-
- CTR measures the effectiveness of an advertisement. It is
calculated using the following formula that involves the number of
clicks and impressions:
-
- CTR = (Clicks/Impressions) x 100
-
- A high CTR means that it attracts attention and get clicks
often. A low CTR means the ad is under-performing and should be
evaluated further.

impressions

also.
- Move your ads as close to your main content as much as you are
comfortable with.
- Higher Placement is better than lower and left is better than
right.
- Wrap Text around ad units
- Bigger ad formats stand out more and allow for more horizontal
text (easier for users to read and interact with and allow for more
ads to be displayed within a unit).
- Consider exchanging your banner (468x60) with bigger ad units
like the leaderboard (728x90).
- Blend, Complement and Contrast

Ad formats which more closely match the overall look and feel of
your website tend to do better on average.
- Focus your content on each page as much as possible. In other
words, the more coherent the content on the page, the more likely
that the ads which are displayed will be relevant to a visitor. The
more relevant the ad, the more likely the user may click on the ad
link to find other information.

relativity of ads with your content, popularity of your content
niche, and number of ads being displayed on your page.
- 9. Improving CPC

media ads. By increasing the number of advertisers competing for
your ad units, the ad auction will make sure that the highest
paying ad will be shown.
- Keep your filter list small so you dont lower your revenue
potential by blocking the highest-paying ads.
- Increase the number of ads competing for your site by setting
up your custom channels for placement targeting.
- The top-paying ads will be shown in the ad unit that appears
first in your HTML code. Find (CTR) of ad unit by using custom
channels. Then, you can easily change the code of your website to
make sure that your top performing unit is the one with the
highest-bidding ads.

the CPC (Cost Per Click)
- 13. Improving eCPM
- Since eCPM is calculated with earnings divided by impressions,
you need to either increase your earnings per impression or reduce
the number of impressions. (remove ads from low quality
pages/people do not click ads)
- Another way to increase eCPM is to have high revenue, you get
high revenue by either getting more clicks or high paying ads.
- Get More Relevant Adsense Ads - Google Adsense often shows
unrelated ads due to some words triggering wrong ads, Get more
relevant content by using google section targeting as more relevant
ads means more clicks.
- Use less ads - Yes its true, by using less google adsense ads,
you often get higher earnings. The logic is, the lesser the ads,
the more high paying ads will be shown.
- 14. Improving eCPM Cont...
- Remove low paying Adsense advertisers - there is a list of huge
adsense advertisers who pay very less or there are ads are not very
targeted getting less clicks, you can remove such advertisers
through Google competitive Ad Filter (use it with caution)
- Write about high paying topics:- Write about high paying topics
within your niche (keyword Research)
- Improve ad placement (CTR):According to the Google Heat map for
maximum visibility your ads should be placed front and center, at
the top of your main content
- 15. Improving eCPM Cont...
- Decreasing your websites bounce rate will increase your CTR and
eCPM.: If your bounce rate is high then your visitors are likely
closing the browser window or tab holding your website, if this is
the case they arent clicking ads
- What the ads pay varies a lot, what ads you get have some to do
with it. The spider uses the first 100 words (most of the time) of
each page to find words that advertisers are bidding on (key
words), that would be the area to add other words to get other ads
that may pay better .
- Note:Just work on the keywords and the income will go up.
