Jon, how much more would you have made if you used YPN instead of Adsense on Tookle?

I see how you "tweaked" your ads (disabling the 2 images that say video on top so users then go straight to the ad links) I was going to suggest that as well but I wasn't sure what Google would think about that since the images are so close to the ads. Btw, are you blocking any low paying sites in your adsense filter from John Chow's list? http://www.johnchow.com/using-the-competitive-ad-filter-to-increase-adsense-earnings/ Nice job, Jon.

But even though your CPM and CTR go up, your total clicks will go down, and so will revenue. Example... From a single ad... $20 from 1k impressions = $20 CPM After adding an extra ad... $30 from 2k impressions = $15 CPM ... CTR and CPM go down, BUT your earnings have increased because you're dealing with that many more impressions. At least that's what I've noticed over my sites. After adding 3 ads my income shot up by about 30% overnight. Try it. Run 3 ads, all well blended and I'm pretty sure it'll get Tookle over $20/day.

Also maybe check your media player updates... From many years of testing I have figured out that less ads are better. Less ads mean the CTR go up, then the CPM goes up. A perfect example is tookle.com. I haven't touched anything but tweaking the ads :) Chromate – I will address your comment in the next post

Well, at least I don't think they load... I gave up after a few minutes of waiting. I found this to be true on one of my sites once. Once the script stopped working, CTR skyrocketed because people are wanting to leave your site, so they click a related ad. I doubt you're doing this on purpose, but you might want to check into it. From what I've heard, google does not like it if you have ads on a broken site? But who knows really. I am wondering if your CTR is so high because none of your videos load.
