4500 page impressions but 0 earning, why?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ameliaben143, May 10, 2012.

    I have launched my website 4 month ago and last month I received 4500 page impressions but 00 earning. Problem that I was assuming since last month that my account not showing related ads, google crawler logins are zero.

    Second : what is authorized websites? Every time I log in to my account, an error appears continuously.
    "Your ads have recently appeared on websites you haven't authorized. To avoid lost revenue, make sure to authorize any sites where you display ads by visiting your" account setting. How can I fix this issue?

    The most frustrating part is "no clicks". How can I get out of this situation

    Then your ads are on the wrong spots or don't fit with your content.

    it seems you are using the autorized sites feature, well you should disable it. Find out about it and disable it. It seems you have enabled it but without knowing what it is, so you didn't add your own site.. Better keep it disabled as it is per default.

    Ad placement is really important, so you should play around with that, also as others said if the ads don't fit the content(which google is pretty good at fitting the content) that can hurt you as well. You should also look at your stats and see how long the users are on your page typically, and what the bounce rate is, if your site isn't interesting enough for them, they may be visiting and immediately exiting. You want to give them a reason to visit, to browse and to come back for great conversions. Lastly even though you can have max 3 ads maybe try only 2.

    adsense is not about the impression but the number of clicks
    you need click to earn money

    if you disabled the option, then you wouldn't see this message, would you?
    When did you disable it? 5 minutes ago?

    I had 2,836 unique hits last month on Super Freestyle Motocross. Google shows 2,383 page views for the month. My earnings from adsense isn't enough to buy a cheeseburger. My main focus of the site has been the blog but I'm still not seeing any payback for the effort I've put in. This stuff sure aint easy.

    Why do you have only one AdSense advertisement?

    I see that message again after disabling it. Yes you are right after 5 minutes. But did not check it after 5 minutes. Ok I will check it again in night. but what about crawler login or related ads? Will I have to upload a robots.txt file on my server?
    Ahh. Adsense was not too complicated before last update.

    Yes it depends on what you already have in your robots.txt
    If you're blocking page or maybe everything (it's possible by mistake)

    Adsense recommend you add a couple of lines at the top of your file to be sure that no page is excluded from adsense bot..
    User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
    Allow: /

    or

    User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
    Disallow:

    which is a different way to say the same thing

    " User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
    Allow: /

    or

    User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
    Disallow:
    "
    is this code for allow google or stop google from indexing my pages?
    Second , I have set my account setting to 'Allow any site to show ads for my account' but still getting the message

    "Your ads have recently appeared on websites you haven't authorized. To avoid lost revenue, make sure to authorize any sites where you display ads by visiting your"

    this time I wait for 6 hours but still getting this message. This is really frustrating :(

    "Our crawler was unable to access your page to determine its content and display relevant ads. When our crawler can’t access the content, often we won’t show ads resulting in lower revenue and coverage. Other times, we’ll show ads that are irrelevant resulting in lower CTR. Follow the links in the ‘How to fix.’ column to correct these errors and improve AdSense performance."

    url is http://www.appswoo.com/

    How can I fix this error?

    I don't know if you noticed, but if nobody clicks on your ads, having 1 impression or 1 trillion is the same...at least on adsense.
    Adsense is pretty outdated, it worked well on the beginning when people didn't know about it. If you don't click 3rd party adsense ads don't expect others to.
    I'm done with adsense thank god...I prefer to sell my products directly to my clients it's one trillion times faster earning.

    Thanksfully people are not like me and they click much more often than I do which is NEVER without the use of ad blocker!

    Anyway, to answer ameliaben, of course I'm not giving you a code to prevent google from indexing your site!!! It is the two lines you should put to make sure that adsense bot can access all your page and not be blocked by mistake by other lines in your robots.txt

    Also, you waited 6 hours, try 24..
    And anyway, if you have disabled the autorized sites feature, now the problem will never happen again. As for the message it will go away whenever they want or perhaps they give you a cross on the right of the message to discard it ?

    I don't know, but it is not a problem at all, don't use the autorize sites feature and your adsense can be displayed everywhere.
