Improve your AdSense implementation for the holidays
Tuesday, December 07, 2010
The holidays are drawing near. As advertisers try to reach more potential customers, now is the best time to increase ad coverage on the pages of your site.
We want to work with you to help optimize your AdSense implementation, and have provided our top optimization tips below. If you’re interested in trying out some of these suggestions, please
sign up
before December 15th, 2010. An AdSense optimization specialist will contact you by email or phone to implement the tips you want to try, and we may feature some of you on our Inside AdSense blog!
First, we want to remind you that you're allowed to put three standard AdSense for content ad units, three link units, and two AdSense for search boxes on each page of your site.
Choose the right ad units for your pages
.
As a general rule of thumb,
wider ad units
perform better because they:
Are easier for users to read and interact with
Allow more ads to be displayed within a unit
Are preferred by advertisers designing image or video ads
Also, remember to opt in to display text and
image ads
, as this increases the pool of advertisers competing to appear on your site.
Improve your AdSense implementation by increasing ad coverage on your site.
Put ads on pages that don’t currently have any, as this increases the chances of monetizing your site’s traffic. This is especially true for the high traffic areas of your site.
Our
data shows
that placing ads within the page content or article text, or near the navigational areas of your site, can strongly increase ad performance, since it gives your users relevant ads alongside the great content that they’re used to.
Use
link units
to monetize the smaller areas on your site.
Above all: the most effective change you can make is to put at least one ad unit above the fold -- the section of the page users see without scrolling down.
Don’t forget to
sign up
! We'll then check your site and get back to you.
We look forward to seeing your implementations!
