Dear publisher,
We believe in the idea of "Focus on the user and all else will follow." Likewise, in order for you to generate traffic and grow your site, it's important to understand your users, their goals, and how they interact with your site. With that our last "Tip of the Month" in 2011 focuses on improving user experience. You can also find updates on: - AdSense Success Story: i-do.com.au

| | | Tip of the Month | 
Understand your users to improve their experience
Users with a positive experience during their visit are more likely to stay longer on your site, return to your site in the future, or recommend your site to others. Your site's content should focus on helping users achieve their goals - while meeting your business goals.
Understanding how users interact with your site will help you identify pages that could be improved. Moreover, it will help you find optimal placements for your ad units. Remember, users come to your site to see your content, so ads which are positioned where they enter your site, engage with content, and leave your site are more visible and thus perform better.
Google Analytics provides webmasters with many tools for measuring website traffic, and gives you insights into your visitors' flow through a site. It allows you to get information on the engagement of users with your content, or the retention rate. With custom reports you can track and visualise different dimensions and metrics about your audience. Once you know which sections of your site are most popular and which links are most clicked, you can place your ads near those areas. Ads placed near rich content and navigational aids for example usually do well because they naturally get a lot of attention.

Improving ad relevance and targeting
If you've ever experienced ad targeting issues on your site, leading to irrelevant ads or blank space, you might be interested in learning about the five most common reasons:
1. The ad code is not in the same frame as the main content of your website. 2. Your site contains mainly non text-based content. 3. The AdSense crawler has no access to your pages. 4. You are using an individual session ID for each user. 5. The language of your text-based content is not supported by AdSense.
