manage this through its toolbar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere’s how I use this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On brand new posts, I typically disable posts for the first 2 weeks. This is the period during which I get my regular followers in through social, my newsletter, and so on — and when I’m not yet getting any SEO traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since we’re typically talking only a few hundred visitors anyway, I’m not missing out on a lot of ad revenue by switching it off during a post’s debut period. (They’ll still see a sidebar ad though.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Admittedly this is a very specific tweak, so whether you want to bother with this is up to you. But I think it’s nice to give my regular readers a somewhat cleaner reading experience. Rather than earn a few pennies or cents on ads with them, I’d rather have them click an affiliate link or feel inspired to buy my info product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I coded a way to do this automatically, so it doesn’t take me any effort to implement. Though I admit this one’s a bit of finicky customization that may not be worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Disable cheap-looking ads<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Finally, I think ads are much more tolerated if they are of a good standard. In pretty much any ad network, you can go into the settings and exclude certain ad themes from being displayed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Mediavine under Opt Out<\/strong> I’ve excluded various categories including Downloadable Utilities, Get Rich Quick<\/em>, and Sensationalism<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nI’ve been a Mediavine partner since 2017 and I love having this highly reliable revenue stream. But I also want to prevent users from being overwhelmed by ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The ad networks will generally encourage you to show as many ads as you can. They’ll also often warn you that certain settings can negatively affect your RPM. These warnings are well-intentioned — and from their perspective, it makes sense to want to maximize ad inventory. However, I think you should always use your own judgment as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There can be certain (unseen) costs to having too many ads, so it’s up to you to strike the right balance for your particular blog. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
