interesting. I’m learning.
quite interesting read
Yes, now is it top bloggers ads placement good place for have good SEO friendly links from quality sites.
I think it’s surprising. This forum should have been in a higher place
Eye opening post. pretty interesting but not surprising.
What matters more, the percentage of Ads, their position or the earnings. I could be good to have just one that makes for ten.
I practically have zero percent of Ads on my blog
As long as you have content that readers are looking for, the number of ads wont appear as spam. Readers would typically lose their patience when the quality of the content drops and the only focus is ads.
Interesting article indeed, at this stage i go with the less is more philosophy.
See, I think that is low because I would count favorite posts and marketplace listings as ads too, maybe not paid ads but they are ads designed to drive traffic either deeper into your own blog or to your friends/favorite resources.
Very interesting comparision, I am wondering how is it compared with the blog earnings… more ads = more money?
The Shoemoney marketplace at http://www.shoemoney.com/marketplace/ is a great place to look. It’s a feed from several great resources.
lol, grammar nazi….
I don’t use nofollow for normal links, just for feed or something like that
Great fine jeremy
I think it makes good sense to me. The ad placement theory actually states that ads do better on the left of a page as users read from left to right. The optic nerve tends to focus on the starting word of a sentence.. Meaning the eyes power is slightly higher for place marking on pgs.. For the record I disagree with this theory as its all about consumer behavior & conditioning and we got users trained hard to click on the right… How very Carl Sagen of me..lol
Shoe,
Wtf with this guy gimme a break with his spelling lesson.
Sounds like a guy trying to justify hes now an American..
Dude this is a Blog..Get it.. Speed post and move on, Not the NewYork Times..man>>
Shoe, I think hes one of them from there but might be from thair too who knows! know what I mean?
Poor Guy must have, Just past the USC exam.. Cuddos
I’m surprised that most of the ads are placed where they are. I can’t argue that the placement is wrong, it’s just different from where I would place the ads. There’s something to learn from that study…
Did you not see the grammer nazi’s above, watch out, and be more careful next time. s/adds/ads
About what I expected
Yup John Chow, keeps it real.. fills the site up with ads, thats where he gets his 17K revenue.
johnchow.com looks spammy to me..
You must have a sad life.
Go and find some professional help to fight the urge to correct other people’s grammar.
Great link bait as well as being very interesting
Every one wants to convert. That’s what I like about shoe: he hasn’t filled the blog with ads
yeah … right
I think it’s crazy how many ads some of these blogs have. After actually looking at that % and such, it’s amazing to me.
The funny thing is, I notice them but I dont really pay a ton of attention to any of the ads.
Cool this blog always look ad free for me.
loaded fast for me.
pretty cool research. he did mention that he left out the bottom fold.
27%, yikes.
Some of us dont have any advertising on our blogs.. Just content
It simply strikes me as odd that an established blogger doesn’t seem to know the difference between the three.
Nice article but I’m wondering who gets the most clicks per viewers.
Interesting, I would have 0% adds according this study but only cause my header adds currently empty but even with it I doubt Id break the teens.
Interesting. I must admit, I don’t notice many ads when I visit those blogs, with the exception of John Chow’s. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
Great find on this, however I did expect the percentages to be a little higher.
Great find on this Neil, however I did expect some of the percentages to be a little higher.
interesting, can someone calculate it for my blog?
Nice post about that research.
They even missed the large rectange on John Chow, just because that post happened to have a wide pic at the beginning.
I am not a fan of text adds, the adds like Shoe has going makes for a nice page I think.
worked for me!..its kinda cool research
Grammar Nazi is here! Have no fear!
Dont you have anything better to do?
sorry for unrelated question
-Jeremy, can u please suggest me some premium domain name forums for domain trade. would really appreciate sincere answer.
The URL takes a while to load. All the shoemoney traffic must be bogging the server down.
That URL doesn’t work for me. Anyone else?
Jeremy, pretty please… learn to distinguish between ‘they’re’, ‘their’ and ‘there’. Thanks.
nearly 30% on johnchow.com compared to 15% for you, plus the shoemoney store isn’t a paid ad, it’s a banner to yourself… interesting study, great linkbait.
john chow is KILLIN’ you shoe
Interesting information, but I’d be more curious to see which ads are direct sell vs. network driven and what’s flat-fee vs. cpc. Knowing the general ad rates at shoemoney for direct sell, I’m surprised to see other top bloggers who stick with the network approach.
