In my HTML code, SpaceA comes before SpaceB.
SpaceA CTR is about 0.25%.
SpaceB CTR is about 0.50%.
When I use SpaceA and SpaceB together, I get some money. But when I disable SpaceA, I make twice as much with just SpaceB activated.
This is happening because when I have both spaces enabled, Google cannot display enough ads so my SpaceB tends to get defaulted a lot.
Right now I have SpaceA disabled and I was thinking of opening it back and use AdSonar as a default when SpaceB cannot display anything. Is this a smart idea? I've just signed up for AdSonar but have not received an approval or denial email yet. I do not know how much AdSonar can pay me and I have a feeling that they do not pay much.
Also, if you have any other suggustions for a default text ad network, please feel free to suggust it.
But I doublechecked and you're right.
Here's a quote from the help section of google adsense:
"We do not permit Google ads or search boxes accessing Google search services to be published on web pages that also contain what could be considered competing ads or services. This would include ads that mimic Google ads or otherwise appear to be associated with Google on your site. If you have elected to receive content-based Google ads, this would also include all other content-targeted ads. If you have elected to receive Google search services, this would include other search services on the same site and non-Google query-targeted ads. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links."
If you have two or three AdSense panels on the page, you can only use a rival contextual advertiser as an alternative for the first panel and use the collapsing javascript for the others.
Otherwise you run the risk of displaying both the rival advertiser and AdSense which is against the AdSense TOS.
