Experience with ThankYou pages?

So, I'm trying to increase my CTR on the website in my sig, since its getting a litte tough to increase traffic at the moment.

I'm pretty satisfied with my CTR, but I could probably get it up higher.

I'm thinking of creating a page thankyou.php, which you will be redirected to after sending your message from the website.

My friend used a thankyou page on his website and said the CTR on that page alone was like 35%. Anyone have experience with this?

 

No, adsense on "Thank you" pages are against the TOS (i think thats because of the little content on them).

 

This is a grey area. Be careful.
The TOS used to say:

Google AdSenseTM Online Standard Terms and Conditions
5. Prohibited Uses. You shall not, and shall not authorize or
encourage any third party to:


(v) display any Ad(s), Link(s), or Referral Button(s) on any error
page, on any registration or "thank you" page (e.g., a page that
thanks a user after he/she has registered with the applicable Web
site), on any chat page, in any email, or on any Web page or any Web
site that contains any pornographic, hate-related, violent, or illegal
content;


It is no longer specifically mentioned in terms of service, but is covered by the term, "No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages". If you can make your thank you page full of relevent content, you might pass a manual review. I think a safer plan would be to use a search box there.

I think your site might benefit from some extra content on the home page to better cover you with google tos. Pretty thin content there. Maybe you could give some examples of funny e-mails people have sent?
Good luck with everything!

Thanks for the tips. Its hard to add content as its a site where noone wants to read content -- they just want to send fake emails. Hopefully they'll realize in a manual review that the website offers a service, so homepage content was meant to be scarce.

About the thankyou page, I still might test one out if I can get enough content. Its not only going to be a thankyou page, I was thinking more a page that simply shows again the message sent, etc, and asks if they'd like to send another one.

I've tried out search, its done terribly for me.
