Hi John,
That`s the best way to do it, to play around and see what works best on your own site.
Yes I plan on doing more tests like this and share them here on my site.

Thanks for your comment John,
Vicky

Thanks Hindy,
Like you say it`s all about how you present the ads. It can be done in a tasteful and helpful way to your visitors.
You never want the ads to take over or feel overwhelming…

All sites are not made for ads either. This is something you have to test on your own site.
Some sites does very well with ads. Some sites well, there are no point of having them on there because they don`t convert. This is something you have to test to find out though.
It`s also a numbers game, for ads to be worth it you do need some decent traffic.

The great thing with Adsense is that they are custom made to your visitor. So what you see is not necessarily what your visitors see.
They take in many factors when they display the ads on your site. Searches, website visits and lots more.

I would say if you have some decent traffic start displaying one or two ads on posts and pages that are not related to affiliate sales.

Testing is the best way to find out what works on your site.

Hope that helps,
Vicky

Hi Vicky, I am in awe! Your thorough understanding and analysis of ad placement is really impressive. I haven’t even looked into adsense, I guess because some of the training I’ve seen says not to bother, I never did. After reading your post and seeing that you are making money, perhaps it’s something I should look into. I guess because I don’t like seeing ads on sites, I’m very reluctant to make mine appear like a sales pitch. I know it’s all in how you do it, how many, relevance… but I never want people to feel I’m only out to make money. Any suggestions?

I love love love this post. I’m very much interested in it. I already had connected the Adsense with the analytics and am trying to figure out this. I was planning that my next website would be more this. You explained it really well. I added this to my favs and AM coming back to it for reference
Great post. Thank you
