Hey all, I got yet another problem. One of my websites gets about 50% of its clicks on one little area (200x200 square), since it is right at the top of the page and blended in perfectly. However, I seem to get really crap money from this unit. Today so far, I got 26 clicks and 79cents, from that channel alone . Other channels in the same page get clicks worth much more (double at least). Now: This square seems to show the same old 2 ads over and over and over. Does AdSense go by the content that is in the whole website, or just before the ad? (it seems as just before.)
try to change the format from the 200x200 to any of the 3 successful formats as published by G and most likely you get totally different advertiser or different image/video displayed if topic on that page is attracting high end advertisers. I recommend you test for at least several hudnred page impressions the format 336x280 - then look at ur data and may be you may get surprised
I'm trying the 300x250 for now and I'm going to leave it like this another 2 or so weeks. Then, I'm redesigning the website with AdSense in mind. Shouldn't be more than a few hour job since I got the coding done. Just need to move a few things around.
