hi everyone i have a veeery low CTR on the following site: www.hostfreefiles.com How would u enhance the ad placement? Thanks for your advice
earlier this year we had some very detailed threads on that topic see http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=228283 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=237454 http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=178570 BTW - FYI your site canb NOT be loaded using above URL only http://hostfreefiles.com/ !!!!!!! apache misconfiguration you may also pay some attention to your code validation for a tiny page like that it should be possible to get all fully validated see http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http://hostfreefiles.com/ and your meta tags: <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW"> <META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="INDEX,FOLLOW"> are actually obsolete because FOLLOW os default for all bots. re your ads placement think about the use of the 3 ( 3 ) Google publsihed successful ad formats. specially ATF
Drop the banner cause that is too easy to spot as an advertisement. Place adsense right under the bold "upload" and right above the upload button. And use a smaller banner. The whole idea is to put it in their face. So keep it close to the key features of your site (ie. where they type text and hit submit). Change the font to match the font size/color on your page. Drop the blue hyperlinks cause it makes them stand out! If needed, change your page font to match. You must make adsense look like it is not an advertisement and part of your page!
