Received an email today from the nice folks at Google. (They really are nice). As you can see, I host their ads, which generates revenue that helps pay the bills. Their note said: Dear Publisher, ••• today's entry continued here ••• They require that the units be placed "above the fold" on a page so that the ads are immediately visible to your site's visitors without scrolling down. The text in that email that really caught my atention was: "These advertisers ... are willing to bid more for ads .. on these sites." Note: I've traditionally used the slightly larger rectagle ad (336x280). I've briefly reviewed the program and it looks a bit complicated, but that's probably cuz it's getting late & I'm tired (my eyes are burning), and *everything* seems complicated when I'm tired. I'll give it another look in the morning .. when I'm fresh (after an espresso). It takes a long time to modify the site's ads, cuz I code them into actual text (not an peripheral template), so I must do each page indiviually .. and the site has thousands of pages. The last time I modified the site's Adsense ads (to "blend" them), it took me ~a week of non-stop coding (tedious, no fun). But maybe I'll earn a few extra pesos. =) The end. For more along these lines, here's a Google search pre-configured for the query-string: adsense+google+custom+placement+packs |
