Test-Adding Google Adsense Below Post Titles

How to Add Google Adsense Below Your Post Titles

Adding Google Adsense below post titles may or may not increase Google Adsense revenue, from a logical standpoint it makes sense. For several years Google posted an image showing the best way to optimize your Adsesnse, mapping the areas with coloured heat zones,and showing right below the title as the prime spot for ads. Oddly enough they never revealed the code to implement this mapping.

Now there is a new one click optimizer showing various optimization patterns for different types of content now,

I've tried out several differemt sets of instructions to add the Google Adsense code to my sites in the past.Today's test is using the directions found on Blogger Sentral, by Green Lava.

How I added Google Adsense Code below each post title on every page.

1. Created Google Adsense code for a new ad 300 x 250 unit using text and Image ads.
2. Used the Html Escape App at http://www.accessify.com/tools-and-wizards/developer-tools/quick-escape/default.php 
3. Clicked Design-Html-Expand Widgets
4. Click CTRL+F and entered the search 'data:post.body'
5. Pasted the escaped code above the line with data:post.body
6. Clicked 'Preview' -loaded fine.
7. Clicked 'Save'

Results:New Adsense Code appeared below each header on each page.Also since only 3 Adsense banner type ads are permitted per page,it wiped out my right-hand column ad on the Home page for the blog.


Before starting the experiment 1 had 10 Google Adsense ads:

Maim page
3 banner ads-

• Leader Board 728 x
• Right Skyscraper
• Bottom Large rectangle

3 link Units:

• 728 above content
• 2 automated link units between posts with 3 posts appearing on the main page

Policies page

• 3 banner ads-
  
  • Leader Board 728 x
  • Right Skyscraper
  • Bottom Large rectangle
• 1 link Units:
  
  • 728 above content

After implementing the code I had 10 Google Adsense ads:


Main Page
3 banner ads-

• Leader Board 728 x
• 2 automated Rectangles (leaving Large blanks in the right column and the top of the 3rd post and the bottom of the page)

1 link Unit:

• 728 above content

Policies page

• 3 banner ads-
  
  • Leader Board 728 x
  • Right Skyscraper
  • Bottom Large rectangle
• 1 link Units:
• 728 above content

Discoveries-Apparently the embedded code in posts over-rides the link units,as well as the other banner ads on the page.

P- Adsense Banner ads are placed directly on pages more valuable in posts than link ads as they can be targeted.

M-Large blank spaces

I-Wonder which has better CTR leader or Banner ad? Possible to place more than1 pot on static pages?

Next steps -Remove link units from automated.Put link units outside posts Only display 2 posts per page.

Add search bars
