When should you place advertisements on your website?
Have you recently launched a new website or have you begun to consider advertising as a form of monetization?
Do you wonder when to incorporate adverts on your website if you have an established digital presence and solid blog content?
Here are two crucial indicators that can help you arrange adverts on your website correctly, as well as what you should do next.
When should I add advertisements on my website?
Here’s why you should have advertising on your website:
- You receive over 1,000 visits per day (organic visits ahem ahem).
- You’ve written at least 50 blog posts (long-form written content with pictures).
You’re probably asking why this is so important in the ‘blog world.’
Do you have a sufficient amount of written content published?
If you want to display adverts on your website, you must have a sufficient volume of written material to be monetized afterward.
After deciding to monetize using Google AdSense, you must review the content-to-ad-ratio policies to ensure that you fulfill the qualifying criteria and minimum requirements.
The pages listed below are instances of undesirable or unacceptable content:
- Plagiarizing written material from other sources without giving credit or adding value (no one likes facing copyright infringement).
- Blog postings with more advertisements than written content In the long run, too many popup adverts might worsen bounce rates.
- Ad pages that are hosted.
- Content that is generated automatically without any curation or manual inspection.
- Pages with no content
- Pages that fail to follow Google’s Webmaster Quality Guidelines.
You’ll be OK if you can even have 25-55 blog posts published.
Is the word count of your articles between 800-3500 words?
That suggests your content-to-ad ratio is far over the acceptable level. Following this, you are free to accept Google AdSense monetization approval.
You’re probably wondering what steps you may take to enhance your overall AdSense revenue legally. According to previous data, the top ten websites with the highest revenue payouts have an average of 90-100 blog articles.
Blog postings with 20-25 article entries did not appear to generate enough Google AdSense money (YIKES!)
Few publishers recognize the importance of high-quality content as a traffic mover. If you produce a blog article every other day, you will see consistent development in your AdSense revenue and organic visitors in 4-6 months.
Numbers do not deceive!
Do you receive 100 organic visits a day?
Consider installing advertisements on your website after a strong week of growth.
Publishers are ready to go after they reach 100 visitors per day organically and maintain that level of consistency for seven days. Once your website’s traffic has gradually increased, placing advertising on it is the best way to go.
Here’s an example of a publisher with a positive traffic curve who is getting more than 100 organic visitors each day.
How do I place advertisements on my website?
Have you ever considered how online advertisements work?
There are both advertisers and publishers.
Publishers desire to use advertisements to sell their written material and fund their blogs.
Advertisers are aiming to increase their internet reach and brand awareness through ad campaigns.
Always look for advertisers who meet the niche of your website that you want to monetize. The Display Lumascape is made up of many of these partners. The key players in the ad industry here include monetization platforms and header bidding services.
Publishers frequently discover that too many hands in the money pot take more than they give back, and the remainder are outright crooks aiming to profit from the value you’ve created.
Apply for Google AdSense to easily add adverts to your website.
Despite having thousands of potential partners, Google’s AdExchange consistently wins 85-95% of bids.
Furthermore, we’ve found that monetizing through header bidding and multiple demand partners yields only minor returns.
As a result, Google AdSense is the simplest and most successful option for publishers to display advertisements on their websites.
Choosing to monetize through several demand partners will provide you with a competitive advantage.
How much do online advertisements pay?
Advertisements are priced as follows:
When there is a direct arrangement with the publisher, the fee is flat.
- Clicks.
- Impressions.
By far, the most common are impressions and clicks.
The most frequent indicator used to evaluate publisher revenue is page RPM (Revenue per mille).
Page RPM = (Estimated Earnings/Total Page Views) * 1000
CPMs and eCPMs have repeatedly demonstrated that they are insufficient KPIs for total revenue improvement.
The CPM is the price paid for every ad space, whereas the eCPM represents the overall price for all ads on a page.
Because it does not account for additional page views per session, the RPM metric, which measures income per thousand impressions, does not adequately reflect publisher performance. Long-term success of a website is determined by factors such as UX, profitability, visits, and SEO (these metrics are not considered by RPM).
