Hi all, I have a question I'm curious about - I'm pretty new to adsense and generating traffic and such, so you might find some of my tactics so far to be a bit newbieish Here's my development scenario - - I put up a framework for my site ( super basic, blank pages) about 2 months ago or so, put maybe one page on the site, and added my adsense code, and submitted to google and yahoo using basic submission. - About a month ago, I started more seriously developing the site to be a genuninely useful portal of information, so I added 6-8 more articles I researched on and wrote myself, and have plans to write more. - About 2 weeks ago or so, I learned & spent quite a bit of time examining my keywords (I tried to carefully analyze/target them correctly so as to find popular ones but not over-popular ones) and SEO-ing my site, and added a bit more content to it. - For the last month or so, I've been trying to do some quality link exchanges with other related sites, some with higher PR, some with lower. I don't have that many links right now, maybe 20 or so. - A few days ago, I had someone put my link up on a PR7 site with less than 15 outbound links on the page, so seemingly decent link quality. However, from all of this so far, my traffic is non-existant. The site is listed at #9 on MSN for my keyword, and seems to be quickly re-spidered every few days on there, but google and yahoo don't have any of my backpages cached, and my page doesn't even show up for my main search term on either of them. My website stats show 10-15 uniques a day (spiders?) but Adsense impressions are maybe 1-2 impressions per day total. Am I doing something wrong not to even have a decent number of daily impressions by now? Or do I just need to give it more time and keep adding content and links and traffic will come? (please feel free to move this if need be)
what's your keywords? >>but Adsense impressions are maybe 1-2 impressions per day total. Traffic of your site is too low.
Hi alfie, The URL is http://www.laptopinfo.net. I know it doesn't look like a whole lot, yet... -Telmari
When you are looking at those 10 - 20 visits per day, what are the agents in your stats? Its very possible they are primarily spiders and things like that. That would not cause an impression in Google Adsense
Hi aj - I think you are right - a lot of the uniques displayed are spiders/robots etc. The hosting company I am hosting with doesn't have a good stats package (like awstats or anything), just really stripped down webtrends, and it seems difficult to get them to install new scripts, so for now I don't have a good idea of the traffic sources. -T
