Adsense optimization tip: Go for wider ad units
December 14, 2009
Last week I received an email from the Google Adsense Optimization Team giving me tips on how to supposedly increase my Adsense earnings. I even had to double-check that the email was really from them and not a phishing email.
Anyway, here goes their ad optimization tip.
How to filter or block ads in Google Adsense
August 25, 2009
On your site, Google Adsense ads appear promoting your competitor site. On your gadgets and technology blog, unrelated ads for weight loss and religion sometimes appear.
If you are faced with the following problems as a Google Adsense publisher, what do you do?
The simple answer: you filter or block those unwanted ads. But how exactly?
Google Adsense: Today’s Earnings different from Total Earnings
July 7, 2009
I logged in to my Adsense account a few minutes ago and — surprise! — my Today’s Earnings is different from my Total Earnings of the day.

Question to Google Adsense publishers: Do you know what time of the day you earn the most Adsense income?

How to decrease or change font size of Adsense ads
June 25, 2009
If you haven’t noticed it yet, the font sizes of Google Adsense ads have now gotten bigger. That’s because the default font size of the ads is now “medium.”

Adsense interest-based ads effective?

In the past few days, the number of ad clicks in my Google Adsense account remained virtually stable and yet revenue increased. Take a look at the screenshot of these two Adsense metrics taken from my Adsense stats in Analytics.
Adsense stats different from Google Analytics?
May 2, 2009
If you were able to successfully link your Adsense and Analytics accounts, you would see by now relevant stats about Adsense on your Analytics account.
Among others, you will see:
- which blog post brought the most ad clicks;
- which site delivered the most referred users who clicked on the ads;
- a comparison of your click-through rates (CTR), cost per impression (eCPM), and Adsense income
But one thing you will find weird sometimes is the difference of statistics on your Adsense account and on Analytics. For instance, Analytics may show a different number of ad clicks from that recorded on your Adsense account. Worse, your earnings on Adsense may be different from what is shown on Analytics.
Is this normal?
