How can I improve my Adsense CTR / CPC?
-
Here's one page where my Ads' setup can be seen:

5% CTR is good but 2 cents per click is really low. Other than being in Brazil, I believed you have been 'smart priced' due to the traffic quality you are sending through. Also, when you started using adsense, I assume the CPC was higher right?

Thank you for the straight answer kchan.
My CTR is around 5% and the CPC is at measly 2 cents.
I don't think I can get a 60c CPC, since my traffic is from Brazil, but on the other hand 2 cents seems pathetic.

Hello,
I would like to ask what is your CTR like? Since your website is targets the younger audience, it is unlikely you would receive a high CPC, say above 60-70 cents per click.
What I would suggest is to only use 2 adsense units a page. This should increase the CPC, because less ads are been displayed(as usually the higher paying CPC's or higher quality ads)
I would suggest using only 300x250, 120/160x 600, 468x68 or 728x90 because these tend to be the best paying/performing ad units. These are better performing because most publishers have designed banners for these ad dimensions.
For your page, I would suggest the top section where you're using the 336x280 to only use one or the left side (preferbally a 300x250 ad unit), and maybe a description of the game or the right. The bottom section you should use a 468x90 advert.
You should also play around with the positioning and coloring of the ad text unit.
How this helps.

Google Adwords Offered to Redesign My Website & A/B Test... Thoughts?
I received a call from the Google Adwords team today offering to redesign major pages of my website & A/B test their design against mine. The rep said that this is not a standard service they offer and that we had been "selected". Despite it's overt marketing overtones, I would hate to pass by the opportunity to apply Google's conversion insight to my site. Has anyone experienced this before? Good experience? Bad experience?

Does Lack of CTR Reduce Organic Impressions
I have a business model that works off Impressions and not CTR.
Conversion Rate Optimization | | numbers
Obviously impressions on a search engine normally lead to CTR and the landing page does the conversion. But what if I can convert a sale directly on the search engine results page without the client clicking the actual search result. Therefore the CTR is heavily reduced. Does a reduced CTR effect your rank on the search results? I know that in PPC the CTR is an important factor for relevancy, thus reducing your PPC costs. Result is you pay more per click to get position 1-3. But does it matter for organic results ? I am currently testing the model and do have pages in rank 1-3 that generate approximately 3 times the number of conversion to the CTR (unique sales). I would also like to know if there is a way to measure the numbr of Impressions a page gets with their search rank, webmaster tools does have it but it seems to be a rounded to the nearest 10,000 figure. All contributions on this welcome, Thank You.0 -

Any providers offering a/b testing using JS callbacks?
Hi all, I am looking to test the impact of buy button wording on conversion rate. The website in question has a few thousand products on non-dynamic URLs. The common a/b testing products on the market restrict tests to a single URL, or you have to enter all the URLs being tested which isn't practical. Ideal Solution What I'd really like to do is: use the provider's web app to configure an experiment with a name and a description of the variations; use some JS code to run the experiment with a callback to carry out the variation. This would allow me to easily put this code on the product details page template. I've written example code below for how this would look. When the experiment is run, the provider's framework would a) tell my code what variation to run, and b) handle the measuring of conversion rate. Questions Are there any providers which work like this? Is there an alternative solution on the market? If there isn't someone already doing this, would it be useful to anyone else?
