Am I using adsense and Amazon affiliates effectively on my site?
1st question: My website has some very long articles, filled with a lots of pictures and I am wondering if it is hurting my page loading time. Also I am wondering if it would make for a better user experience if I split my longer articles up into 2 or 3 pages. I hate websites that split a paragraph into 5 pages, but some of my articles are like a book. I assume this would increase pageviews on the site and also I would be able to put adsense ads on each page.
2nd question: The site is a technical how-to site that teaches people how to powder coat. Powder Coating: The Complete Guide I have a sidebar ad on the right side which makes almost no money and it is pretty much just there because I don't know what else to put on the site. I also put 2 ads into the articles, centered. Usually right under the first paragraph and then also right before the last paragraph. In everyone's experience, is there a better way? I am very hesitant about changing around my ad format, because it seems like when I do, my earnings drop for like a week. This has made me scared to test.
Alternatives I was thinking of is to put an ad and a relevant picture side by side using the same sizes. Also I was thinking about dropping the sidebar ad and running 3 ads inside the article instead of 2.
3rd question: Since the topic of my site is powder coating, I link to tools needed using amazon affiliates. This is an example of the way I have been doing it: (underlined would be the link to appropriate product)
Does the above example show good use of the affiliate links or is there a better way?
I greatly appreciate any help received from the forum.
