Lately my Adsense has been going to hell, especially in the last three months - although all of my traffic is staying steady and even higher than expected. Some have told me about turning off "interest based ads" or turning off "third party ads" Has anyone ever turned off either one or both? Any revenue increases by doing so with either or both?
Try adding link or text ads within content. That improves earnings. In my experience header ads haven't worked at all.
turning off "interest based ads" will helps in getting better CPC but it probably will decrease the CTR. People who turn off the "interest based ads" normally is those running high pay niche website. If your website have hige number or loyalty fans, you will facing this problem after some time, suggest to change the layout or/and ads placement/size
Try with different ad placement and track your earning regularly. Because you can find the solution after implementing experiences.
