I couldn’t agree more about the importance of constantly testing and experimenting - a small change can reap huge rewards!

I went from changing my ad banner size, and just placing one larger button on the sidebar, and I’m still making some change from it.

It seems like it’s actually been better than the complete site wide ads

Hi Zac,
It is always so much powerful to see the results than just opinions and talk. My blog is fairly new 30 days and I am not doing any monetization on it yet, well the blog is more of an my web business building experince.

Thanks for being transparent

Hey Tim,

I’m running AuctionAds in some secondary ad spots… so anything it makes is really just gravy. I would also recommend Adsense over AuctionAds if you had to make a decision between the two.

Hi Zac,

I only started using Auction Ads a few days ago. No sales yet but I didn’t expect a whole lot to show up yet. I suspect Auction Ads would be much better on product websites than webmaster related websites.

You have a lot of traffic to work with but I’m wondering if you would be better off with Adsense in those spots? Even at an average of 5 sent a click from Adsense you would be making almost double what you are making now. Even CPM banners might make you a lot more. Sending traffic away at an ave of about 2.5 cent a click seems almost like a waste.

By the way, thanks for dropping by my blog. My own AuctionAds review is here: http://www.emonetized.com/30/AuctionAds-review/

Great stuff, it does seem quite funny that that day dropped so much. I’ve just started using Auction Ads myself, and I think it would be nice if the reporting included a breakdown of the commissions, ie. the value of each bit of commission and what it was for (purchase, sale, new user etc)
