Is this allowed?

Hi
I was looking over at
Ezine Articles

and see those adsense block? Quite long.. I have never seem some skyscraper block that long.. if you check the sources code of the html you then see that the adsense ads are being parsed by a javascript script that plays with it.

Can we do that?? and not sure but there is 4 adsense block on those pages ( they are all the same ) unless the bottom links does not count as a block?

Thanks for some clarification, this is not the first site I see that plays with adsense ads and manipulate the ads in order to show them in another way or nicelly formatted with some shapes and stuff.. but this one is kinda odd as it's displaying even more ads on one block that I've never seen before.

From what i've read previously you can buy the right to toggle with AdSense ads by becomming a premium member, I think that Digg recently had bizzare adsense formats and raised a question similar to this.

Just what i've heared though, I'd like to know if its 100% true.

Well looking forward here also for the answer or official link where this is stated as it's not the first place I see this.. I would surely like to boost the earnings by playing around with those ads.. Did you see those freaking long skyscraper ads?? :hehe:

Not an interesting subject or is it too much controversial?

Sometimes more is not better. I never ever use more than three ad units on a page. Usually only two. People hate ads - put too many in their face and they leave - now, not later or after bookmarking, but right away without reading/clicking anything.

It's true that if the average of your visitors length time on your site is 5 seconds then might mean that there is a problem somewhere. So you consider that having too much ads is one factor that might get your visitors leaving the site. Make sense specially that I personally think that now the users are well aware of AdSense ads, I mean they now "know" since long time that those are ads and less are clicking on them thinking that it's a single link of the website and not ads. But this was one of the things I've liked when I've seen those ads, since they are not like the normal ones. May be getting more clicks since users may not associated them with Google ads since they are really not the same format as they are use to see. :imho:

Well the different layouts could help with 'ad-blindness' but they risk the first factor of 'too many ads!'

Ok so your saying that there is too much ads on those pages right? That's what I think but I dont know for sure if the link ads are counting in the "3 block" allowed. I dont think so.. so they might be ok as is. What is still bugging me is the format of the ads and the javascript script used in order to re-format the ads and manipulate it. This I really wonder if it's allowed and if so is there anything special needed to do in order to use this.

To become a "premium" member you must have a lot of traffic and I would assume the CTR is VERY low. If you are getting anything over 3% CTR their eyes will go up but they will not ban a premium account though they just warn and take money away from you... does it go back to the advertiser... that is another subject

Now to think about the advertisement side of it
I will rant for 20 seconds of your life well prob less but here it goes.

You pay 20k a month with google for your Advertisement. Lets say you are paying .20 per click from 20,000 you are getting roughly around 100k click throughs for your advertisement. What would you say is the % of "Invalid Clicks" ? My guess it would be at least 5% due to the accounts getting suspended monthly. So that would mean that an extra 5000 clicks should be ADDED to your account from 100,000 clicks you paid for. So that means 1k should be refunded to your account. I know an associate who hmm lets see pays 20k a month and gets a refund for like 4 bucks pretty much a "Good Faith" refund from 20k LOL so you know how the back end works and the front end. Guess who is in the middle?

Hum.. thanks for that.. quite interresting.. something to think about..

 

[MisterD]

Yeah.. well I think the subject is getting a bit out of the main topic but still interresting.
