Custom Channels

Making custom channels available to advertisers

[proboscis]

Hi,

Will I make more money if I create custom channels and show them to advertisers as ad placements?

Right now my adsense code is in an include file that shows across all pages of my site. If I make ad placements available, would it be worth the time to create several different channels? I'd have to go in and change the include files across 100's of pages.

Thanks

It does depend on your site, but doing so would help those advertisers who were interested (and so help you!).

It would also give you better feedback about what worked and what didn't.

On a related note, has anyone here created a Custom Channel and then had an advertiser specifically target the Custom Channel?

I have had an advertiser targeting one custom channel I created. It was a total disaster, my bottom line decreased more than 50% so I blocked it. The ad I was getting was horrible, you know, with those giant font and it was all over my site making my site look ugly and somewhat spammy.

Yeah I have one page in a 300 page site that gets bombarded with traffic. If I made a channel for it, they would not *have* to advertise across the site, they could just target that one page. So I guess depending on your circumstances it could be good or bad.

In my case it would be a disaster to give it a channel.
