Agree, this is what I'd like too.

So far I haven't noticed any ad size or location changes at all really. The only changes I notice stem from the design, so i think not having the Ezoic designs wouldn't be all that effective.

Most of my readers prefer these new designs. I've received many compliments from the 'layouts' Ezoic has on offer.

It's possible we might have a tendency to love our own designs that we helped create more-so than the average Joe.

The only downside is as it grows more popular we risk having the same old template as heaps of other sites and it will become noticeable. Part of the attraction of design is having a unique design.

Still, Ezoic counteracts that by allowing you to inherit your own fonts and sidebars so sites can vary to a degree.

Regardless of all that, I think in today's economy, if Ezoic is making you money, it will be hard turning away unless you aren't from the Western world.

Also, I am all for improving my site design, but for all of the 10 or so sites I have on your system, my original site design is at least 10 time better (more appealing). Now, I understand the whole point of your system is to optimize and that putting more ads on the page makes it look worse, and also you need to make it more modular for your system to work, but in my opinion the sites looked awful. Just last week though I realized I could remove the top 2 ads using your admin system, and that helped a lot, but there is no case where your site design looks as good as mine did, and mine were not so great to start with.

If given the choice, for almost all my sites I would still use your template system because as you said, that is what you do. But, it would still be nice to have the option just to use your ads only, so I could compare that revenue with your template optimized revenue and see if it is worth it for the extra site design optimization.

Also, all of this only applied to the desktop design. Your mobile/tablet designs are great and add a lot of revenue without looking worse.

To me, it has nothing to do with the optimization of my site. It is that I like the site design I already have and don't want to change it, even if it is not the design that makes the most money. But, I do nothing ever to optimize my ads (not the ad placement, just the ad network, color, whatever), so that is where you could add a lot of value for me. If I could just put your ad code in my 728x90 ad spot for example, and have you optimize it, that would be beneficial to me.

Daniel,

It's not that we aren't considering it, its that we haven't yet had a chance to properly analyze this possibility technically.

Presently, as you know, you're able to test your layout along with new layouts in the Ezoic platform. In order for the system to be able move content around while retaining the original layout it needs to understand a lot about it - how things are sized, how they behave on different devices, etc. That, combined with the fact that user experience optimization is core to what we provide makes it a challenge. Blindly assuming that custom design is better for users goes partially against our core belief which is that data trumps personal opinion.

Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that it's still under review and that everyone is able and encouraged to test their old site layouts in the system currently.

I see this is still the top requested idea by far, but seems you guys are not considering it. could you please advise as to why? sometimes a custom design is really critical but one still wants to easily optimize ads and I would LOVE if your service could start to do that for us. please reconsider. thanks.
