Building niche sites and monetizing them with Google Adsense is one of the most popular ways to make money online.
When it comes to optimizing the Adsense ads, you mostly think about adjusting the colors of texts and links to match the design of your website and then place them in tactical spots on your pages.
After years of experience (and you probably know this too), I found out that the most converting places to insert the Adsense ads are on top and below the content, or, if your articles are long enough, within the blog posts.
But the overall characteristics of each website are always different. I’m talking about the topic covered, layout and design of the site, type and format of ads, etc.
If Adsense is one of your main income streams, then I’m sure you are running different tests on your ads, to find out the most converting solutions.
Of course, this requires both time and knowledge.
What if there was an online tool (free for up to 10,000 daily page views) that does this for you?
In this post, I’m going to introduce you AdNgin, a solution to boost your AdSense revenue and optimize user experience through continuous testing.
How to Get Started with AdNgin
To get started, you can visit this page to request a demo.
Just add your name, email, website URL and estimated daily page views:
Once you get access to the dashboard, you can add a project and grab the script code to install on your site.
If you are running a WordPress blog, it’s even easier, because you can download the AdNgin plugin, by visiting this link on WordPress directory:
Now you’re ready to start testing and boosting your Adsense ads!
How to Use AdNgin
On your account, you’ll notice the “dashboard” and the “experiments” tabs.
Visit the dashboard tab to check your analytics. This section is divided into 2 areas:
- Earnings tab, showing what you earned with Adsense in that specific period, with indication of “page RPM” and “CTR”
- Performance tab, with the number of optimized views, clicks and CTR
The experiments tab is where you can set up everything.
If you want to do it by yourself, you first need to define “pages”, which are actually the subtype of pages within your website.
Now you want to create experiments for those pages, which are blocks of ad placements that you add within a live preview. The editor is quite simple to understand and you can choose a diverse type of ads.
You may also want to build different versions of each placement within your experiments. This way, you can evaluate what performs better: if a text or an image, for example.
Does this seem quite hard to understand?
Then the support team will be very happy to set up everything for you (this was my case).
My Experience with AdNgin
I tested AdNgin with one of my niche sites (monetized with Adsense), which unfortunately generated just a few dozen of page views per day.
After three weeks of testing, the results were really impressing!
CTR went up from 0.2% to 0.8%, which is an increase of 400% in a 3 week periods.
The experiments being ran on the site were:
On Desktop:
- Sidebar ads rotated between 250*250 ad unit and a 160*600 ad unit
- An Above the fold ad unit that rotated between 3 ads: 486*60, 336*280, 300*250
- Below the fold unit: 300*250, 336*280
As mentioned, here were barely enough page views to assess this, but the 160*600 had a lift of 6% over the 250*250.
Surprisingly, the 486*60 had a lift of 12% over the other ad units in the group and the below the fold group didn’t get any clicks so hard to assess.
On Mobile:
- Above the fold box banner rotated between 250*250 and 300*250
- Another below the fold ad group rotated between 160*600 and 300*250
Note: there weren’t enough clicks on either.
Bottom line is that the experiments increased CTR by 400% compared to the same period of time before the experiment ran.
Pretty impressive, right?
Now think about this improvement on sites with big page views numbers!

Great Review.
Thanks for the adngin review. I can test with it in order to increase my adsense earnings.
Hi Shajeer,
let me know how it goes!
Hi Erik! Thanks the review. I see, You use Buysellads instead of Adsense. Why? Is Buysellads better in long term? Or is Buysellads better with Adngin?
Regards, Attila
Hi Attila,
nope, AdNgin is just for Adsense.
I use BuySellAds too for this blog, but I’ve several niche sites that I monetize with Google ads.
It’s good to have different monetization strategies with diverse online properties. 🙂
Hello Erik,
Thanks for introducing with the AdNgin and awesome review about it. I’ll surely try AdNgin to increase my AdSense earnings.
Good luck with your site, Fakharuddin!
Erik, this is quite interesting.
Are you also saying that they automatically rotate different ad sizes as a way to A/B test the best ones?
Ive never put much effort into real testing, but this could turn into a potential solution.
Thanks for letting us know about the service!
Elvis
Yes, they do that, Elvis.
Pretty interesting, right?
You may want to give it a go.
Thanks for checking this out!
Hi Erik!
The tool is looking great i will sure use this tool once i will achieved my target. Right now i am earning 80$ in a month once i will start earning 150$ i will sure try this tool once.
Glad to hear that, Mukesh .
And good luck with your site!
I’m definitely giving this a shot! My Adsense CTR and CPC have been in the dumps the past few months for some reason, and I tried to fix it but kind of just gave up on it.
Hi Fred,
good to hear that!
And it would be nice if you will be able to share your experience after trying AdNgin.
Thanks!
I am gonna use this tool for sure. I hope it will increase my AdSense earnings.
Thank You so much for the post.
Good luck with your venture, Katy! 🙂
Hi can you tell me the profile for the increased traffic? Is it matching your buyer persona? or just attracting random people on your website? How AdNign can help me profiling the traffic in various categories such as Ardent website visitors and etc. I would love to understand the potential and try using it for my website.
Hi Ravish,
they keep testing the best ads to visualize on your site, they rotate and place different sizes. And more.
You may want to request a demo to understand it better.
Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
This is really a new idea and helpful guide for me.
Thanks for reviewing.
Give it a go, Satya!
Hey Erik how are you mate?
Thanks for introducing us to AdNgin, I will have to check that one out. I use AdSense on three small niche sites that I have. One site in particular gets a good amount of traffic but AdSense earnings have always been very low. I’ve done the usual stuff, adjust colours and background etc to match my site too.
I don’t have ads at the bottom of my posts though so I might fix this.
Best of luck with the rest of the test, I’ll be interested to see how far you can increase your AdSense earnings, but 400% increase is a good indicator that this can work.
Thanks again mate, all the best for now, Fabrizio.
Hi Fabrizio,
pleasure to read you! 🙂
Good to hear you own three sites monetized with Adsense, I think adNgin may be a good fit for those.
I’m not a techie guy, and the support team was so kind to set up everything for me.
And I just loved the results.
It would be nice to hear how your test goes.
And thanks for your visit and comment.
Take care, my friend. 🙂
This is something interesting Erik.
Adsense is the only primary source of my income.
This will really help me to increase my revenue.
Thanks a lot Erik.
Keep posting like this.
Cheers!.
Hi Riya,

Hello Erik,
Most of my sites are optimized with Adsense and I always look to maximize my Adsense income, After reading this Adngin review I will definitely try this plugin and let you know about my experience and results.

It’s free? Up to 10,000 daily page views? That’s just enough for me, right at the moment. Have to give you dozen of thanks for such efficient suggestion. (Y)
Yes, it’s free for that daily page views amount, Rocky.
Good to hear you are going to test it. Let me know how it goes!
Hello Erik,
Adsense is my one and only source of income from my blogs and low adsense CTR is an issue which is making me sad. I think Adngin can solve my problem and maximize my profit.
Thanks a ton for this useful and amazing review.
Hi Kiran,
I’d appreciate you’ll share here your experience with Adngin, so other readers can benefit from it, thanks!
Thanks a lot for the review. I am going to try it out alongside adsense for sure.
It’s working really well for my niche sites, monetized with Adsense.
Hello Erik,
Thank you for the detailed review, I found Adngin on Kingged, signed up for the services but never practiced it after that, going to try it now.
Great, Karan.
