Welcome to the final part of our World Cup series. Today we�ll share some AdSense-specific tips and tricks to help grow your revenue potential. We'll cover some old but steadfast recommendations plus more advanced seasonal optimisation tips to help ensure you�re well prepared for the World Cup.
1. Increase ad coverage: Place up to three ad units, plus three link units per page. This can help increase the click rates and views on your site, and potentially boost your earnings. It�s important to remember that a good balance between content and ads is essential. Placing too many ads on a page may cause a high bounce rate and loss in revenue.
2. Use the best performing ad formats: Wider ad formats usually perform better compared to others. Some ad formats also have more advertiser demand. Typically ad formats like the 728x90 Leaderboard, the 336x280 Large rectangle, the 300x250 Medium Rectangle, and the 300x600 Large Skyscraper are the most popular formats among the advertisers and more effective in terms of potentially increasing revenue. During big sporting events, advertisers are often focusing on viral engagement. Enabling expandable ads will help you capture this opportunity.
3. Be careful with blocking controls: Review which ad categories you�re currently blocking and why you�re blocking them. Overblocking can lead to a decline in your earnings potential, especially in times of increased traffic to your site and bigger advertiser spend on categories such as CPG, Auto, Entertainment Food and Beverage and Travel.
4. Ensure optimal ad position: Choosing the best locations to insert the ads can be challenging. Use Google Analytics to get a heatmap on where your users are clicking. You�ll also find more new resources on the AdSense Help Center regarding the best performing ad placements for each website category. Recently we have new articles about ad placement specific to sports and travel.
That wraps up our World Cup blog series. We hope you�ve gained some new insights, inspiration and ideas on getting your site ready for the World Cup. Check back here in a two weeks when we�ll be sharing news of a fantastic Google initiative around World Cup insights.
