Custom Ad Sizes….

(written by christopher)

Ok, now we can all use different ad sizes:

Announcement: Inside AdSense: Introducing custom ad sizes: More ad formats to fit your site

Help Center: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/3289364

There’s lots of cheering about this in various forums.

I’m not sure I’ll be taking advantage of this though. At least not right away.

It seems to me that if you use a non-standard size, there will be less ad inventory (display ads) and, if there’s less inventory, there will be a lower average cpc. Unless…. they are just resizing standard size ads?

I don’t know, sounds like it’s going to create chaos and lower cpc to me. I’ll just stick with standard ads for a while here and watch what happens with this.

What do you’all think? I am I just being an old fart that’s to resistant to change?

Does the first AdSense Ad Unit really gets the highest paying Ads

Hello

I know I wrote an article about

in which I said that it is a known fact that the first AdSense Ad Unit in the HTML receives the highest paying Ads.

However reviewing my AdSense statistics today after replacing my Large Rectangles in my content with medium rectangles I am not that sure anymore. Or at least the theses needs an additional comment.

I still think that the highest paying Ads are served in the first Ad Unit that appears in your HTML. However this does not necessarily mean that the highest paying Ads are shown in the first Ad Unit. I think this effect depends on your Ad Unit sizes and if you allow image Ads or not.
First Some Statistics
My first AdSense Ad Unit (visible and in HTML) on my forum is a Large Rectangle serving image and text Ads.

Text or Image Ads?

(written by azguy_9)

What is your experience with using text or image, or both in regards to clicks and amount per click.

I’m getting emails from google saying that text/image rich ads are much better.
