Not sure if anyone else noticed this, but Google has finally allowed us to place up to 3 adsense ad layouts per page.

neato

finally an official response to that question which is not muddy

thebassman · 09-01-2004, 04:59 PM

LOL... exactly. Now I can run adsense as a default to banner ads on my site, without worrying about breaking the google tos.

Great to know. But does this really affect anything?

i think you'll get more clicks ..

thebassman · 09-04-2004, 01:43 PM

Yeah, it means you can put more ads on your page... the more ads you show, the more likely you are to get clicks = more money.

samer · 09-06-2004, 06:46 AM

i think 3 ads are too much .. 2 are good.

JayM · 09-06-2004, 08:19 AM

*sigh* I'm going to be seeing nothing but bloomin adsense ads covering everyones pages now...............

younghistorians · 09-06-2004, 11:59 AM

Anyone know if Google will be discounting clicks for multiple ads per page?

thebassman · 09-06-2004, 02:05 PM

I doubt it, but your eCPM will be lower probably... I've gone with 2 on most pages now... you hardly notice the new ones, though... they're next to the quick reply in my phpbb forum

JayM · 09-06-2004, 03:47 PM

adsense ads will become the next pop ups... annoying. im working on my adsense blocker

thebassman · 09-06-2004, 05:41 PM

Why do you find adsense annoying? Usually they can be intergrated well into pages... I think they're great, both for the advertiser (adwords), and the publisher (adsense).

JayM · 09-06-2004, 05:49 PM

Oh at the minute i think they are great! It's a good deal for all - but the next level is 3 blocks on a page..... Then what? I just think like everything they will go to far.

Soon i'll be visiting pages that have 3 pop ups/unders - 3 adsense blocks, 3 banners, 30 text links .......

Wheres the actual content? Alright i'm a pessimist.

thebassman · 09-06-2004, 08:39 PM

Yeah, obviously some people will take it too far... but in general, I think Adsense and similar type ads are a good inovation, not a bad one.

If there become adsense pop-ups and what-not, maybe I'll start agreeing with you...

JayM · 09-06-2004, 08:47 PM

Ill get my adsence blocker ready for that day......

Intead of adsense ads - it will display pics of hot chicks....

Agreed. But it really depends on the depth and breadth of the page.

thebassman · 09-06-2004, 09:15 PM

Yeah... if they can be integrated well, a lot of times, they're hardly noticable - the good thing about them is, if done right, they're no nearly as annoying and intrusive as traditional banner ads and pop-ups...

hulkster · 09-06-2004, 10:01 PM

My guess is this will result in more clicks ... BUT ... since you are serving up the "second-tier" of Adwords results, they will be worth less so you cents/click-thru will probably go down.

thebassman · 09-06-2004, 10:56 PM

Yeah, that's what I've noticed... more clicks, but my effective CPM is a little lower...

samer · 09-07-2004, 05:41 AM

an adsense block eh ? .. i think its kinda useless, since Textlinks are not annoying, it's those popups and banners that really annoy a user
