Google Adsense Tips

Jen releases some interesting information about Smart Pricing secret sauce which results in some publishers earning more money for a click while others earn less, with the result being that one poorly converting site can "smart price" an entire AdSense account.

Not having access to advertisers conversion rates, publishers are left guessing with respect to how their sites perform for advertisers. I suppose Google wants us to err on the side of caution, and remove adsense from our sites that we suspect are not converting well for the advertisers?

A fantastic post covering heaps of tools and articles focused on helping you get the most from the ads on your site or network. If you are not familiar with the links in this article, put some time aside and get to know them and implement or use some of them and hopefully you will notice the difference in your AdSense revenue!

Loren Baker over at Search Engine Journal takes the time to document the AdSense ad placement in various types of MySpace pages.

Knowing that Google and MySpace partnered to set this up, there's a good chance that the performance of these ads are tightly monitored, so this could be a study worth checking out.

Loren points out this about the ad targeting: ... I am single and have lived in Brazil and Japan. Most of the ads served to me are for Singles Sites where I can meet Brazilians and Japanese women. That’s some very tight ad targeting by Google.
