  • me too, my adsense conversion rate is quite bad too
  • Because your visitor numbers are too low.

    A personal friend of mine sold his Adsense site for $700k in December. Clearly Adsense works.

  • Hello Mardo, We would need a bit more information about your site to give you some solutions. Are the visitors coming from organic search? where do you have your adsense blocks right now?
  • Visitors come from Twitter and blog catalog, from search engines too (not very much). Adsense blocks are before post (At the begining of post). One block is in sidebar.

    • if they are coming from twitter, or social bookmarking sites, etc, forget getting clicks, it's poor targeted traffic... focus on getting traffic from search engines, these result in clicks

      remove the block in the side bar...

      Place one under the first paragraph and one just above the last paragraph.

      color the link blue, and text a dark grey, and display url same color as the title link.

      Black works well too, ie, black title link, black text or gray text, and black display url.

      or red title link, gray description text, and red display url.

      use 336x226 ads, they convert better... allow them to wrap around the content, so content is on the right and the ad is on the left

      less ads you have on the page, higher you're paid
      Less impressions overall = higher payout

      Ssshhh, don't tell anyone

  • This is true, adsense is not as profitable as it once was. I think the main reason for this is because many people know that these are paid ads, and that turns people off. Some sites have better conversion rates, depending on your industry. It also depends on where the ads are placed. You can't really expect to make very much money with adsense unless your site gets a lot of traffic.
  • ^^^ I am in complete agreement.

    Social network traffic is very bad when it comes to coverting them into ad clicks. One of the major problems is that this traffic is ad blind. By that I mean they have seen so many ads that they just don't even notice stuff like adsense ads anymore.

    Another reason is most social traffic is coming because you asked them to, or pointed them in the right direction, not because they were out there actively searching for what you have to offer.

    I would suggest trying to do some link building, and working hard on your content to improve your SERPs and your organic traffic.
  • I guess people are now more aware of Adsense Ads and are too much accustomed to see Google Ads on almost every site now so they probably don't look at it and simply read between the lines !

    You can try with different Ad dimension variations, color combinations to avoid 'Ad Blindness'. Use channels to track the performance of the particular Ad type.
  • 336x226 are the best. You need to integrate them into your site. The best position is in the middle of the page.

    However it depends on the niche. For instance, lyrics site usually get 1% CTR while other websites as much as 7%

    With adsense it's all a question of tweaking and building more websites.
  • what is your blog about? Often times the subject mamtter will have a great effect on the CTR
  • i had a site in solar power and it always had CTRs over 24% with the same layout my flooring site only had a CTR of 4-5%
  • Maybe all your visitor is webmaster...so, they not interested with your adsense mate...just blind your adsense and focus at newbie visitors..you'll get good CTR
    Cheerz
  • There are some niches that work REALLY well for adsense, but many don't. You need something that pays really well per click otherwise you're wasting your time.

    There's two types of sites out there:

    Those that get a ton of visitors.
    And those that get a ton of clicks.

    Its almost as if you have to pick one of two routes. I have one site that gets tons of google image traffic but does poorly with adsense and excellent with affiliate sales.

    Another one of my sites gets 200 u/v to a high paying niche and pulls $10 a day without any additional effort. $1-2 clicks through adsense. There's tons of competition and drawing search engine traffic takes time, but once you pull the rankings you can just sit back and collect.
  • It's always ad placement, color and contents that counts when you are talking about CTR. If you have those rightly place as the master Askloz said, you will have a better result.

    thanks Askloz for a great advice.

    • As people have mentioned before, social traffic (twitter, blog catalog, social bookmarking, etc) do not click ads. This traffic is fine if you want to make friends, but very bad if you want to make money.

      If you want to make money with adsense then you need search traffic. Search traffic clicks ads and makes you money. The more search traffic the more likely that your ads will convert for the advertiser and hence the less likely you'll be smart priced which will give you a good cpc.

      If adsense is your monitization model then learn as much as you can about SEO and you'll start earning some decent money.

    • You're welcome

      BTW, it's Loz.

  • LOL.. Now I get it! Traffic from twitter and blog catalog are useless when it comes to ad clicks. They know this kind of stuffs that's why they won't even click a single. I suggest you focus on getting tons of unique visitors from organic searches. In that way, you can even get a single click every single visitor.

    • Another method you could try which I did off the bat on my first pre-made adsense site, was to head over to related forums. The pre-made adsense site was something I was passionate about, so it was easy to mingle and give advice etc. I was getting over 1,000+ unique visitors a week to my site via 4 forums that receive over 10,000 hits a day.

      So give that a try!


  • There are lot of factors which decide conversion ratio for example ad placement , what kind of website you run. Adsense is still very profitable but one should know how to increase clicks. You may get 1000 visitors per day and not even a single click. Also nowadays many people have become adblind so you have to find ways to highlight ads without going against google policies.
  • You didn't happen to post this on other forums, did you?

    Anyways , I've found the best thing with adsense , like any other website is split testing.

    Try different ad positions , colors and the like, make the image pop to the viewer.

    I have one page right now that averages a 3% CTR after testing and it does quite well.

    • Now people are so smart and know about google adsene so they generally dont click on ads. But if they click accidently then you will get a click
  • I think you should provide the ads link in the content also using the hyperlinks....Like you can ask the user to see an example by clicking here...Here will have hyperlink embedded in it...So when some body clicks it the ad will appear to him and the click will be counted!!!
