Check your Adsense account, Dave – or put in a ticket with Google Adsense customer service. If there’s a problem, I’m sure they can sort it out.

I think site targeted ads (pay per impression) are better for websites with more technical audence, where 99.90 % of the visitors are not going to click on advert or banner ever. If I for example have 0.10% ClickThroughRatio, for 1000 impressions I may learn much more than with the pay per click program. I think it shall be available for the webmaster to select what ad types he prefers, taking the decision on his own. As I said in my case I prefer and would like more pay per impression. I see everyone prefers per click, but I guest each one to his own.

Turning this option off would only remove “Advertise on this site” link from the ad units. Advertisers will still be able to select your site for site-targeting from their AdWords accounts.

I will have to look into this. I did notice on several occassions…no “clicks” (small blog here) on some days but some change made. I was like…how did I make anything if not “clicks”…noticed something about the impressions. I’ll see what I can do on mine about those type ads. Thanks as always…great info.

hi LYNN,

Thanks for this info. i didn’t know that we have accessto this kind of reports. IMO site targeting ads which is pay per impression will only be shown on ad unit with type ‘ image’. so instead of using google_ad_type = “text_image” use google_ad_type = “text”.

[...] Many people believe that these type of ads perform poorly and that you can increase your eCPM by showing only the normal, contextual Adsense Ads. You can check out this post at Webmaster Forums, or this one at ClickNewz for some background info. [...]

[...] I wont be following this advice, though. The URL’s that I have listed in my Competitive Ad Filter are those that were “site targeting” my websites. For more on that, see: Adsense – Getting Paid Per Impression. [...]

Oddly enough I get more from site targeted ads than from contextual. I suppose this is due to the site’s language (Portuguese in this case). But I never had realized this feature was possible.

I will continue to monitoring it to see if I get huge diferences.

Thanks, Henrik – it will be interesting to hear what they have to say on the topic. I am guessing there is nothing we can do about it from our end…

I was wrong…

Just checked again today, and Site targeted ads are back

So I left a ticket with AdSense Support – will keep you posted…

Yes, this may be beneficial to websites with insane amounts of traffic… but not to the everday webmaster where competition is not so high “on site”…

This what Google says “you should see a revenue benefit from new advertisers signing up to display ads on your site, as greater competition for your ad space will lead to higher potential earnings for you.”
