Ads placed within the flow of a long-form article often perform better than sidebar ads.
Use Google Auto Ads to let AI determine the best placement, but manually check that they don't ruin the user experience. 4. Block Low-Performing Categories
Use the "Allow & Block Ads" feature in your AdSense dashboard.
Don’t over-block; reducing competition for your ad slots can actually drive prices down. 5. Focus on Keyword Intent Use SEO tools to find keywords with high Commercial Intent .
If your site is general, create sub-sections or high-quality articles focusing on these high-CPC topics. 2. Optimize for High-Value Geographies
Advertisers in certain countries have higher marketing budgets.
