Question about ad placement on my pages

riverbirch · 02-12-2007, 04:20 PM

Hi,

I hope this is the right forum. I have a question about the placement of my adsense ads, particularly on the pages where my articles are. www.gardenlistings.com/Perennials.htm for instance. I'm trying avoid looking like one of those made for adsense sites. I know when I end up on one of those sites I instinctively hit the back button. Of course I want paople to see them but I'm just wondering if I should keep them out of the article itself. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

I would like to suggest that you place on the end of the article one 728x90 leaderboard, same colours you use on the other block. Use a diferent channel to track results.

Place on link unit 160x90 (4 links) on the left column...track the results with a different channel.

Then tell us the results...

I like to put adsense on the left hand side of the page and at the bottom after the articles. This seems to produce a good CTR while not appearing to be a made for adsense site.
All the best,
Rebecca

while I'm no expert - something I read recently made me think - as the highest paid adds are shown first - if you place only one add block - you'll allways get the highest return

Design it for what you would like to see!

That's true. If possible use 160x600 - this generates the most revenue on my sites. When I started my site I didn't even know about AdSense.

I had to implement AdSense into an exisiting layout which wasn't designed for AdSense. For example, check http://www.aqua-fish.net/show.php?cu...article&id=131 to see how I did it. It is different for fish/plants/biotopes, but I'm not here to spam forum with my links. Check the rest of my site for other ads by yourself.
