AdSense and Borders

Adsense 1 comment

Deane at Gadgetopia experimented with a new format for her Adsense ads - no borders - and discovered one of the best ways of increasing CTR:

‘If you have Google Adsense on your site, here is the best piece of advice I can give you: don’t put borders around your ads. I had a border around my skyscraper banner on the right here, so it sat in its own little box.’

This simple move made a substantial difference to CTR and no doubt a corresponding difference to overall earnings.

Of course each blog is different depending upon the overall design - but this is a tactic I use on most of my sites pretty successfully. However if you do keep in mind you might get a bit of flack from it - check out the comments on the above post and you’ll see that some are ethically opposed to it.

  • Maybe because its a long day but I’ve got to note that the only way to make the borders go away is to set them to the same colour as the background, strangely enough it took me several minutes to work this out, it might be time for bed :-)

Another way of making money online is to get paid to take surveys. But it takes a lot of work to get paid to take surveys so it's easier to use a money making app. You can also get paid to walk where you can record stock videos of things that you see while walking around.

The iPhone 5’s battery life isn’t bad, but it isn’t awesome, either. With careful use, you can make your iPhone’s battery last all day. If you want to work your iPhone hard, however, particularly when you’re traveling or otherwise away from places to recharge the device, you need a hawaii Sandals and stay charged for a whole nother day. Regardless of which battery case you choose, a bit of advice: Your iPhone 5 requires more juice to charge the final 20 percent of the way.
