Question For Adsense Experts
I have a question for all of your Adsense experts. I have a website that has been active for about 5 years and has become a top ranking site in its particular niche. Originally the site was set up as a standard static html website and over the years became well known. At that time I used Adsense and achieved a pretty good click through rate which added to my overall Adsense income stream.
About a year ago I decided to turn the site into a blog using Word Press as my blogging platform. The changeover went smoothly and went well for a couple of months. Then withough any explanation the Adsense revenue stopped. In fact the number of impressions that showed up in my Adsense account panel dropped to an average of 0 to 2 a day if that much. I examined all aspects of my site and could not find anything wrong. I tried several different WP layouts and still no change……….. Adsense was seemingly dead. My Google analytics showed the same level of traffic but zero impressions on average in Adsense. This went on for a couple of months while I scratched my head.
Finally last week I decided to take the site back to a static html format. I rebuilt the site as a “directory” style website which will provide answers to about any question a visitor in this niche could have. I kept Adsense on the site and within 24 hours of re-launching the new site it was indexed in Google and voila….. Adsense impressions immediatey climbed to the level they were a year ago. Click throughs are going up and for the first time in almost a year income is being generated via Adsense from this site.
I still cannot figure out what is going on. I have adsense on other blogs but they do not do well. Have I overlooked something with regards to Adsense and Word Press? Although blogging format provides for easier updates to my sites, am I losing income because a conflict of some sort that I am not aware of?
I would like to hear from any of you who have had the same problem.
Hi Seo77
Number one question in my mind is………what is the url of this site you are talking about?
To see it would help!
Interesting observation, I would like to know more to add to my what not to do toolbox.
Have a look at my newest creation, a web app to check the search result of a site based on it’s keywords.
