Filtering out low paying ads

    Have been running Adsense for a while now and seeing clicks paying anything from .03 cents to my highest at $2.71. Is there a secret out there on how to filter the low paying ones or how can you even track them?

    Basically want to optimize my click amounts and would like some ideas on how best to find those "higher" paying clicks vs the lower ones?

    What is the caramilk secret to this?

    Thanks.

    i think you should allow 2 ads block, or just 125*125 button banner

    Yes try using ad block that has less ads. The more ad blocks the more low paying keyword will show on other blocks the more chances it to be click.

    The problem with blocking the low paying ads is Google's ad rotation technology is pretty good. A big part of which ad displays is based on how much it pays. Another big part is the CTR on it. For example, if an ad pays $5 per click, but only gets a 1% CTR, an ad that pays $1 per click, but has a CTR of 10% would probably show more.

    To be honest, if you block certain ads, you might actually end up with ads that pay even less.

    That's interesting... cuz I was curious as well.

    I was just thinking about "reducing the # of ads (blocks)" THINKING
    it may "boost" rev a little for those ads.

    Maybe I'll leave it alone :)

    Thanks,
    Mike
