hey, here i am with another question for you guys (i'm just starting out with adsense). i would like to learn a bit more about the number of ads that you publish on your web pages and how that influences the CPC, CTR and so on. until now i used to put 2 large rectangles per page displaying text ads only (so a total of 8 advertiser on my pages). yesterday i decided to put 3 large rectangles per page (so 12 advertisers in stead of 8) also displaying text ads only and i noticed a 40% decrease in earnings per click. is this because low bidders managed to get ads on my pages or could be just a bad day for me? what is you experience with the number of ads on pages?
Just use 2 types of ads on one is keyword and banner on 2 different places. I suggest you put one on header and one between the content. Don't make ads spamming on everywhere.
it's not about the placement, i'm fine with that. my question was abut the number of ads you use on your pages.
I always put the maximum amount of ads in my pages (3 adsense and 3 adlinks) and sometimes also adsense search. I don't mind getting low CPC clicks, as long as I get something, I work on traffic numbers and a honest CTR, then the rest is down to luck, but at least I've done my part: 1. getting traffic 2. display ads in good spots 3. offer plenty of space for advertizers with 3 blocks
It all depends on the type of website I'll be placing the ads on... but of course, for maximum potential use the max.
i just put one, that way if someone clicks on an add im going to get the highest value click ammount possible
3 ads per page, and other 3 text ads too i think, not more, either you can use unlimited ads per page by using iframe, but that is against adsense TOS
I use two image ads and one adsense for search in the main page. In the internal pages I have additional one ad links.
