hi can someone tell me if this is ok please ! i have a website (travel related, 1 specific destination), i have pr 5, more than 350 visit per day, at my adsense stats from the last months i have an average per day of 2150 ad impressions and 20 clicks + poor Ecpm , i use 3 adsense blocks, one at the header , the second at the center and the third one in the footer, all 468/60 , is this normal $$$ for a travel related website ? or i should re-think about the placements and the color of the ads ? thanks !
give us the address so we can check it You can add channels to see which ad unit does not convert. 3 ad units might be too much
Look at repositioning them, changing colours etc... It just depends on how well they are merged and if the ads look interesting enough to click A URL would be good to as Pixads mentioned so we can take a closer look.
hi pixads im using channels, not telling so much, also when looking in overture bid tool and looking for my own keywords, the bids generally arent more than 0.25 in the best cases for top ranking keywords !
I too use channels, and look at overture bid tool. I have seen that it pays more when we mix the ads with rest of content in page (font, color and size wise). Try this you'll have more CTR and eCPM.
why not, i have just changed the ads color, before they were like you suggested Dakait, the same color and font as the website, now i changed them to another more attractif color, hope will give some success, i will give an report about this after 2 or 3 days. thanks guys
hi again ! nothing has changed absolutly nothing ! well a few clicks more , but the same eCPM, maybe using a rotation color ads system like the one here at digitalpoint forums will help ? thanks guys
I am also testing contrasting colors but it doesn't help that much. Seems like changing the ads once or twice a week raises the number of clicks
Pixads you are right!! With 3 ad blocks there is a bigger chance of being served less paying ads. radislav you may want to remove 2 ad blocks and see how the payout rates. From my own experience the ads in the footer would pay less so I removed them and started testing with ads in the header and ads on the left sidebar. Why are using Overture for Adsense? It wil only give you a small idea on whats what but when it comes to Adsense it may become totally irrelevant. Again for everyone to give you better tips we need to see a URL.
why not ! i will do that and lets see the most performing is the centered one ! i will keep it as unique block ! hope will serve more high paying ads !
yesterday i had 100 imp only i went back to 3 blocks ads , now im using a leaderboard at the header since yesterday night, seems better !
i feel image ads pays morethan text ads.... but CTR decreases with image ads unless you position them in right slots.
Your moving too fast!! When you make any changes to your Adsense you should test the change for at least a week or two so that you can spot any difference.
im now sure ! travel market is not so comptetive ! bids are all time no more than 0.20 ! damn it ! thanks guys for your tips
