SIMPLE ADSENSE TRICKS

I don’t remember where I
first came across this tip
but I do remember reading
that it ’ll helped some
people get a higher Click
Through Rate (CTR) for the
ads on their website. I ’m
not too sure if it actually
works for everyone but I do
think that it ’ll definitely
make your ads blend in
better with text and media.
This Adsense hack works by
removing the ‘Advertise on
this site‘ text that shows up
with every Adsense unit on
your website.
Here’s a screen shot of
what I am referring to:
Removing the ‘Advertise
on the Site’ Link
Log in to your Google
Adsense account and click
on the ‘My Account‘ tab.
After which, scroll down
the page until you reach
the ‘Onsite Advertiser
Siteup‘ section. Click on
the edit link.
Now, just untick the box
which includes your
website in the Onsite
Advertiser signup
program . (More info on
the On-site advertiser
signup program here.)
Viola! And you’re done.
Now the ‘Advertise on
this site‘ link is removed
from all the ads served to
your websites. The only
downside for this tweak is
that it won ’t be so easy for
Advertisers to target ads
specifically for your site.
However I think the
benefits of removing this
link outweighs the cost for
most bloggers. Here are
some reasons why:
A larger percentage of
visitors to your website
are end-users and not
advertisers.
Most advertisers will not
want to put up specific
ads on relatively new/
obscure blogs or blogs
with low traffic
Removing the link makes
it far easier to blend ads
with text – which
ensures higher CTR
I think that leaving the On-
site advertising link up will
be beneficial for websites
that are very popular,
because advertisers often
want their ads to go out to
as many relevant eyeballs
as possible. But if your
website doesn ’t fall into
that category, why not try
this tip to see if it actually
improves your blog ’s
Adsense click through rate?
My suggestion would be to
set it up for two weeks in
order to observe the
number of clicks you
receive on each ad channel.
After monitoring the
results, you can decide if
you want to keep the
change or revert back to
the default ad setup.
Alternatively, if there is no
significant improvement
you could try rearranging
your ad placement to see if
it ’ll bring better results.
What do you think of this
simple Adsense tweak? Do
you think it ’ll actually
improve your Adsense CTR?
