Everyday i see in webmaster blogs, people comment and say the image based ads are not worth considering and how they don’t get any clicks, how they are low paying ads and not even worth putting into your websites.

Well i choose to defer with that, infact in one of my site, there is one image ad block which is getting 10-15 clicks a day and giving me pretty good returns. And why not, i have seen the ad and it is really tempting. According to me image ads convey their product in a better way and visitors can have a glimpse of the product or service even before clicking the ad.

I never really understand, why people think so negative about image based ads, if it doesn’t work for some, it may work very well for others. So, keep experimenting with the adsense ads position once a while to analyze your earnings.

Well that is my observation, how about you?

To start with, i never used adsense link units on any of my websites, thinking that no one will anyway click on the links, as it is already hard to get clicks on the big banners and adsense ad blocks.

Well i was completely wrong on this one. Once in every 2-3 weeks i shuffle the ad arrangements on my website, to see how they perform on a particular position. Well last week, while doing the same, i thought  lets add an link unit to see how they perform. So, i placed a 468×15 link unit, under the every blog post header.

And the results were awesome to say the least, my ctr went up and earning increased double fold. Its almost 6 days since i introduced the link unit and results are great till now. So, i have decided to keep the link unit for atleast a month and track its performance. I won’t increase the no. of link units, will keep the count as one only and see if the golden runs continuous forever or not.

So, if you are like me and not tapping the potential of Link Units out of some apprehension, i will advice you to give them a chance, like i did.

Well to be honest i was lured into putting adsense ads all around my one website hoping i will earn more money. As my website is around 3 months old, it was not giving me 100′s of dollars a day but yes with around minimum 1000 page views per day, i was getting around $1-$2 on a daily basis. Which is not bad for a new website, as i am not very expert in monetizing my site.

I write my own content and really want to help people by my site. And seeing the traffic increasing on my site gives me assurance that the work i am doing is being noticed. But yesterday i was checking out my site and thought, if i am a person coming from outside and reading posts, is my reading experience hampered by all the ads around the posts. And the answer was a a big “YES“, ads block ruin the user experience if not done correctly.

Personally if i visit some blog and posts are stuffed with ads, it really puts me off, and makes a impression that the guy is only writing for money. So, i decided to remove almost every ad sense unit from my blog, just keeping one small unit, which will not hinder the post reading in any way.

So, no ads on that website until i learn to do it in a proper way. And about ads on this site, well they will also move in coming days.
