HELP PLEASE!!!! My Adsense CTR Rate is Pathetic. Anyone have some quality CTR Tips???
- SEO |
I keep hearing other people on the Warrior forum talking about getting insanely high CTR's. Even a more conservative warrior has claimed a 5% CTR average. Which is not even high in comparison to some of the big claims on here.
Things I've tried:
1. High CTR themes such as Clickbump and CTR Theme
2. Changing the ad colour to blend into the sites theme colour.
3. Trying about a million different templates
4. Testing on multiple different niches.
5. Placing ads above the fold
After testing for quite awhile and changing WP themes regularly, I am struggling to find a decent CTR. The traffic for my site(s) are actually pretty good. So I am making decent money. But if I was capable of a reasonable CTR, I'd be doing a lot better. This seems to be the one area of adsense publishing that I suck at.
Possible reasons I SUCK:
1. Niche's are not click happy
- I've thought about this. And for of my niches, this could be the case. But I have multiple niches with adsense and I highly doubt they are both this crappy.
2. Visitors have too much ad blindness.
- Not sure if the ads are just placed in a way that's easy to ignore perhaps.
Conclusion:
My CTR is terrible. I am currently using a Clickbump theme (xfactored 2.0) and am not seeing any CTR improvments. The theme has been great for SEO though. Any changes that I try and make have only decreased my CTR so far. I'm still looking for optimal position but feel like I'm missing something.
Does anyone have any advice or tips that have drastically improved their CTR.
PS. Of course, I don't have any adsense site available for you to look at. This is because I value my adsense account to highly. I really do not want to be banned from google for click bombing, or sharing private adsense information. But, as mentioned earlier, I am using the standard clickbump Xfactored 2.0 template. Perhaps some clickbump users have some tweaks that they don't mind sharing.
