Unsure Of Placement

Hi guys,

My site is still new coming to about a week since it's been launched and despite the fact that I have yet to publicize the site, I've been getting reasonable visitors and clicks.

However, I am still unsure and want to improve in the area of the placement of the ads.

The link is in my signature. Thanks.

 

If you get reasonable visitors and clicks after only a week of it launched, then I'm pretty sure that you're doing all right. Just keep testing. That's how you learn about the best ad placement. The skyscrapper on the right side could perform moderate to best depends on any other factors on your site. Good luck

 

To first answer your question - the ad placement looks alright and should give you a decent CTR. However ....

1. Have you noticed that most of the ads displayed on your site link to your competitors? This could be deadly for your business.

2. Sort of similarly to the point above, it seems that the business model of this site could definitely use some tweaking. The reason for this being that your aim should be profiting the most out of your customers - the people who actually sign up for your free hosting. By displaying them ads even before they sign up, you will be sending away people who would otherwise become your customers and for some reason, I believe that a signed up customer is worth a lot more to you than the lousy one-time income that an Adsense click generates you.

 

Yeah, I realized that because that's the most relevant ads that they can place...

Hmmm...