CPC versus CPM
CPM stands for Cost Per Thousand Impressions or Cost Per Mille. It is the fee paid by advertisers for each ad space.
The major question is how you will be compensated.
You’ll be paid based on how many times the ad was aired. CPC, on the other hand, is an abbreviation for ‘Cost per Click.’ CPC pays you entirely based on the amount of ad clicks.
Advertisers benefit from both the CPC and CPM schemes. Previously, AdSense employed a CPC basis, but it became clear that users were clicking their own ads to boost their revenue. AdSense has now converted to a CPM model. Advertisers in this situation pay a set fee for 1000 ad impressions.
It is not necessary for people to click on your adverts in order for you to earn money.
Do I have to follow any policies while displaying advertisements on my website?
There are numerous ad demand partners available, however, some may not adhere to rigorous regulations. Because Google AdX is Google’s crown jewel, numerous ad network partners from around the world source their demand from Google AdExchange or DFP.
You can see how powerful Google’s presence has gotten by lingering over advertising. If you mouse over the ad and see “Doubleclick” anywhere in the URL, Google’s AdExchange won the bid for that ad space.
As a result, if you want to work with Google’s ad demand, you must adhere to their standards.
Here’s a comprehensive guide to AdSense program policies that covers all you need to know to stay Google compliant.
Here’s a summary of Google’s AdSense policies:
- There are no encouraging views or clicks. There will be no false clicks or impressions.
- Ad code embedding on site pages with “restricted” content.
- There will be no advertisements on blogs with sensitive topics.
- There is no ad code in the site’s secret regions.
- Don’t forget to add yourself as an approved merchant when using Ads.txt.
- Avoid tampering with the Google AdSense code.
- Users should not be able to change their settings, be redirected, download software, or be subjected to popups that obstruct navigation.
- Add or disclose no personal identifying information or facts.
- Consider credit card details. Follow the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act at all times (COPPA). There is no bot traffic. (SEO or sponsored adverts for human traffic)
How many advertisements can I install on my website?
There is no limit to the quantity of advertisements you can place on your website.
If your primary goal is to increase ad income and reach out to genuine individuals. The quantity of advertising you place on your site might have an impact on your ad revenue, both positively and negatively. You can always split test and see if 4 ads are sufficient or if 6 ads are required.
Split testing and multivariate testing aid in the long-term optimization of ad revenue. Aside from the amount of advertising, there are numerous more indicators that influence publishers’ ad revenue.
The characteristics are as follows:
- Placement of advertisements.
- Color and ad design
- Size of the advertisement.
- Characteristics of reader behavior
Also crucial are user experience metrics such as bounce rates, exit rates, pages per session, and time spent on the blog.
Am I selecting the best ads for my website?
Ideally, you want to boost ad relevancy without decreasing advertiser demand on your site. Although you cannot choose every ad that appears on your website, you can always choose the ad category in which it appears.
If your blog’s specialty is built on contentious issues, such as politics, consider filtering ads that may be sensitive or fall into prohibited categories.
Increasing the Visibility of Your Ad
An advertisement served is not always an advertisement viewed.
Viewability is a metric that determines how visible your adverts are on the internet. To be deemed viewed, a banner or creative must be displayed for at least 50% of its duration.
As a result, if your adverts are positioned at the bottom of your website but visitors do not scroll down to view them, you will not obtain viewable impressions.
As a result, advertisers may avoid using your domain to serve their adverts.
That is not what anyone wants! PubGuru Header bidding can be useful in this situation. To get that ad money rolling, make sure your ad viewability is up to par.
Finishing Touches
The process of determining when and how to display advertisements on your website isn’t as difficult as you would imagine.
Stop believing rumors that advertising is terrible for user experience. In fact, your post-ad insertion user experience metrics only improve.
They improve UX by inserting adverts in strategic areas. The last thing you want is a blocked site or a lack of interaction between your content and the personas of your visitors.
Choosing and displaying the proper ads can be challenging, but we’re here to assist.
