Google’s crawler’s don’t see click their ads. If your site is better indexed then you’ll get more optimized ads. That is more likely to explain your increased CTR.

I’ve noticed that Google has stepped up it’s crawling activities, it went deep on one of our sites that has been around for 4-5 months, but had been ignored. They are probably looking to increase their page count, since Yahoo recently touted 20 million pages. In all that crawling, our site’s ads have been clicked on much, much more. We are used to a .05% CTR, now we are seeing 5-6%.

So, Google is chasing Yahoo trying to find new pages, and clicking on their own ads at the same time.

I think that it is a combination of factors that is bringing my earnings up. Whatever it is I am not complaining.

That sounds plausible, Chris. I was thinking that it seems less likely to me that it could be explained by the new ad count & size variability, because I’d think that would really only affect the CTR, and Jason says it’s just a couple more clicks.

Though I suppose showing fewer ads with the same CTR would mean that visitors are more likely to click on higher paying ads. Maybe it’s a combination of factors?

I posted a theory on webdevsource.com that people leaving for Yahoo would leave more money in the Google Adsense pot. Perhaps the higher paying ads are just showing because less publishers are showing ads and running out the ad monies. It makes sense that less publishers showing ads means more money for those who stay with it as we get more of the inventory to show. I don’t think Google is paying more, we are just getting more ads than before with some people trying out yahoo.

If anything the competition from Yahoo would probably drive prices lower. My guess is that the increase Jason is seeing is a seasonal one – back to school ads are everywhere so I’m sure the bid amount for anything in that space has gone up.

My earning per click has increased these few days with similar CTR. But my traffic is too little to tell something. :)
