Google AdSense : 提升网站广告收益秘技大公开

November 14th, 2009 by wordpress

相信每个做网站的站长都想做GG广告联盟。在你做好网站或博客,了解了如何生成和添加广告代码后,那现在您关心的问题可能就是:怎么投放广告才能有更多的广告收入呢?

下面我们就为您揭开提升网站广告收益的几大秘技。

AdSense广告收入= AdSense广告展示量X广告点击率X单个广告价格

提高公式右侧的任何一项因素,都会对提高收入产生立竿见影的效果。

秘技一:选用效果最好的广告格式-更多优质广告。

728X90, 300X250,和160X600 是效果最好的广告格式。这三种广告格式的优势是:能够形成较为强势的阅读区,获得较好的关注度;广告条数较多,增加广告多样性;更容易触发多媒体广告,丰 富广告来源。如果您没有使用这三种广告尺寸,那么您正在失去大部分的机会!另外,生成广告时请确保您选择了“文字与图片广告(默认)”,这样广告才会兼容 各种形式的多媒体广告。


秘技二:把广告放在点击率最高的位置- 翻番你的广告点击率 。

首屏的广告点击率远高于第二屏的广告, 同时超过半数的广告商在选择网站投放广告时,会优先选择广告位在首屏的网站。根据为发布商提供优化服务的经验,我们推荐以下广告展示位置:

网站首页/二级频道首页/列表页 - 开辟首屏广告位,收获最多价值。
因地制宜的采用728X90横幅, 160X600 摩天大楼,或是 300X250 矩形框,都有很好的效果。

内容页面 - 内容左上角,内容底部,或是侧面的推荐链接附近。
300X250 的矩形框最适用于画中画 ;另外一个选择是在内容的上面或之下放置横幅广告;而摩天大楼放置在页面左右侧也是不错的选择。

论坛页面 - 首帖下方 728X90 横幅是最佳选择。

论坛也不要轻易忽视,实践证明,首帖下方放置横幅广告,不但点击效果不错,也有利于网友的在线体验。

秘技三:增加广告投放页面。

提高点击率的同时,增加广告的展示量也很重要,所以您可以在您所有符合 AdSense 政策的网站和网页上投放广告,也可以在一个页面投放2个或3个广告单元,增加广告被用户看到的机会。
