my site is full of them one minute, refresh and they're gone, refresh again and they come back. they are sort of distracting with the insanely huge fonts.
they are sort of distracting
In advertising, distracting is a good thing.
Distracting or not, it definitely looked unprofessional.
Too bad if you have a well designed site with all fonts and elents in place, and one of these beauties pop up with empty space all around it.
Utterly yuck. And Poof goes my design.
Of course, you can always exclude them from advertising: [google.com...]
Ugly millionnairess or sexy pauper?
There are good ads and bad ads (again by current / common standards of advertising). Normal text ads have their own aesthetics, banner ads have their own - these big fonts with lots of empty space around them for me tilts the balance a bit too far.
I could be wrong, and perhaps they are making me my millions already. In which case, the millions restore the balance back.
But if the CPM ads are bringing me perhaps, 40-50 dollars daily extra by ugly advertising, I guess I would be willing to forego them.
Fact is, I do not know how much they contribute to the kitty. They are too new on my site.
Will wait and watch.
40-50 dollars daily extra
Based on the nature of the ad space auction continuously going on, I think that CPM ads need only deliver $.01 more than your CPC ads generate on average. So, if your CPC ads generate, on average, $3 per 1,000 impressions then a CPM advertiser can adorn your page for $3.01 per 1,000 impressions.
I would guess that the reality is that the CPM ad needs to provide perhaps 2-5% over the CPC ads to take into account fluctuations in CTR, but I really haven't studied this in depth.
On another note, if your ads are currently set to allow image ads, that CPM advertiser may decide to experiment with some big graphic ads. If page design is an issue, you can compromise to allow the large text ad, but don't want to compromise so far as graphic ads, you may want to disable image ads. This can be done in your account settings: [google.com...] or by editing the ad block.
however, i will not change my plans, since google image ads don't contribute to increase my earnings.
I seriously think that you must be kidding. 40 dollars a day means 1240 dollars in a 31-day month, which is an insane amount of money and way more than I earned working my ass off all day during summer like a year ago.
If I made 40 bucks a day IN TOTAL, I would be happy and never have to worry about my economy again... or at least I could relax.
I wonder how much you make, really. And I'm very excited about what kind of sites you run, too... Care for a PM?
