How Can I Improve Adsense CTR?

Gentleman,

My site about Digital Photography (NikonD90Club.blogspot.com) has very low C-T-R.

My site rank #1 with keyword "d90 club" or "nikon d90 club".
I have impression about 10,000 per month but very lag of adsense income.

Do you have any recommend to improve it?
Do my adsense locations not so good?


Cheers!

 

Usually adsense for search has a very high CTR. I think mine is about 20%. You could swap your site search with a google search and put it in a prominent position.

 

Adsense depends on the ad placements too. While creating the ads consider the colors and fonts used at your page where you're placing them because it' also an art to attract visitors to click on ads..

 

Agree with hbosltsb, you can earn from site with lots of content
Replace site search with google search and place it on top of right-most square adsense ads.

 

Your blog has a great look. To increase the CTR please blend your ads with the surroundings.

ie: Ads should has same color pattern with your blog.

Placing ads on left hand side is better than placing it on right hand side.

 

Try changing ad color twice a week to avoid ad blindness.

 

Once again check out No.7 in the TOC's - it still stuns me "which bit of talking about your CTR % can get you banned" do people not understand???
If you have a link to your site with google adsense on in your signature and someone from google spots you talking on this forum then they can ban you for that alone. Is talking about your CTR really worth losing your adsense account???

Thanks to "hbosltsb" & "sahandy". I will add adsense search instead of my search.
Thanks to "alokverma" & "Tom32" & "Jarodboy". I will change my ads color to blend with the content.
Thanks to "adsenseplr". I already remove the C-T-R number and make call it as C-T-R.

Thanks again everyone. I will execute and see the result!

 

Good luck dude

 

Your blog's theme is outstnding
Where did u get it

@santacruz

 

As my experience no one like to click on Ads deliberately.
Ad should not be highlighted as other content.

 

Hi Sarachris, I will pm you about the theme.
Thanks applications dev. I will monitor what in different between 2 the colors.

 

Hi Santacruz

I recommend changing the AdSense background color to white.
Then change the ad titles color to match the dark background on the "Continue Reading" button.
Do not change ad text color.
Change Link color to match the reddish color of your Category items.

Alternative Scheme:
White AdSense background
Change ad titles color to match the reddish color of your Category items.
Change ad text color to match your dark text.
Change link color to match the dark background on the "Continue Reading" button.

Hope that helps.

 

yeah...thanks a lot MyHub.
Your comment is very useful.
I just changed my adsense to blend with background.
I want to monitor it for a week then follow your idea to compare result.

Thanks again!

 

very nice template...something like wordpress theme.

 

try to blend your ads with your website template and collors , that will slightly grow your ctr

 

have you tried promoting cameradollars.com? The Clickbank vendor name is "CAMERA". I've done well promoting that to general traffic. The payout is $27. Visit their affiliate page and put a small skyscraper ad in your blog. With your traffic volume, you may be able to get 1 or 2 sales per day.

 

trick them but dont trick them! make things blend in but stay true to googles TOS

 

Sorry if this is a dumb question. But how does having a serach box help with Adsense revenue?

 

When a visitor search on google search box placed on your site, there is a chance of clicking sponsored results. If the visitor click on any sponsored links we will get a share.
