Experience With Google Page-Level Ads

[romerome]

Has anyone gotten these to work.

I turned them both on recently. For the anchor/overlay ads I am getting a rpm of 11 cents. For the Vignette ads the rpm is ok but they are crazy disruptive and they hardly ever show so the revenue is insignificant.

In summary these two ads are 1.1 percent of the revenue from the 3 normal google ads.

Am I missing something or are these ads just horrible.

No, I wouldn't care for them, regardless of what they earn.

I got ridiculously low CTRs for the anchored ads and very few impressions for the vignette ads. On most of my sites, I don't care much about user experience, so I'd be OK with disruptive ads. But earnings increased only 2% with page-level ads, so I disabled them after about two weeks of testing.
