Well basically ive had my adsense account for many years and i come across some exclusive content which drove and is driving 100 thousand unique a days day 1 from 6pm till morning it made 500. Day 2 1.3k day 3 1.1k then day 4 today the site has got more visitors as then the previous 2 days all unique only 7% returning. And ive only got 500 clicks today where as last few days i was gettin 3000clicks. And ive ont earned 100£ today. What could be happening? I have the ads in the same placement. Website is www.ukgrime.com thanks for the help in advance.
the spot where you are driving traffic is POOR quality traffic and its dumping your CTR and CPC. If you are making $500 a day, or where then you should be able to pay an adsense optimizer to help you through the problem.
100,000 uniques daily with an Alexa ranking of +2.4m? I know it's not an accurate way of tracking, but that's still quite surprising... WebDev
its only been getting 100,000 unique a day for the past 3 days. so alexa prob hasn't noticed and updated yet. the website has been active for years but neva had major traffic. and @lacey girl why do you think its poor quality. its in the same place as when it was making 1k a day .. n the earnings have dropped from that too just above £100 today. clicks have reduced from over 3000 a day to just over 500 so far today. ctr was around 5% n now its dropped too under 1%
i want to move quick on this issue because i don't think my website will be getting these hits for more than a week due to the hype around the content dieing
If it's the tulisa sex tape stuff, it's possible sex tape comes up as a stop word and so less ads are being displayed. I don't know really.
I don't see ad's on the pages... there's one reason and if it's sex tape that drives the traffic - then yeah it's a bad word and will piss the ad's off from being displayed...
i didn't have the sex tape on there but i had a different video of tulisa up. maybe the wording as you said might of stopped it. and does this mean i won't get paid and prob banned from google? its been 4 days now with over 3k earnings.
You are using adsense for a site that uses youtube videos. I wonder its against google terms as you are not allowed to use you-tube videos for this purpose. Please recheck with Google TOS once again. Although I am not
As i visited your website, i saw only 2 types of ads. 728x90 and 250x250. I don't know, if you tracked the clicks and if you know which ad gets more clicks. I have nothing to say about 728x90 ad. What i can imagine is that, if a visitor clicks on a post, they go to post page, and you use a 250x250 ad just before the actual video. First I am not sure, but the only thing that i can think about, why it is dropped like this is, at that time that you got more clicks, google showed Video Ads (or from that ads, that seems like youtube player, or actual video ad) and at this time your visitors clicked on that ad coz they thought they will watch the video. As i visited your website, i didn't see and video ads, they were just normal 250x250 Display ads, and a visitor can see it, that they are ads. maybe after this point they just noticed it that, the actual video is under the ad, so they know now, where to watch the video, therefore they just scroll down to play the video without touching the ad. As i said, i am not sure if this is a possibility, but just wanted to share with you from another perspective.
Most probably you were click bombed. Did you checked the IP addresses that clicks came from? At least countries?
i don't think i was click bombed majority of clicks come from the UK. but clicks from lots and lots of other counties also. and that goes with the amount of hits also. as most of my hits come from the uk
Try to change ad colours, locations, etc. If you don't refresh, your visitors will get use to the ads and won't notice them.
