Hello, I was thinking about starting to advertise with adsence, does anyone do so here? IF so, are you happy witht he results?

Hey, I'm with adsense (Counter Strike site in sig, to see them).
I'm very happy with the results, if you theme them right, they fit right in, and people click on them. My CTR went up as soon as I made them more integrated with my sites colours. However, I don't like the image options introduced by google, they look pretty ugly atm, and there is no way of controlling the colours

but the standard text links work great for me, i get around 25,000 PageViews/day, (3000-4000 Unique), but on low traffic sites the revenue may not be too great. I earn enough on them, and am very happy.

We are not allowed to say how much we get! Its not much but its as good if not better than most other affiliates and there are no banners.

I'm thinking Atlien is talking about advertising with them - not showing them on the site. In other words, his ads would show up on your site possibly.

Johan007 · 05-21-2004, 07:19 AM

ahhh ok is that not done with Google adwords?

Most big pay per click management firms were mad at pricing issues stating that click price is on average worth about 20% - 30% of the same retail clicks on search engines.

Kevin Lee recently stated that the new smart pricing technology has recently made AdSense ads profitable for many companies that could not use the service profitably not that long ago.

My suggestion would be to fine tune your campaign before turning on content ads since they do not factor into to price per click feedback mechanism.

In addition some people set up two exact same accounts. On the expensive ones they disable content ads. On the cheap duplicate then enable content syndication. For some people this has been effective.

you are thinking of adWords Chris. It is the google PPC, adsense takes their ads from adwords.

ATLien · 05-21-2004, 07:16 PM

oh, well adwords then.

pcarlow · 05-21-2004, 09:14 PM

For only $5 to open an account and a minimum of only five cents a bid it is definitley worth giving it a try. For your linkin park forum people may join your site who would of other wise never thought to look for a forum. I've had some success using Adwords and think it's a good investment for finding new customers.

I was thinking of using it for Graphics Central.

thebassman · 05-22-2004, 03:16 PM

I'm pretty sure I will be using it for MemoriesBox.com when it's ready to go (any week now!). I'm just worried I'll spend to much before trying... but I guess you can set daily limits, right?

pcarlow · 05-22-2004, 03:57 PM

Yes, you can set a daily limit on how much you want to spend. Also the stats update pretty quickly in my experience so it's easy to make adjustments on the fly if you don't like the way things are going.

thebassman · 05-22-2004, 03:58 PM

Nice, thanks.
