Ad Placement Suggestion to Boost AdSense Revenue

Posted in: Newspaper
Post count: 1

Suggestion: Add an ad space above the featured image and below the article title.

A friend of mine who runs a similarly busy blog has found that this ad arrangement increases overall revenue 2x-3x. I did a quick & dirty hack on Newspaper to see if I could do something similar and saw he was right. See an example of this UI here: http://www.tinyhouseliving.com/215-square-foot-concrete-solar-shell/

The elimination of the sidebar also helps make this work.

Related Suggestion: Add the ability to add columns below the post on a page where the main sidebar is removed.

I’d like to be able to edit the main post page much like you permit the main homepage. Most of my traffic lands on post pages – not the homepage. So in many respects the homepage design is unimportant. The post page design is paramount to capturing followers/subscribers and ad revenue.

Thanks!

Hi,
That can be easily managed by adding a new spot AD in post file like here: http://screencast.com/t/LKf6zA5qS4xP

Thanks for the suggestion!

I’ve noticed the boost in revenue, as well. For those of us with multiple-page-posts, is there a way to get the featured image on every page (as opposed to just pg. 1)?

Thanks!

Actually, that didn’t work. I’m trying to get it on pages that have the <–nextpage–> tag. No worries if there isn’t a fix, though.

It did. Had to remove a plugin. Thanks!
