Why do so many people delete"advertise on the site"?

What do you mean with "until the traffic is enough to warrant CPM"? Could you (or someone else) please elaborate?

 

I disable it so it blends better with your site.

 

You dont get paid more if they request to advertise on your site do you?

 

I don't think anybody will want to advertise on my site and that's why I removed it My earnings did raise a little lately, I don't know if it is related

 

i leave it there too.. if an advertiser decides to bid, then the potential earnings per click will be higher and more competitive ads placement takes place.. of course ad blindness will be reduced if you took it out... need to experiment it more.. maybe wait for google to introduce a system to monitor by page instead of all sites from 1 account.. will be better if they can actually give us some commissions if an advertiser sign up through our site but unfortunately thats not the case...

 

I guess it just depends on the aesthetic preference owner

 

My advise is take it off if you're getting less than 5000 impressions per day per ad. Leave it on if it's more. High impressions ads tends to attract bidders to sponsor the ad space.

 

I didn't know this, thanks for the heads up.

 

I removed the link too, thanks for this post I never knew you could do that

 

Removed it and made more money.

 

I've now removed it. Not noticed any difference in revenue yet but I think it was only today it kicked in. What I have noticed, though, on a 728x90 ad on one of my sites is that not only has "Advertise on this site" gone but so has "Ads by Goooooogle" It only seems to be on the leaderboard size ad.....Anyone else found this?

EDIT : Update on this. It's only when displaying 4 ads in the leaderboard. When displaying 3 the "Ads by..." bit is back. Curious....

 

If someone choose to advertise on your site it will NOT decrease your earnings, if the advertiser does not bid high enough, other non site targeted ads will show instead.

 

It improved my CTR when I removed it a month back. Blends better...

 

If Google pays me an affiliate commission I'll be glad to put it back on

 

Is this true? An extra 0.35 per 1000 impressions if you leave it on?

 

You must have the most creative avatar I've after seen... well... after me of course.

 

I think people here are confused about this. By removing the message on your ads, you aren't taking yourself out of being bid on for CPM ads. People can still bid on your site. They just won't know they can by looking at the ads on your site.

People have taken it off of their sites because that message doesn't blend well. If the ad doesn't blend well, the CTR is lower.

 

I took it off because the CPM was terrible, not because the CTR was lower.

 

I will put it back when I start to get 1m visitor a month lol ...
