"When you search the internet for AdSense Placement, you want articles about AdSense Placement, not AdSense in general" "The more specific your ads can be, the more clicks you will get" "Put yourself in the mind of the user. If you're looking for stuff about the New York Giants, you don't want to see stuff advertising the San Francisco Giants." Why you have a Low CTR If you have great ad placement, great colors, and everything in between, you have a low CTR because your ads aren't meeting the reader's needs. Example of Poor Relevancy: Example of Improved Relevancy: What you can do! 1. Competitive ad filter - If you're getting the same advertisements for a lot of your site, and they have nothing to do with your site, use the competitive ad filter to block them. 2. Section Targeting - If you have a lot of junk in your sidebar and outside of your main content area, you may want to make AdSense ignore this area. Trust me, your sidebars and outside of the content area greatly influences your advertisements. 3. Keyword Density - If all else fails, check the keyword density for your main words. This is my favorite tool! If you see that general words are beating out your specific niche for that page, you may want to decrease the general words, and increase the specific niche words. 4. Remove and Replace AdSense code - If all else out of all else fails, remove the Ad Code for that page, and replace it with new code. I believe this will cause the bots to crawl the page to see what it's about. Difference between a 1% and 30% + CTR is Relevancy... You may think your ads are relevant. You write a post about Home Acne Treatment, and they display acne ads. However, that isn't enough. The more specific you can get your ads to be to the content, the more clicks you will get. Remember, put yourself in the mind of the user. If you're looking for stuff about the New York Giants, you don't want to see stuff advertising the San Francisco Giants. Get my drift? I know this seems like common sense, but so many people simply write content and call it good. You really do have to go back and check your keyword densities. Make sure your ads are relevant!
I don't quite understand what you're asking. Did you read my article, or did you skim it? Because it's definitely worth reading. People wonder why they don't get clicks... this is why.
Not really. The first is irrelevant Title: Home Acne Treatment Ad: Treat Teen Acne The second is more relevant Title: Natural Acne Treatment Ad: #1 Organic Acne Treatment "organic" and "natural" match. What's the difference anyway? Just looking for something to pick at? This post will definitely help people... The last thing I'd be worried about is the picture.
this is a good one to consider...and has worked for me. Also another point is to use your use your "Title" keywords appropriately.
Also you need to use all the possibilites adsense allow, adsense search (2), adsense adlinks (3) OK it can look too much, but if you integrate them well to your page, it won't be too much.
