Adsense Site Moved to Wordpress And Now No Adsense Earnings?

Thanks for the great feedback COBSolutions. I think for now I'll keep my site as a Wordpress site and see if it can go back up in earnings. If it doesn't within a month or so I may revert back to my old site. I really wish it would transition a lot more nicely but this seems to be very difficult. The new site is soo much more functional. Its frustrating that this has happened. Oh well.

 

Thanks for the pointers. I've installed an SEO plugin in Wordpress already. I've optimized it too. I'll wait and see how it goes. If it doesn't bounce back I guess I'll have to go back to my old site.

 

good luck. Keep us update! If I can ask, you could probably PM me when something changes a lot. I'm really interested in this case

 

Sure - I can keep you in the loop. Thanks I'll need that luck! I think in the meanwhile I am going to start building more links to the new site and see how that goes.

 

UPDATE - For anyone who was reading this thread before here is an update 1.5 months later.

After doing everything I could to get my traffic back I've moved my website back to its old format of .php/.html/.css and the traffic and earnings are coming back. So the lesson learned here is you have a well established website that is indexed and getting traffic NEVER change formats and move it to Wordpress or vice versa.

Here are the things I tried to fix it when I moved it over to Wordpress:
- Resubmit the sitemap
- 301 redirect every single .php file to the new wordpress page
- Put a manual link on every single .php file that would send the traffic to the new page

It wasn't until I put the old site up and remove Wordpress from my site and resubmitted my sitemap that traffic started bouncing back 3 days later and earnings started to come back.

So you guys know for future reference.

 

Good but that should be

"So the lesson learned here is you have a well established website that is indexed and getting traffic NEVER change formats and move it to ANY OTHER CMS or vice versa"

 

Do check your adsense setting inside your adsense plugin. I had seen the plugin owners adsense account number inside my plugin.
I also think with wordpress our earnings goes down.. No concrete reason. When compared to html sites we seems to suffer with wordpress.

 

You can change CMSs as much as you want as long as the paths stay the same. I changed my site from plain html to drupal years ago with no issues because all my paths were domain.com/funstuff etc not domain.com/funstuff/funstuff.html.

This is not helping my opinion that Google really has it in for sites that move content. I reckon it triggers the worst kind of Panda penalty and it hits adsense really hard. Its taken me 8 months of miserably low earnings to finally get back to $10-25 a day again from the *new* site that I moved my content to. I foolishly thought that redirecting from A to B would have no effect at all other than the traffic would seamlessly shift from one site to another. Couldn't have been more wrong.

 

i don't have many experience for this, and i think this tread is very important to me if someday i have the same problem with tread starter, thanks

 

Your welcome. Just really don't do it. Never move to another CMS or you will get screwed by Google. Stick with one system.

 

Yeah I thought that may be an issue so I looked and the plugin was fine and I got some little earnings still but the traffic crashed too. There was something fishy. I think it was a penalty by Google for moving sites.

 

Your totally right. Thanks for fixing that line.

 

Haha - never again I'll move my sites. It was a crazy penalty even though I followed Google's rules.

 

I see that my fear has been confirmed now, it is better not to trigger anything with google when you have nice organic listings and traffic, just keep it their and develop more sites in the same niche with the all the user experience plugin in it.
