Plugin

A few weeks ago, Alex from Net Entrepreneur wrote an article about using Adsense on a site related to the MMO. What he said is that people in MMO have become blind to ads and normally won´t click on them (although Griz is proving otherwise with his MMO blog and gives many reasons why it can work, all throughout his blog).

There is one point Alex makes though, which probably indicates the difference between Adsense working well or not at all, and that is the type of traffic you get and how they arrived at your site. He suggested to manually put in adsense ads, only on specific pages that started picking up on organic traffic, arriving at a certain page through a search engine, looking for specific information.
I thought that was a pretty cool idea if you are only running a few sites and you can spend quite some time on checking all your stats and tweaking and twitching every single page to “perfection”… but what happens if you are running many different pages, 20, … 30, …. 50, …. 100 or even more?

Well, it looks like I found that answer when opening up my inbox this morning and found a post by Court, How to Show Ads to Search Engine Traffic. (BTW… congrats on breaking the 3000 RSS mark!)

Court has found a plugin for wordpress, making it possible to select which type of traffic sees adsense ads. For example, you can set up your blog in a way that only traffic coming from searchengines will see Adsense ads, while visitors coming from social sites, entrecard, regular visitors who have bookmarked your blog etc, won´t see the ads at all, therefore probably increasing your CTR and thus in the long run getting more revenue per click.

Could this be the answer?
