Please Review Ad Placement

Discussion in 'Reviews' started by bested, May 24, 2008.

    The site is http://vitalpixel.com

    I thought I put my ads in good places, but I haven't gotten any clicks since the launch of the site.

    The site gets about 200 pageviews per day, and increasing, but it hasn't made any revenue/had any clicks in adsense.

    Is that normal? Are other people not able to see the ads? Are clicks not counting?

    thanks :D

    I don't think it's such a good spot. I would try and integrate ads into the articles.

    I think the ad placement is good you should focus on driving more traffic to the site.

    Not bad, but the one at the bottom will probably be useless. Overall I'd say that you just need more ads. Sneakily integrate them into your articles. Try and get it so that there's always one ad wherever you are looking at the website.

    Even though it blends as is, I find title's in blue convert better.
    I find it hard to keep blue, as it doesn't match my site so well, but when the clicks are not so good I convert back to blue.



    Good luck with your website
    Cheers

    Get your stats report, sort out the pages that have maximum hits, place the ad on the pages on the right spot. With 200 page views you should at least get $0.15 to $0.50. Remove the image ads and place border less text ads.

    I would put the ads on the side, rather than inside. Or make them standout a little, so it looks like something I would click rather than read...

    If I was a regular site visitor, I'd probably gloss over the first adsense block under your "All your clicks" banner. I think pretty much the same as those in-between posts. That bottom ad probably will be the lowest converting one...it's almost an "after-thought" position.

    ok, so I switched to adbrite to see how it would work out for a while
    I put the first ad block next to the pages on the right

    the only other ads are inline, and underneath the comment box
    (plus the page ads.. :D)

    I think you should integrate ads with your article to get clicks
