There’s another plugin that more accurately detect different type of referrer and you can write customized message for each. Unfortunately, I don’t recall the name of it. Also, I am not sure if it’s worth the effort to go through all that as far as ads go.

Pinyo – Do you know of a way to not show ads to social media sites like Stumble Upon, Reddit, or Digg? I think there’s may be a way to do that via WSA but I’m not sure how.

Soon enough, soon enough… I think I’ll probably do it at the end of March.

@Jay – Wow, I can barely tell you are on blogger. That’s some good theme. I think it’s definitely worthwhile to switch to WordPress.

@Mariam – “Shylock Adsense” looks similar “Who Sees Ads?” You’re doing pretty well for a non SEO blog

As for social media, I think it’s worth sacrificing short-term AdSense CTR to gain new readers and subscribers.

I use something similar with Shylock Adsense and there’s also a hack from scratch99.com for that search engine issue. I haven’t implemented the hack yet because quite frankly, my blog isn’t search engine optimized. I’m all over the place

I wonder about the difference between plugins though…

That’s the hard part if you’re popular with SM, they just kill your Adsense CTR and you get smart priced. That’s okay though as my blog is for fun. If I were more serious about making money, I’d start niche sites.

Yeah, I’m going to be switching to Wordpress for my new blog and I definitely have to look into this…

David – I tried to replicate the problem but couldn’t. I removed one of the referrer variable and just stick with posts that are 20 days or older (which shouldn’t depend on cookies). I hope this will fix the problem.

Please let me know.

The only problem with that is that if someone comes in with no cookies or a refreshed browser, they see the ads too, even if they are a regular visitor. For example, I see those ads on your site, and I visit almost daily. So just a word to the wise!

Traffic increased 178% (page views) and AdSense revenue increased 238%.

But you are already showing large block on your blog, so I don’t think this plugin would help.

hopefully, it’s less than 1!

what about the ratio of traffic growth to revenue growth?

@Patrick – I’m sure you will love the result.

@Living Off Dividends – The revenue has been growing steadily. Regarding removing the lowest performing ad, I do the same as well.

i created separate ad channels for different placements, and removed the lowest eCPM ones.
that boosted my revenue and eCPM.

very interesting. i’ll check it out.

while your eCPM has obviously increased, has your actual revenue gone up or down?
