Summer Tune-up

With Summer officially upon us, you may be thinking about ways to make a few more bucks. What better time to take a step back and objectively consider your site? We have a couple quick tips that can help you earn more.

Could I be driving more visitors?

Experts, such as Darren Rowse at ProBlogger, have great tips on creating content to attract regular visitors. All the widgets in the world won't be helpful without visitors. Take a little time to read through some of his suggestions and see if they are right for you

Could a change in size boost performance?

In our testing, we have found that 728x90, 300x250 and 160x600 widgets perform better than 120x600 and 468x600. If you can find ways to replace your under-performing widgets with better sizes, you will increase your opportunity to earn.

Could my widgets be in front of more eyes?

Finding ways to make your ads stand apart from the standard placements can help you earn more. Widgets placed above-the-fold traditionally earn better than out-of-view placements. Think about ways to get your ads in front of more eyes. Some publishers even load widgets right into the bottom of every blog post so the widgets show up in RSS feeds.

Take a little time to consider changes that will help you earn more, and if you have questions be sure to drop an email to help(at)widgetbucks(dot)com.

We would love to hear from you.
