own site to go off of but I definitely increase earnings (and I assume that Google earns more, too, so the first one is correct in my case, but not the latter) Can you explain your views? I can see Google getting more money but I'm not seeing the part where you would make less. Have you done any tests with this?

Edited: If your second statement applies only to the second "many folks say" then perhaps, I have not really tested this one out too much. The first one is also true because the clicks become worth more, however YOU are also making more so I'm okay with it...I don't see any downside to Google AND the publisher making more money Definitely measurable improvement from filtering.

 

Got it too, pretty cool they start doing that.

 

I never received anything.

 

I received some more too , an invitation to beta programme for Google CPA. Just below this advice.

 

Congrats! You must be totally optimized

 

Wow. That's awesomity then. =D

 

I just now noticed a message section on the reports page. Anyone else notice this? What could it be for?

 

i saw it too..some message about optimisation

 

Got it too...

 

Yeah me too. It basically told me to remove sites from the competitive ad filter as i might earn more that way.

 

same here . . . mine said i won a million dollars.

 

Yeah it told me to remove sites from my competitive ad list, too

 

My recent messages is empty... guess nothing is better than something horrible.
