Ad Placement Help

Got all placement done perfect now thanks chris

1. Put more than 1 unit per page.

2. On your index move your 728 to the top right under your menu. Repeat this placement on every page of your site.

3. on product pages, try putting the 428 under the bar graphs.

Chris take a look at the homepage now you can use the same links as before.

What do you think of positions now, i added a footer adsense leaderboard since you said to have more link units, and the product page managed to get it under the graph however on the product pages now their are 3 link units seems like a little to much. Does the footer leader board usually get any hits or should i take it off?

My CTR on my homepage went up to like 15 percent chris thanksss. the lowest it gets is like 10 percent which i think is great.

Glad my advice helped.

You should run a different channel for each ad unit to check individual performance, but yes, the footer board makes money. CPM ads sometimes get stuck in there, which pay you even if the ad isn't clicked (or viewed because the user never scrolls down).

You shouldn't expect to make much off of it, I do around $0.3 CPM on my footer ad on my literature site, but that is still pretty good for something most visitors never see.

And no, 3 ads on the page isn't too much because they are space out. On my 1280 resolution I can only ever see 2 at the same time.

On some pages of my literature site I'll have like 7 ads on the page (obviously not all adsense). But with 4000 words of text or more you can space the ads out so there aren't too many on the screen at the same time.

Do you ever get like in a matter of minutes a lot of clicks, that is above your normal number im afraid someone is just clicking all my ads because i got a huge number of clicks in a very short period of time way above average, and i dont want google thinking anything bad, it at a 109 dollar ECPM and a 30 percent CTR should i email google or something?

[Chris]

Yes, email them that you think someone may be maliciously clicking on your ads and that they should look into it and you're not involved in the activity. That being said... with the right optimizations and not-quite-engaging content a 30% CTR isn't unfathomable.
