Not really on the topic of increasing CTR, but it is on the topic of tracking ads to see which ones are doing better than others. I have many websites with adsense on them and seems adsense only allows you so many channels!! I think I have maybe 5 channels left for tracking, is there a way to get more? I went through and made sure all of them were active and they are, I pretty much make a channel for each ad I place, I never use the same ad code anywhere, this way I can track every single ad I have on all my sites, makes it very easy to spot those 0.XX% CTR ads, or the 0.00% CTR ads and get rid of them. Any advice ?

You said -
“Google Adsense will serve lower priced adverts on sites that have poor CTRs, and higher priced adverts on sites that have high CTRs. This calculation is done across a whole Adsense account, not on a site by site basis.”
This is a most revealing comment thank you very much – It explains why my initially good earnings slowly dropped down to nearly nothing per click……

[...] Adsense Section Targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you’d like Google to emphasise or downplay when matching ads to your site’s content. This helps Google match ads to your content, increasing your clickthrough rates and hence your eCPMs. It can also drag your eCPM up further thanks to Smart Pricing. [...]

Hello Everton,

I have two different web hosting accounts and found my cpc went down dramatically. What I did was I kept one adsense serves on one hosting account and with the other I use another ad server. This has been good for me as I can join different ad servers to see which one provides the better cpc. At the same time my one adsense hosted sites has increased in cpc so I concur with you that your idea is quite correct. For others they can do the same thing. High ctr pages keep adsense whereas low ctr pages use a differnet ad server.

As you know my thoughts are that no one will make any money, especially bloggers and webmasters, when they too, refuse to look at the ads served on other sites. It is ad blindness that drives me crazy. It does not hurt to have a click here and there for something that interests you. I have even bought stuff through a few ad clicks and have been more than happy with my purchases. Something I would normally not do, but now i DO.

The cpm in my primary position has gone up a quid or two, but it’s my secondary positions which seem to do better with the cpm going up a few quid.

Although Google lets you add 3 units to each page my belief now is that rather than looking for ways to always squeeze 3 units onto each page in the hope that every now and then every unit will get a click, you should only add units that get a good CTR.

Makes sense to be honest, and your site design will benefit (and you’ll make more money!)

Hey Everton,

I’m REALLY curious if you’ve seen any improvements since then…

We review all our revenue metrics from all income sources every 2 weeks, and that’s usually when we decide what new ad positions to try, etc.

Have an awesome day!
