Bumping Up AdSense: Has It Been Worth It?
I wrote about it and wrote about it and wrote about it and now that I am a ways in, I’ve been considered whether or not it has been worth it. I’m not exactly sure, but I think it has been, just barely.
The fact of the matter is that when you bump AdSense up in your chain – when it’s at the top of your chain – you serve little else. BURST!, FastClick, Casale, RIghtMedia and HDM are getting virtually nothing and, as such, they are making me virtually nothing (we’re talking all combined in the single digits – that type of nothing – nothing nothing). Am I making more now than I would if I had AdSense lower in the chain? As I said, I think so. Barely.
I was thinking that there may be a way to do both – in a way – to give AdSense it’s own spots, etc. But, there just isn’t that much real estate on my pages that I am comfortable with (without it taking away).
