bloggers who want income to be publishers are faced with the question of how to balance content and advertising to provide the best experience for your users. Nothing really fits all things. Because every site / blog and app is different, with different types of content, goals, and users, which means that the balance of content and ads will look different from publisher to one another. When faced with this challenge, it is important to ensure that you give your blog visitors what they are looking for in a format that is easy to search and navigate, and this includes ads on pages or apps.
Some tips to consider:
1. King Content.
The King Content is the reason users visit your site/blog or app. If you think about it, users visit your site for a reason, whether they're looking for recipes, how to build a birdhouse, or try to find out what's going on in their city. By providing them with the information they are looking for, you meet their needs at that time they most need it. Check out this blog post to learn more about this micro-moment win.
2. Design the site or app around the user's journey.
By making your content a focal point on the page, and following best standard web practices, you can create sites that are visually appealing and easy for users to use and navigate. Check out the AdSense for Audience Engagement Guide for best practices in designing user trips, not just web pages.
3. Use ads for sites or apps.
Ads should always complement the content on your site, not vice versa. So when you place an ad unit on your site, consider the user's journey and how the ad format will complement your site and provide value to your users. If you want your ad to look more natural, and match the nuances of your content, consider using an original ad unit. For example, news and article publishers may consider using an original-style format called Matched Content at the bottom of each article to direct readers to other relevant content on the same site. This strategy can help grow readers and ad business.
4. Test, test, test and test again.
At the end of the day, the data will be the source of truth. If you are considering implementing new ad units, run an AdSense experiment to see how they perform. Also, test different formats to see what works best for your users and your pages.
Remember, content is king and that's the most important thing for visitors on your site. So you should always have more content from ads on each page.
