FoldSpy is a simple service that allows you to optimize ad placements on your websites. It is more of a remotely hosted Javascript than a service. “Fold” is the part of the website that is visible without needing to scroll down. Because of different screen resolutions, browsers, user preferences and operating system, the fold is not the same for all the users. To maximize revenue from your ads, you want them to be visible to the majority of your visitors without scrolling: “above the fold”. FoldSpy finds the fold.

The screenshot shows the same website (CNN), but the folds are different due to the factors mentioned above.

Installing FoldSpy is very simple. It just involves one line of code. Though the site shows a demo video, it doesn’t provide a live demo. So here, i have added it to GotChance so that you guys can test drive it. Here : GotChance.com/#foldspy.

The basic service is free for everyone. However, they have an optional PRO account option for $6/year. I didn’t try it, but here is what they say.

Foldspy Pro has everything in Free but also records stats from your site, giving you data on the unique profile of your visitors.

I had actually planned to write a post on Choosing best Ad placements. But, i completely forgot about it. Now, you can expect in a day or two.
