10. TIPS, HELP, RESOURCES

1. Location, Location, Location…

Just as with most marketing efforts, the same is true for Google AdSense.

As an example, if your site is displaying the typical “F” pattern ad layout (a 728×90 leaderboard as header, and a 160×60 tower block on the left- and maybe even an extra ad or link unit) then you’re not just showing the top-paying ads, you’re also showing a lot of the ads with lower values too. If your site triggers ads in the $1+ range, you’re hurting your own pocketbook. While the abovementioned “F” pattern layout (based on findings of viewing ‘hotspots’ - from Google too) has often been regarded as the best placement for Adsense, it is being proven by many to not be that effective. Why? Because these multiple ad panels trigger lower paying keywords that are “outside” of your content, not within it. When Adsense ads are placed within the content, it generally performs better on average. We have experienced this while testing different Adsense placement models. One site we manage had a 20% increase in CTR when replaced the ‘fully packed’ ad layout with a more spartan and simple 468×60 text ad block within the body of the content.

OK, so I don’t know much about this - server stuff - but what is discussed in the digitalpoint forums makes sense to me… for larger sites with lots of content and domain aliases (www.yourdomain.com alias = yourdomain.com), this is something that needs to be paid attention to. Also if you have multiple domains pointing to a primary content bearing domain.

We had this problem here at 3RSV5…

Any time we floated an image in a post, IE would render the first line of text after the float with a fake, false indent. There are several instances of right and left floats that cause IE to display the wrong way, but hey, that’s IE.

We used the simple solution… ‘display:inline;’ worked quite nicely…. see the code snippet from our CSS below:

If you’ve got a website, and you don’t mind having some simple text ads shown anywhere you want on your page, Google will pay you to ‘rent’ the space, as it were… (Just like the text ads at the top and left of this page - you’ll notice it says ‘Ads by Google’ near the ads.)
