Hi, I've recently started using AdSense and been reading and learning a lot about it but I'm still stuck with some questions. #1 -- I think I've read somewhere that if you have more adsense on your website your CPC will be lower. The theory was that advertisers didnt have to compete as much for an ad on your website. Is this true? #2 -- What is generally the better converting adtype; text or image? #3 -- I think text ads are converting the best for me but image ads have a better CPC/CPM. How can I fully test which I can earn the most money with? #4 -- Is there a real "best adsense template"? I mean, specific data on the CTR etc? Or should I just try 50 different templates? #5 -- Adsense for domains.. is it any good? I have it running on some website but they are getting almost no organic (direct) traffic and therefor no clicks. Does it only work for sites that still get some traffic (old sites which are offline), typo domains, etc? #6 -- What are the best converting ad formats? And positions? I've seen the image on google help, it didnt really help. Are there any stats? #7 -- What is the best way to test? Try something (like new color or w/e) for a month and write down all info and compare? Sorry for all the questions, trying to learn!
#1 it works fine , you don't need care this. #2 text #3 set your adcode format text or only image #4 around your text is best #5 i don't know. not good....i think #6 336*280 760*90 i like. #7 make channel to track
#8 -- When you click on a '728x15_4' (the horizontal 1 row link unit) banner it takes you to some kind of landing page from google. Do I get paid if people leave those pages? Or do they have to click twice?
