Trick I learned from google employee yesterday

Thats quite interesting, so far I believed that they calculated it for each unit separately.

Have you made the required changes on your website and any increase in overall revenues so far?

Thanks

If you have three ads showing up on a page then look at CTR of each one of those ads. You should create your website in a way that the ad which gets most CTR should be the first one that you load.

The way he explained is that google fills the top paying ads first, and then not so top paying ads. For example, top paying ad might pay you 34 cents. Second top might pay you 26 cents. Third one might pay you 14 cents.

In most of the websites (including mine), the ad unit which was getting the most CTR was the one which was loaded last. So instead of making 34 cents, I am making 14 cents.

So, just by making changes as to which ad unit loads first, I will increase my revenue.

Nice trick, isn't it? :-)

How do you do that?

Thanks

I guess the first ad is really the first ad that it's found in the HTML code of the page. If you're using CSS and know your way around the code you can easily change which ad loads first by placing the <div> that contains the winning ad close to the top of the page.

I do have one observation of my own though... Whenever I use 3 ads on the page, the pay per click decreases. I can usually get more money with one or maximum 2 ads that are placed well (+ a google powered search engine on the site), rather than three ads as they recommend.

Wondering if anyone else has seen similar results?

How would you know which ad will show up when (its all a bit random I think) and then, how would you make the change so that your desired ad block loads first? Also, by the time people scroll down, won't all ads will have loaded? If you have two ad blocks then the chances are one will be at the top and one near the bottom (or middle). If a visitor spends 3 seconds on the page I think all ads will have loaded anyway.

There are two ways to implement this.

First would be through placing your ad code in a div which appears first in the html code and later in design (using css). However, if you just found out this technique, probability is that your site won't be designed for this.

Second, using a Javascript, we can push ads into <div> ad placeholders, in any order. Not sure, if its in line with the policies though.

It is worth reading over the support section as well as the Adsense blog as there is a well of great tips for Adsense publishers.

I haven't implemented it yet. Will take couple of weeks to get this implemented and I will post results here. It is a huge website which gets about 8-10K users a day, and about 60K pageviews a day. So I am hoping that this change will help me out a bit :-)

Nice. I use Adsense passively on my site. But legit advice from an Adsense employee is something worth trying. I dont focus on Adsense primarily - but if it "gets in the way" and i earn money from it, it's all good with me. Nice share.

That's a good trick to use. But how can you designate Google to load a particular ad copy that has less CPC/ PPC. I thought Google automatically select a copy from different ads to show up in search results.

I thought the same as this. How does anyone know, including Google, that the highest paying ad is going to load first? Doesn't it vary hourly/daily/weekly and depend on the niche also?

I'd love a detailed explanation of this method!

Thanks

This is silly.

It would make more sense to fill the top paying ads by CTR than position. Positioning of ads is very subjective to design choices. The CTR determines the relevant positioning based on the user experience. The ad that has the highest CTR is "logically" the first position in it's effectiveness.

So your constantly changing your Ad positions considering there's always bidders dropping out of Adwords & new bidders starting Adwords?

You would have to be changing Ad positions 24/7 - 365 days a year.

I've been running Adsense for 6 years & this technique doesn't make any sense at all.

All you have to do is remove the long term proven low performers from the page/s.

You don't have to do anything of that sort. Read it again, your best performing ad unit (in terms of CTR) should be the first to appear in your site's HTML.

I don't know what your smoking but Adsense doesn't work that way.

Apparently most of the comments on this thread don't have a clue how Adwords PPC auction bids work.

You guys are acting like Adsense is static, lol.

  Dude that's not real life.
  
  I don't have time to sit there all day (everyday) manually switching highest CTR Ad blocks back & forth on every single page.
  
  I get emails all the time from Adsense telling me I need more Ads above the fold, when my content to Ad ratio is right at 50/50 right now, screw that, that's setting yourself up for a fail (ban). Don't believe every little thing you read from Google, their Adsense team defiantly doesn't work with the web spam team. Just saying.
  
  Connect your Adsense to Google Analytics then check that data after a few months & get back with me, you'll know that Ad block conversions aren't sitewide, it's page level. No two pages convert the same.
  
  Thanks
