I am writing from my tablet, its not the fucking same. Call me old fashion but a real keyboard is the shit.
Doing nothing mostly in pain I have a lot of time to think. My earning dropped when I change my ads to responsive. I have notice becouse the responsive ads don't have strict dimension most of the ads are txt ads that are shitty, I have noticed the good ads are in the big format 336x280.
The problem with responsive and the 336 format is when viewed by you mobile up strait 30% of the ad is not shown its white space blow. Its strange why the ads can be wide but it can stretch down below?
But also there is a problem with the responsive ads, 10-15% of the ads are also not shown, so google responsive ads sucks.
The think is with the fits ones I think when the ads is only 60% visible the visitors are increasing what the ad is about as they can't see it all so probably becouse of that, I have better CTR.
I will show you the two images and see what I am talking about.
This is one of my older post with normal 336x280 ad format. You can notice that the ads is most likely 30-40% not visible. I don't know why as there is space below.
This is a responsive ad. You can also notice here that the at is also not totally visible, its probably only 70% visible. I needed to refresh 10 times to find an ad with an image to compare it. The responsive ads don't really work that well for the mobile viewers.
I think I will switch to to my 336 ads as I notice there the more paying ads are showing and also I think people are intrigued by what is in the ad an may be willing to click on it just to find out.
Hey man I agree your adsense earnings are very low. I've heard some people get higher RPM on mylikes and chacha than on adsense, you should try them.
That will be my backup if I can't find a common ground with google I might start testing other networks.
How many impressions you are getting from around 1k unique visitors?
Have you implemented the paginated post?
Yes I tried with one post and it was terrible for me. My theme is not that great for paginated posts as the next page is small and is in a place where you can hardly see it. I try fix in it and there is so much I can do as I am not really that into coding, I have made it larger and at the beginning and end of the post but still the results where terrible.
...But I might try it again to be sure
