The position of your Google Adsense ad on your website may be limiting your cash flow. Position will determine if a visitor sees your ad or simply casts “ad blindness” thus forth no click. That may be the reason you are getting those low click through rates (CTR).
Now tested methods have proved that banner ads above the fold work very well. You should place these ad units close or directly above your menu. According to general testing these positions yield rather well. Another position that yields good CTR is placing these banner ads above or embedded in content. This puts them in the visitors view and in the heart of the page. This strategy generates the best all around CTR thus generates money the best.
Link ad units that I have tested on various sites work well close or above the navigational system. Another good method would be right below content. However, these ads generally do not generate enough profits personally. But when they do, they are highly effective money makers. Also, it is always best to keep in mind that these types of ads must be clicked 2 times in order to generate any kind of income. One click from your site then one click to sponsors in the search results page.
Ad position cannot be taken lightly. I have had campaigns that jumped 20% overnight by just finding the right spot within the web site. Always remember even online business programs need time, trial, be patient and determination. So in order to get past that sticking point or to get started the right way, use these proven methods and become ahead of the game and start making a couple hundred per site today.
