Thats a great idea for integration. Good job.

Thank you. So far it's done a great job.

if it is only doing 2 or 3 percent like mentioned earlier then I don't think that is all that great 11% or better and I am sold.

:1eye: 11%? Numbers like that are extremely high...

and where do you get 11%?

lol, if you'd get 11% I guess Google will think you are clicking you own ads...

Yea I was thinking the same, a good chance of a banning!

Perhaps he meant POINT 11 %?

as in .11% (instead of .02% .03%)

OR,

perhaps he was talking about the INCREASE. If he's getting 1.4% CTR, then an 11% increase would be a CTR of 1.6%.

I don't think 11% is that high or that you'll get banned by google for having 11% CTR. I have websites that get way over 11% one of them as high as a little over 40%, and I don't click on my own ads, and haven't been banned.

Are the impressions high on this website of yours?

not much, somewhere between 550 and 600 impressions daily. Another website that has higher than 40% too has less, not even 100 impressions daily.

Although it is very good integration, isn't it frowned upon by google?

I don't think it's frowned upon. I mean, that's very good way to have a site running.

I thought the author posted that on SP and decided not to keep it up since it seemed pretty questionable? Either he changed his mind or someone ripped his idea haha.

I've never posted this on sitepoint, and most certainly didn't 'rip' the idea from anywhere. While it would be absurd to think other people haven't thought about it also, I haven't seen it anywhere.

The targeting seems a little off considering there's no original content on either page...

Mine's been around 4-5% in the past couple of days with my site.

For anyone using that small script I wrote, I would love to hear what kind of results you've had.

Thanks!

That is simply very nice and unique.

Pity that YPN doesn't allow that

The new version of the script has been changed anyways.. the ad background is now black instead to make it stand out. I believe Greg said that the CTR has actually increased with this method instead of making them blend in 100%.
