As I mentioned a few post back I have been experimenting with Google Referrals.I have tried out various Google Referral ads and in different positions and sizes to see if this would increase my Google monthly income.
To be honest I didn't really notice any improvement but then by doing something else I did.
I went back to the normal AdSense ads but this time I used them as a big header size and placed them on this and also one of my celeb blogs. I also changed the colours to what you see above.
A strange thing happened. Since doing this my AdSense daily earnings have increased 46% over the average earnings for the last six weeks.
Now this might be just a freak, or maybe the format will lose it's effectiveness. I can't really say for certain. I thought, however, it may be of interest to other bloggers.
I must admit that I don't really like these big 729x90 header style ads and would prefer not to run them but I'm out to make money. So if they work, they'll have to stay.
I think the lesson I have learnt is that it's worth experimenting with ads, colours, sizes, positions and so on. Though Google offer advice on ad placement etc. it's good to discover strategies for ourselves.
All blogs are different. As I see it, what works for one may not work for another but a little experimentation might just make us more money - and that's the name of the game.
Good luck,
Mike.
