Guys I am Depressed 16,138 impression only 65 clicks and 10 dollars made

Two weeks ago my traffic went up and I was averaging 300-800 clicks a day I was so happy for 2 weeks straight I was getting high clicks for 6,000 to 12,000 in visitor impressions.

Yesterday something happen to my integrator the the ads mysteriously dissappeared, on two of my new posts and my click rate dropped.

Yesterday and Today I only made a few dollars. Compared to the 50-100 dollars I was making a day for the past two weeks.

I am extremely depressed because I worked so hard for 2 years on my site only making pennies a day and when I finally got good money and traffic from writing original articles not (aggregating or taking content like other people do) My earnings went back to nothing.

Something is fishy here guys, 16,000 impressions from search engine traffic, yet super super super small clicks.

My ads are placed in article and very adsense friendly for clicks since I was getting over 100 clicks when I fixed them

I believe someone who made the Adsense Integrator is placing their ad code on my site and intercepting clicks since there is an option that says donate at least 5 percent which I removed.

How can I tell if someone is putting their adcode in place of mine and taking clicks and revenue?

 

is it a wordpress blog? if yes, then dont use any integrator.. you can directly put your code in .php files.. search on google ...

 

atleast your getting views

 

do not know and you may have no data to sure there is fishing things happen. and the views is really not bad dude..

 

yes its wordpress, I use it because its the simplest to use.

I was using this guy

and its funny cause I saw on the bottom of the browser how it shows whats loading in text and it said joel comm

and thats the integrator I was using, and I think he saw that I was getting a lot of clicks so he probably hijacked my clicks.

here is the one im using I have been using it for a year and never had problems before.

I saw this topic about the integrator it says advertalis injection like the guy who made it is injecting his ads or taking some of the revenue from clicks.

I look at what other people are saying and they are seeing the same thing the ads are not showing in the new posts only the 2nd posts it seems shady.

sorry but what did you say man? I don't understand.

 

Vel "

Most of Users are Under this situation .. Dont loose Hop Just stay on your Work and Wait for Good time

 

Wow I feel for ya man... having that many impressions boil down to such few clicks really hurts. But it's a good learning lesson - clearly there is SOMETHING wrong affecting your CTR. Look through your site again, navigation, design, ad placement & optimization... everything! Figure out what's wrong, bring in more traffic and test!

 

Why don't you try the ads spy? It shows the adsense on your site. use SEOquae FF plugin.

 

Thanks guys, im trying to hang in there.

I spend like 5 hours a day at night writing and writing new content and I just started making past 10 dollars a day 2 weeks ago and now this has happen.

I think the guy who made that knows who downloaded his plug in and he saw that my site was getting good click thru rate and impressions a day so he decided to put his ads in.

Is there anyway I can have Google check up if anything fishy or tampering was involved?

cause right now it says 25,124 impressions or visits, and 73 clicks and I never changed the ads either and I know for a fact my traffic is coming from SE because the spike just happen 2 weeks ago, and when I post an article it goes onto google news right away and I see my traffic spike every time I do.

The clicks is super super super low, I could understand seeing 300 clicks but for only 50 bucks because maybe they clicked a cheap ad, but when the clicks are this low for the type of traffic I am getting something is very fishy.

 

Im kinda scared to try a plug in after this has happen becuase what if the guy sees my traffic and puts his own ad in.

here is what the integrator says on the bottom. I didnt check it but I think if they can replace my ads with their ads they must be the ones stealing my clicks but putting there google ad in place of mine.

 

Your were making $50-100 a day and your using a free word press script? With that kind of money you can get your own, safe, secure script. All these free blogs scripts are easy to hack because there so popular.

Your own fault imo.

 

I just found out they were putting there own Ads in my site (is this illegal?) I saw their pub ID should I report them to google?

I only started making 50 to 100 dollars a day a few days ago...

Where can I buy a safe secure script that is simple to use with adsense easy integration? how much does it cost?

 

don't worry ..................... its just a fluctuation of your rankings......................so try to put new content regularly then you can get your visitors very soon

 

huh?

I put up new content every single day at least 5 new articles, some days 10 articles.

today I checked 3 minutes ago and I had 34,329 visits or impression, and 82 clicks. I just removed the integrator so my adsense ads are only on the side colums in the widgets.

I knew something was fishy becuase I should of had at least 2 thousand clicks today.

This was my highest traffic so far.

 

That's the risk you take with free plugins, they can sometimes do some nasty stuff like that especially with the new plugin updater that keeps your plugins up to date. In this case I think the guy made it pretty clear - it's sleazy but he did mention that he takes 5%.

How can you take a percent of overall traffic without having the total amount? I'm assuming the script takes it's 5% first and then lets you have the remaining traffic for your ads. If you're showing multiple ad slots the main in content ad is probably showing his ads with the rest showing yours which is why you would have all those impressions but a low ctr since his ads are probably the highest paying and highest converting (since their probably the ones in the article).

 

why not take off the free plug-in completely. In this case, nobody can steal your earnings!

 

Yeah? 9K visitors, 13K page views... 26 dollars to date from my site. You'd figure the internet were some kind of gold mine or something, but hey... it seems as though it's even MORE difficult to establish a presence and make money here than in the REAL world!!!

 

Obviously they are putting the ads their. Why the hell would you even use a plug in as such. Remove it my man and build it in yourself!


And well done on the impressions! what's your niche?

 

Update:

read this other people said Easy Adsense plug in was also stealing clicks and want to report to google
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/284426

I did research on the two integrators I used.

I used Adsense Integrator, and Easy Adsense

this is the Thief's blog I would warn anyone dont use his plug ins he has been stealing clicks from high earning and high traffic sites, and its not even 5 percent more like 80 percent of your clicks are being stolen.
http://www.thulasidas.com/

I found that the easy adsense guys plug in will still put his ads even if you put donation to 0%, he puts his adsense in your RSS feeds, and he puts a small square near the bottom of the title which is a hotzone for clicks.

I saw when I switched the theme his ads appeared and I left a few ad blocks blank, this is a dishonest hack he is doing...from what I read from other people I message these two guys know who downloaded their plug in and they primarily target a person who gets high traffic and high clicks.

Also they try to add Cookies on your computur so even if you removed the plug in they can still infiltrate your wordpresss and place their code.

This sucks, does anyone know where I can buy a professionally made wordpress that has its own adsense integration in post so I dont have to get stolen clicks?
