How do I get readers to click on Adsense?

Or – How do I get readers who click on Adsense?

In my experience, the best thing for AdSense outside of search engine traffic is mainstream media traffic. These people are typically less internet savvy and less blind to ads, so they will tend to click more. If you think up some scheme to get in an online newspaper then you might both get more subscribers and more AdSense clicks.

 

Easier said than done, I know – but maybe it is something you hadn't thought of devoting some energy towards doing.

It may also help to change your ad formats. They currently seem quite small and unnoticeable. There has been some talk on the boards lately too that text ads perform generally better than image ads, so try cutting out the images. I also think it is a mistake not to have at least one ad block on your main page. I'm guessing a significant portion of your traffic passes through your homepage, does it not?

Thanks for the tips. I just put up adsense right before I needed to take 10 days off so I haven't play with it much.

I definitely will try a big ad on the main page. Will work on it this weekend.

 

I will also try putting a text ad up top and move the small banner to the bottom. I like having images with my post, that's why I made a small banner ad so it doesn't clash too much with my images.

THANKS!!
