Hi, recently, I just removed an adsense from my forums and the CTR increased a lot. about several full percentages. Also, the revenue also increases. I guess you can say that a higher CTR will bring in more bucks obviously. I did this is because the forums was a place to chat and I figured people wont be tempted to click on any ads while they browse the website.
Correct. This is the main reason why forum admin have to seek for alternative option. A lot of adsence ready websites in the market and most of them are articles submittion interface.
