Hey guys, just starting out with AdSense and IM in general. Got into this 1 month ago and created this site. I know now, that recipe sites suck at monetizing but nevertheless I want to increase my CTR, which is ATM at 1%.
It's a german site =)


(I'm not allowed to post links yet? wtf

Just send me a message! Id be so pleased if someone could look over it

I'm willing to learn!

Cheers

      Right after the ingredients, add a big block justified to the left and not wrapped. Change the colors as well to the default colors to make them stand out as well. Also add a big block to the bottom after everything. That should help a bit but I don't think a recipe site would do well with adsense.

    I have had a lot of success with placing a picture ad, at the end of the post before the comment section. I find that people are done and ready to click on something anyway, then they see a relevant ad and think, "Why Not" I was leaving anyway.

    I will say test everything because it makes a difference. We can only give you advice, but the particulars of every blog is different.

    The ad that I put at the end, was centered at first. Then I put it off to the right, by accident and almost got no clicks. I put it to the left and Jackpot, a .2 % click thru rate. For me that was high.

    There is no way that anyone could have known that.

    Ad placement is free to try so keep trying until it works.

      Recipe sites don't suck but you have an uphill battle against bigger sites...I have a recipe site that is 5 years old and brings in decent money every month. But I also have over 3000 recipes.

        Hi,

        For me placing 4-5 ad placements worked.

        But I am also looking for other ad networks also which can pay fixed on monthly basis like BSA.
