Hi, I was wondering if there are people here who run free filehosting services and use AdSense. I'm running a filehosting service and I can't get well-paying ads through adsense,and the biggest problem is that many times I can't get any ads at all(only public service ads). I don't know how I can add contect to this kind of website since the ads are displayed only when somebody tries to download a file... Any help/ideas will be appreciated...
I use adsense on my site www.metrofilehost.com, but the site is down right now. It should be back online in the next couple days, you can look at it later. -jared.
Thanks for the answer thejared. The thing is that the ads appear on the download page of each file,which contains only a few words(filename,file size,etc.).I was thinking that maybe I could add a small article at the bottom of the download page and change it every 2-3 days.Maybe this way I'll get some ads.What do you think of that? ps. I'm also having exactly the same problem with my image hosting service...
You might wanna watch out with having ads on a page with only a tiny bit of content or barely none. I'm pretty sure this is against google TOS (MFA sites).
Lots of sites doing it. So you can try it at your own risk. Now back to the toic, are you using a custeom script? If it's PHP based implement a Mod_Rewrite urgently to make your urls SEO Friendly. Don't forget to add keywords like " free-file-hosting" in your urls.. Also add a good paragraph of Description about your site features at the bottom of the pages. Thisshould contain good paying keywords like "hosting', file hosting, online space etc. This is legit & Good luck..
Thanks everyone for replying. Yes I use Mod_Rewrite and I have added some basic keyword like "free file hosting" etc. Now I added a small paragraph at the bottom of each download page.I took it from wikipedia and it a technology related subject.I was thinking to change this paragraph each week,hope it works. Thanks again.
Put some info on the page about how to host explain hosting and jargon Should get you some better ads. meta data will also help.
That would be a good idea too codeber. I checked again today and I still get public service ads on many pages,and the problem is that I get those ads on files/pages that are very popular. I think that I'm losing many clicks due to this situation... I'm not asking for well-paying ads,but at least to get SOME ads! New ideas are more than welcome guys..please help!
