Does adding another ad network affect adsense ecpm ?

My adsense ecpm fell way down as soon as i started using widgetbucks on the site, do you think widgetbucks would affect the ecpm ?

 

Well, it might. How much did it drop?

 

I did'nt notice of this, let me check with my site..

 

Yes, it would take away clicks from one network and go into another, you should always expect a drop in CTR when you go with two networks instead of one.

P.S. Widgetbucks is getting horrible reviews

 

Well the CTR didnt get affect much "strangely" . The eCPM however fell from a 1.5 to a 0.80 , i have removed widgetbucks now just to be on the safer side, as it is it has accumulated 50$ so the payment should be due if it is.

 

really, i didnt notice that. ill tested this

 

Widgetbucks ads are abnoxius, they will destroy adsense's presence on a site.

 

Don't use widgetbucks near adsense.
Widgetbucks are to noticable,so don't put above the fold,Put below instead

 

yeah, i took it below the fold, my clicks had marginally increased, but ive removed it completely for a few day just to keep an eye on ecpm

 

ok i was thinking of adding widgetbucks but now i wil drop the idea of it....

 

Very little, unless you place both ad blocks nearby

 

That's weird. I've added Widgetbucks today and my eCPM fell REALLY low. My eCPM is around $6 but now it is at $4.

Can anyone else confirm this?

 

so remove widgetbucks
it's a scam and u will see that soon !
i don't know how people trust widgetbucks !

 

My theory has been to put noticeable banners and ads near adsense but blend the adsense. People see the banner and assume thats the ad for the site and the adsense gets more clickable.

 

How can WidgetBucks be a scam? Honestly, I've tried a lot of ads and they've all paid me when I've reached their minimum amount. Not one of them don't pay.

Anyway, I've removed Widgetbucks on my site. eCPM is still around $4 and I hope it can go back up to $6... Fingers crossed!
