Tencent is one of China’s most famous tech companies. It has been dominating the gaming, social media, online music markets in China for over a decade, and still shows great growth potential. But where can you buy Tencent stock?

There are three ways. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

The first method: You can buy Tencent shares from the US stock market. The stock symbol for Tencent ADR shares is: TCEHY. This is the easiest way if you are an investor from the Unite States. You can also buy its shares even if you are not in the US or a non-US citizen. Many internet based stock brokers allow their users to invest in US stocks regardless of which country they are from.

The second way is to buy Tencent shares through the Hong Kong stock exchange. This might turn out to be difficult for many because only investors from Hong Kong or mainland china are allowed to buy Hong Kong stocks. The stock symbol for Tencent in HKEX(Hong Kong’s Stock Exchange) is: 0700.

The final approach is to buy Tencent shares indirectly through ETFs(Exchange Traded Funds). Find US ETFs that have invested heavily in Tencent shares, and you’ll benefit from the price gains of Tencent stock. Because when Tencent share price move up, your ETF’s value will also tend to move up.

Is it true that reducing ads per page will increase my overall AdSense earnings?

Posted on by

As we all know, the income a webmaster makes from Google AdSense is largely determined by the Cost Per Click (CPC) of ads. The higher the CPC, the higher the income. On the contrary, if the CPC is low, the earnings will suffer.

In an effort to improve advertising revenue, many website publishers try to put more ads on a single page. However, the result is often disappointing. So now here comes the big question: If we reduce the number of ads on the page, can we effectively increase the CPC and thus increase our overall ad revenue?

The short answer: It’s probably not the case.

According to a quick test we’ve done on sites that we own, reducing the number of ads per page does not see a significant increase in CPC. On the contrary, the decrease of the ad number seemed to have caused the drop of ad clicks. In addition, it seemed like CPM is also reduced due to the decrease of the number of ads. Our test time didn’t last long, so the result might not be convincing enough. But I think it at least offered an angle on how things work here.

There are many discussions and debates on this topic around the Internet but few has drawn a solid and convincing conclusion that’s backed by data or results.

One important fact I have to point out here though: Google has removed the per page ad limit back in 2018, which I think says a lot about the company’s view on ads number. More ads don’t necessarily mean it’s a bad thing. Plus, what Google auto ads do is also to put more ads on a page when it sees fit. so that also proves that more ads is not evil, right?

So I guess the conclusion here is: Don’t flood your visitors with ads, which will turn them off. But also avoid showing them too few ads, because you won’t be able to make enough money. Put yourself into your visitors’ shoes, and ask yourself: Will I be annoyed if I see this many ads? Do some experiments and I’m sure you will find your ideal number of ads per page.
