Hello DPers, just a few days ago I started to turn again google adsense on my site, but the result of the ad that I get does not match what I expected, only got 1-3 clicks from the 300 view. Can you give suggestions for better ad placement on my site? Thanks & Regards Chanif Al-Fath Owner & Programmer of Ipadwallsdepot
You could do with making some layout changes to incorporate the big rectangle ads in to the site. In testing when I placed a tall skyscraper on the same page as a 300x250 the 300x250 ad got over 20 times the click the skyscraper ad did (Over a month of testing). I've never used a skyscraper ad since, I always recommend the 336x280 (but it rarely fits in a site as it's too damn big) or the 300x250. Make them text/image as google itself states that this will earn 36% more on average than text only will. Also ditch the link units as they just seem to lower CPC. Also remove the 728x90 at the top which also has a poor CTR and is just pushing your content down the page.
