Google Adsense College

Once you start to learn more about the Google AdSense program and start incorporating it onto the pages on your Web site, you’ll find that there are a number of different variations on AdSense, and that while “AdSense for Content” is the most popular, there’s also AdSense for Search and AdSense for Feeds, among others. But do they all pay out at the same rate for a given clickthru, even if displaying the same advertisement from the same merchant?

Turns out that I received a question on this exact topic and have explained why AdSense for Search is not, in fact, anywhere as profitable as AdSense for Content, at:

If you haven’t gotten started with AdSense yet, then you might well be missing a chance to monetize your Web site traffic in a way that’s really a win/win for everyone involved. Learn more: AdSense.

With all of the different AdSense products we now offer, it can be tough to keep track of the maximum number of each type of unit that our program policies allow. To help you remember these important numbers, here’s a list.

On any policy-compliant page, you can display:

ONE…
- video unit (currently only available in specific countries and languages, though we’re working to expand video units to additional publishers soon)

TWO…
- AdSense for search boxes

THREE…
- standard AdSense for content ad units, and
- 3 link units

While you can place all of these on one page, please also keep the user experience in mind. We strongly recommend maintaining a balance between the number of ads and the unique, quality content on your site, which will keep your readers engaged and coming back for more. Also, the more text-based content you have on your site, the more relevant your ads will be.

If you’d like help with generating ad code for additional ad units, feel free to review our Generating Ad Code video or our Quick Start Guide.
