Hi, So, my problem is that my Adsense CTR is really, really low and I don't know why. I am using animated image, image, rich media ads(so as 9gag or any other entertainment site that I've seen so far) and my CTR is under 0.25%. I have read on websites that they have high CTR but it is disappointing. I got click bombed too, so It's even less... I tried both the left and the right sides, same results. I'm using dynamic sidebar too, so visitors can see the ads always. The overall ad requests are around 19000. Now I'm using link units too, It gets better results. It's 0.54% now from 1,682 ad requests and the coverage is 3.80% at the moment. Should I run only text ads because these image ads seem to be quite bad(at least for me now)? I would like to improve the both's CTR and I hope you can help in this. Please take a look on my site and share your thoughts. You can find it in my siganture. Thank you very much.
if your traffic is from social networks then I think that ctr is good, but if this traffic is organic then you surely have to keep playing with ad placement till you get good enough ctr... also other thing I see on your site is your ad is sliding and i am not sure about this, but i think its against google adsense tos... you can wait for experts advice on this...
Thanks for your reply Preetam! Yeah, more than half of my traffic is from social networks/bookmarking sites. It seems I will have to focus on Google traffic now and it might improves the CTR. I found this about sliding google ads: http://productforums.google.com/for...tive-account-working-with-adsense/QHSL_tTAVTQ Thanks for saying! I will change it.
jvyzsy, did you approve your adsense account by this website? I have a site which have many many post by different kind of image but not any article or description. Should I apply for adsense account by this site? thank you.
Yeah, by this site, you shouldn't have any problems if you don't violate the TOS. My site got approved in a few days.
