My thought on Ads Placement for Adsense

cucat · 10-03-2009, 11:02 AM

Hi all, I don't just know this will be helpful or not, but here are some what I learned from my friend and myself in ads placement for Adsense.

1/ Put Ads on left or right position ?

- My friend told me that, when people look thing which are on his left side, he will look and just scan it, but on the top left side, that is the first thing people see (Based on Golden Triangle of Google)

- When an ads appears on the right side of the reader, for the first time come to the site, they almost won't realize it, but when you can make it appear "differently" with the rest, that means, after scan the page, they will notice that ads, and they not just scan, they "read" the ads, and they will easily more click the ads,...

This is just a small fun stuff with left brain, right brain...and I found it works well for me and my friend.

So you just need to decide, which side is good for you. You can try to change the ads position for several days and check the difference. For the combination of left and right positions for ads, I think a lense page in Squidoo.com did it well.

2/ Do not put ads on the first page (index) of your side

Those who play with XFactor course, for just myself, I found that it is better to not put Adsense ads on the index page. Why ?

Because, when people come to site for the main keyword, if the first page has not ads, and just have content, they will read the content, if they found it good, they click to the second page. Here is what you should put the ads like XFactor template. Just the same template but with this ads placement for second page, people will "notice" more with the ads, and maybe they will "read" not scan although the ads is on the left side.

Hope this help you guys,

Have a nice day ^_^

I don't think the idea is to get visitors to "spend time" on the website. This is why you place that ad's before the bulk of your content. You WANT the visitor to click on the ad immediately and leave your site through it. If they nose around; good, but you want them to not be compelled to read the content. You want them to feel the urge to click the ad right away.

I agree to sara, most people would just enter the site and see if the site is relevant. If it is irrelevant, they might just click on the Adwords for better options.

Yes your information helpful but I have some different opinion about what you wrote in the last para i.e. no placement of ad in the first page and placement ad at the second page. If you place ad in the second page and the content of first page of website not good then your ad will not see or read by anyone. So I guess you can place ad at first page and if anyone do not click second page to read content your ad have chance to click by the visitor, if not visit your ad at they will look and when they see your same in another website or other place they may eager to click on it.

I also agree Sara. If your site isn't what they're looking for and you don't provide adsense to click on they'll just hit back or close.
