It would probably be easier to do with PHP. Create a PHP block with Adsense ads to plug in. When you want the adsense turned off, replace the PHP block with a different one. Easier than replacing a whole stack of pages every day. (Some sites have hundreds, thousands of pages)

Hmm. For many of us, who's sites are completely dynamically generated, this would be really easy to do. BUT: Does anyone here think it would be an advantageous thing to implement? If so, which span of hours would you turn off Adsense for? Based on America? Eastern time zone? Pacific? One could get really fancy, and try to turn off ads for the timezone of the user, based on IP geolocation, and not do it at all for non-US visitors... Or would the optimum time to turn off the ads be based on Google-time? (US Pacific)

Try it and let us know how it works. I do see a variation in click value, but IMO it's got more to do with Google smoothing out a site's daily earnings than it does with advertiser bids. I'm also skeptical it would improve one's smart pricing score. Actually my site's best performing period is midnight to 8 AM, Pacific time -- maybe I shouldn't show ads during the day?

hmmm the ability to turn ads on and off based on time and geoip... good idea for an adsense type software me thinks... i would buy something like that...

Not a problem to implement such changes in adlogger using some free "ip to location" database.

I would just love to switch to some sitewide CPM ads for another supplier from about 10pm to 4am and then back to Madsense.

that is actually a good idea... i would try it if i had another test site, i wouldnt want to implement it on my main site where i depend on the earning i already make. right now i have adsense and some cpm ads running at the same time, it be nice to simplify the ads spawned out, or even have them rotate and different rates and at different times. someone try it and let us know the results.

If you don't want to go down the IP geolocation route, you could dynamically set a variable in Javascript with your servers current hour, set a variable to fetch your users local hour and find the "hour difference" between them. You could then, again using javascript, choose not to show the Adsense ad to users who fall outwith a specified "hour difference" range.

I don't think the OP is concerned with geolocation or the user's local time anyway.

If the concern is about what tthe ads are *paying* at a certain time, then the time zone of the *user* is not important. I would find the outcome of the experiment to be interesting, but I doubt that I would ever bother to implement it myself.

I have a rather small niche, so turning off ads between 12:00a - 8:00a would seem ideal. Not sure if I will test it though.

I think all this can be done by PHPAdsNew, both the time control and the geotargeting, Google it for how it can work with AdSense.

Here is why you see your EPC go up around 8am.. I, like many adwords advertisers, turnoff their advertising or drastically lower the bids. Mine are 80% off between 10pm and 8am EST/US.

I get visitors 24/7 I've noticed periods when my average EPC falls - not only on a daily cycle, but also at week ends - and guessed that was because some advertisers were pausing their ads (or reducing their bids) during these periods. But I still get visitors - I show the ads that are available at the going rate - a click is a click. If I have no ads, then I earn nothing. As a publisher, I can see no reason to want to turn off or remove AdSense unless I have something better to put in its place.

andrewshim, there is a "click fraud fighter/logger" - AdLogger. Also some sites provide free ip to country mapping database (can sticky link if interested). What i was trying to say is that should not be difficult to change AdLogger to check country using ip to country database, and add time bounds. But solution from Hobbs seems to be simpler/easier.

It would be interesting to create 2 sets of pages and 2 indexes one set with AdSense for the day and one with YPN for the overnight. mmmmmm.....

If the lower ads do lead to site wide smart pricing, than yes, this is a great idea. But don't you think that Google knows that at midnight the ads get cheaper and it's not publisher's "fault"? What do you think guys?

Your website statistics will give you a clear picture of which timeframes to target. I find that clients targeting the United States have specific days and times when traffic levels are at their peak.

Might be interesting to create a "day" channel and a "night" channel, hmm. Why would a publisher want to avoid night clicks? The only reason I can think of is based on the assumption that night surfers are less likely to convert than day surfers. If you think you're being smartpriced, you might want to cull out some poorly-converting clicks in the hopes that you may get back in the smartpricing algo's good graces.

If I remember back to my Adwords days, that's exactly what many advertisers have concluded.

For those planning to try this, do it the smart way: Do not just clear ads code, replace ad units code with referral banner, affiliate code, or other networks code and there are plenty of other networks, this way you still make money even while testing, and get a good chance to know better alternates to AdSense.

We track conversions based on the time of day and night visitors are a horrendous waste of money for us. While one can certainly make assumptions, I have no solid idea as to the psychological reasons behind it. I do however have two years of stats that have shown it's simply not worth advertising at night for us.

Afraid with smart pricing you are not going to get an instant feedback like that. You will have to keep it up for a month (probably) in order to see if your change has an effect on eCPC

what about cpm ads? Since november, my earnings are 50% cpm ads. And my earnings have increased, so it is not that I'm showing more CPM ads because of all that smartpricing thing or so. Also, I believe that it is better to keep the ads layout steady with no major changes. In the last two years many tricks have been tested and there is not much magic left to perform. Quality traffic and a good ad placement is what works. Enrique
