Quadrupled my CTR thanks to DP members.

Well, it's a prebuilt template Im using from someone's theme. And I can't seem to adjust it properly yet.

My thought was, if I could just get an image rotation script inside the header somehow, I could just rotate the entire image in the header.

 

wastefull... is it on all pages or just the home?

 

It's on all the pages of the main blog area, yes. The only place it isnt is on the archive pages which runs on a different script.

 

Think I may have to nclude some images above my adsense ads and test the results

 

yirmumah, yer as it is one image rotating the images will be a pain..

so

in style.css add the following between #adSense and #supernav:

#adImages {

	position: absolute;
	top: 140px;

	left: 47.8%;
	width: 728px;
	margin: 0 0 0 -360px;
	padding: 0 0 0 20px;

	}

Code (markup):

then in your main page file (index.html or whatever) add the following between the supernavcontainer and adsense tags:

<div id="adImages">
    <table width="728" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr>
        <td width="182" align="left"><img src="adImage1.jpg" width="160" height="65"></td>
        <td width="182" align="left"><img src="adImage2.jpg" width="160" height="65"></td>
        <td width="182" align="left"><img src="adImage3.jpg" width="160" height="65"></td>
        <td width="182" align="left"><img src="adImage4.jpg" width="160" height="65"></td>
    </tr></table>
</div>

Code (markup):

You will need to then replace your header image with this one:


and also add the following (you will need to change the path to them in the above code unles you stick them in the web root:

http://img268.echo.cx/img268/5637/adimage28ia.jpg <- would not let me post any more images
http://img268.echo.cx/img268/4669/adimage34mt.jpg
http://img268.echo.cx/img268/6714/adimage46xg.jpg



B A M !

you now have the ability to swap out any of the images I have tested this in firefox and IE

ooo make a backup of anything you change b4 changing it of course..

 

Excellent man! Thank you for the help-- I think I know exactly how to get all that in there now... you ROCK! I'll let you know when I have it up

 

Well when its done do say.. cos I got another idea

 

Someone here did a rotating image script... I use the following, but it will not work properly for obvious reasons (1 image per)

<!--
var rand_int = Math.floor(Math.random()*4);
var photos = new Array(0)
photos[0] = 'test4 <br><br> <img src="images/test4">';
photos[1] = 'test3 <br><br> <img src="images/test3">';
photos[2] = 'test2 <br><br> <img src="images/test2">';
photos[3] = 'test1 <br><br> <img src="images/test1">';
document.write(photos[rand_int]);
// -->

This code is so easy to use, anyone have a nice simple code I can use for the four images?

 

yir... whats your site written in? PHP/ASP/OTHER ?

 

Ok-- thats all done. Thank you much--- Right now it looks like it's all PHP based stuffage.

 

cool
well im off to bed.. so will have a play in the morning.. but I would rename your header.jpg to header2.jpg or something as return visitors will have had it cached and I had to clear my cache to get it to show without the images in it.

 

Doesn't the Student Credit Card site break the adsense TOS by having so many adsense bars in it?

 

adsense bars? you can only have 3, more than 3 just does not work.

 

You are allowed to have 3 ad units, as well as an ad links unit, on each page.

i started putting images above my ads and my CTR did increased =) thanks critters!

now im thinking of putting an image next to a medium rectangle ad.
urhm any of you guys have the codes for putting an image next to a medium rectangle add?

 

You mean like this www.newcomputer.ca

scroll down...

 

something like that,but i only want to put one image next to it.on the right of the ads,to be specific.

 

due to your idea I think im going to redesign my site, put the navigation at the top instead of the left and then put a horizontal ad block under/over the nav or maybe the bottom like on that piggie site. BTW congrats on that pig site. I heard about it on a chat i was in. Then a couple days later I find out the site is owned by a DPer. Very successful. Now you need to work on a way to get the server to analyze the pig drawings

 

lol
yes, pig recognition software Could try and search the 400,000 images to find the closest match

 

How is that setup working for ya, NC? Looks a little plain, but would be interested to see if people are clicking more.
