The AdSense Placement Thread

Update: This thread is now closed. Thank you for your submissions.

Alrighty. The title pretty much says it all. For a limited time only ;-) you can drop a link to your blog in this thread and the Performancing community will try its best to give you advice on: 1. Location of your adsense ads, 2. Color and style of your adsense ads.

Performance in action.

    Hi Ryan,

    I just went through a major blog redesign with my Freelance Writing Jobs blog.

    Originally though my ads were at eye level, they didn’t blend in too well. My income was ok, but with 1500 – 2000 daily visitors, I knew it could be better. Jason Oliver redesigned and blended the ads much better, since then, my revenue tripled.

    Best,

    Deb

    Would like to seek your advise for my blog – http://felixker.com .

    It isn’t doing well though I get some visitors.

  4. felixker says:

    I also would like to change my theme to a new one, similar to Performancing.com, simple yet attractive. I like having more space for content and a sidebar.

    Please advise if there’s any theme I can switch to.

    Hi Ahmed,

    Would like some advice as well. Hope you can make something out of the site, since it’s all in Dutch ;) Thanks!

    1 – the right-sidebar – what’s the CTR on it? If it’s less than 0.5% then I’d suggest you drop it and put something else there.

    2 – Put a 300×250 ad at the end of each post.

    3 – A 468×90 banner ad at the start of each post would be good as well.

    4 – I’d experiment with putting the auctionads and reviewme blocks above the AdSense, and adding a 300×250 adsense block at the bottom of the main page.

  7. Ahmed Bilal says:

    Hey mate

    1 – I’d left-align that ad block at the end of each post instead of centering it.

    2 – I would also add a right-floated ad block inside each post.

    3 – Not a big fan of putting AdSense in the sidebar – mainly because you’ve got a book and you want to give max exposure to that.

    4 – Ads between Posts and at the end of the main page. I’ll write about both of these techniques, so watch Perf next week.

  8. Ahmed Bilal says:

    1 – two suggestions – either go with a 468px banner below the post title or widen the middle column and put a 300×250 ad block below the feed block (above the latest posts). In any case, please ditch the AdSense block at the top – it kills usability.

    2 – ad blcok at the end of the posts

    3 – On the main page, you asked for info on how to put ads between posts – will put it up tomorrow.

  9. Ahmed Bilal says:

    Deb, I absolutely LOVE the way you’ve blended your ads. Major props to your designer. The sidebar contrast is fantastic, and I’m going to be that the sidebar skyscraper gets more CTR than regular sidebar adsense.

    There are a few things I’d add / change – ads between posts, for one, but for the single post pages, maybe you could bring the ad block that’s above the title, inside the post and blend it better?

    And a left-aligned 300×250 at the end.

    Anyway, been to your site before so pleased to see the new version and once again, loved the ad blending.

  10. Ahmed Bilal says:

    Nice blog – I kept reading down to the end of the first page.

    A couple of things that I’d say:

    1 – yes, change the theme – hopefully one of the WordPress Themes at Performancing will do for you.

    2 – If you’re going to put ads in it, put them in the sidebar above the fold instead of the way you’ve done on your latest post. If you’re not putting them in the sidebar, a banner ad above the posts would do.

    3 – If you use a new theme, you can blend your ads better by putting them inside the content instead of above them. It’s a tradeoff between readibility and CTR.

    4 – Adblock at the end of your posts.

  11. Ahmed Bilal says:

    1 – On the single post page, I’d bring the ad block on the right inside the post and blend it in – because right now it’s close to be non-existent).

    2 – Try a left-aligned 300×250 ad block instead of a 468px banner at the end of each post

    3 – Based on your blog topic, you can try affiliate ads in place of the ad block in the sidebar – although you’ll have to use the right colours to make sure that the ads stand out.

  12. Ahmed Bilal says:

    Thanks a lot for your submissions guys – I’m closing this thread now. Based on the recommendations made here and on a few of the requests made here (how to put ads between posts, at the end of posts, time-sensitive adsense, etc), I’ll be doing a series of articles on it starting Monday, 16th July.

  13. SharonHH says:

    Thanks, Ahmed. I’ll try those.

    I had worked with ppts currently working with Google, very pleased.

  18. I put 2 ads in my Napa Destinations blog. I think I’m going to change the 468 x 60 in “comments” to 300 x 250. What do you think?

  19. terjemahan, But wouldn’t it open up AdSense to exploitable abuse, as has happened with Blogger/BlogSpot and spam blogs?
    thanks,

    I have one big on the top center and an other between posts. but it doesn’t matter. People don’t really are motivated on the pub but on following you and having clicks.
    thanks
