Arbitrage Layout example

[emp]

An arbitrage example for the curious.

Getting me about 40% average CTR.

Centered design, 3 adspaces, ~500 words, .net domain.

Nice example, emp.
Have you tried this one with less adspaces (for increased EPC) and less images (for increased loading time) ?

If so, how did that affect your CTR?

wow that looks bad... suprised it gets 40%... i woulda thought 35% at best...

still not up to my 50% yet... keep trying.

Where are you getting traffic from? I think when mentioning CTR, it's also important to mention the source of the traffic because some PPC traffic is absolute trash (you'd get 0.001% CTR regardless of your layout) while some other sources are not so bad.

Content matters, too. On one page I'm getting 20-30% CTR, while on another page with the exact same layout but different niche it's 0-5%.

I am currently getting traffic from searchfeed.

I have also opened an account at 7search, but despite advertising the same site with the same and then some keywords, I am not getting any traffic from them....

Although 7search has been touted a lot here, it does shit all for me. :repuke:

Your getting 40% with searchfeed? Wow. I got like 5% with their traffic.

Nice CTR. Is the item on the left of the left ad "graphical cues" that line up the ad to it's right? Supposedly those increase CTR.

i got 75% CTR my first day with arbi with the layout i posted in another thread, unfortunately I hid the link ads too well as a navigation, and got loads of those clicks, and they pay shit,

You may find that the ads at the bottom aren't really helping you...IF you take them out you may get a higher EPC and your ctr may not change too much...
