Comparison between Page-level-ads and normal ads.

I thought this topic could be handle at its best only with an infographic. So, this is for you.
 
Page-level-ads earnings Case Study.

I was not a member of AdSense for a long time so, showing my report would not contribute to some sort of serious facts.

Henceforth, I searched over some case studies of other bloggers those who were convincing.

And the most insightful case study I got from saumya majumdar .

Earlier when he did an experiment with sticky ads for only one day by taking AdSense permission. (Do not try this at home.)

He was baffled with the results! an increase of 700% in his daily  adsense income. 

Could you think of that?

If you don't know what sticky ads are then they get stick somewhere in your site so that even when visitor scrolls the page they are there same like the anchor/overlay ads.

Because it's obvious that anyone can easily get their attention on it so it gets max clicks and also more view time and in total increase in earnings.
 
But when he worked out with Page-level-Ads it increased 275% revenue on first day but gradually decreased to 50% mostly because these ads do not function always and works at optimal times to reduce the possibility of any type of bad user experience. 
How to setup Page-Level-ads?

1) log into your adsense account.

2) Go to My Ads > Content > Page-level-ads.
           

3) Toggle on both anchor/overlay ads and vignette ads.

4)Now get the code.

5)Head over to Blogger >Theme >Edit Html.

6)Click anywhere in the code and press CTRL+F.

7)In the search box search for </head> and above </head> place your code.


8)And in that AdSense change async to async='' or otherwise you will see this error message from blogger.

Error parsing XML, line 1476, column 15: Attribute name "async" associated with an element type "script" must be followed by the ' = ' character.

Now it's time to test them -> Open your mobile device and type www.yoururl.com/#googleads. And select the type of ad that you want to test.

Page-level-ads are not working?

This is the worst you can expect to happen.

But don't worry, this may be happening because:

1) You are not using supported browser to view ads.

For Android: Default Android browser, Google Chrome, Opera are supported while Firefox and Opera Mini not supported.

For IOS: Google Chrome, Safari are supported while Opera Mini is also not supported here.

For Windows: Not supported on any browser.

2) Your device is not compatible.

For Android: Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwhich and higher.

For IOS: IOS5 and higher.

For Windows: Sorry! get an Android or IOS Device.

3) The device is not in portrait mode. (Only shown in portrait mode.)

4) Your browser's current zoom is not in neutral.

5)You can get error message in your browser like this:

Page-level ad format disabled in AdSense Front End.
To fix this issue see if you have toggle on both the ad formats in step 3. 

If its still prevailing then watch out if you are watching the ads on your web version of your site in your mobile device. If yes then get to the mobile version.

And if you have still bad luck then clear the cache from mobile browser or from the server side.

I think you can clear the cache from your mobile browser but for server side you need to watch out on your own.

Over to you:

Putting Ads from AdSense is always beneficial.

And Page-level-ads for monetizing mobile traffic is great.
