How to improve on number of impressions?

Traffic Equalizer is a form of advertisement (spam), it's not intended to have too much real content, that would distract from it's purpose. It is a very effective form of advertisment. It's true there is a lot of crap sites out there, with or without TE. This should not effect content rich sites (whatever that is). There are only 3 kinds of web sites out there, personal, educational, and business. It's unreasonable to judge all three the same way. As for G, their biggest problem isn't the sandbox, but rather it's obsession with links, which is the main cause of all abuse. But who are we kidding, there will always be abuse, it's part of the game we call SEO.

 

I do find it's unfair that a lot of these people are scouring all over the net and get *free* contents and big incomes. As for mine, all my contents I wrote on my own, I took my own photographs and bear the pain to edit my photos, my narrations. I guess $1 per day is not really fair for me.

 

My feelings echo yours.

 

Certainly not every day is a rainy day my44, don't despair!

 

Thanks 'mam. You seem to have motivational website, LOL. That helps!

 

Who are we kidding here? Most of us have Adsense on our sites to make money, but why do you romanticize it and make it something that it's not? I don't make websites out of passion, and I don't make them to create a "better internet". I make them for 1 reason, and for 1 reason only, to make money. If it happens that the content is helpful or if the content needs to be of quality to make this money, then I'll do whatever is necessary. Bud_Wiser is doing exactly that, he's focused on his goal and he knows the necessary steps to follow thru with it, there's nothing wrong with that.

We need to identify our priorities, saying 1 thing while striving for another is just hypocritical. If money is what you're going for, go for it; if making a useful website is what you're going for, go for it!

 

All I am saying is that "scrapper" sites run a _very_ high risk of being banned. So, if you can afford to have your site banned, that's your business decision. I have put too much money into my sites to risk that. (I don't subscribe to the build a site, get it banned, move on to a new site philosophy). I have seen it happen with 7 web sites using that exact program myself personally. So, I know for 100% sure it causes sites to be banned and it IS against Google's rules.

 

There is only one secret to this. Increase your site traffic. But it can only be applied to the site which is in accordance with the policies of the Adsense specially on language, and with rich contents.

Remember this too. Even your site receives higher amount of traffic but it always displays public service ads, then you'll still receive lower impressions.

 

Or perhaps a good measure is to calculate impressions per HTML page ratio? I'm getting 800 impressions for my 200 HTML pages, so it's about 4 impressions per page.

So, to get 20K impressions, I need to have more pages? 5,000 HTML pages cannot be done manually (as I'm doing now).

 

Maybe I am wrong, but I think that AdSense only works if you are patient.
On my blog I dutifully add 200/300 words a day, and I am sure that eventually I will get noticed by the search engines/visitors.
And once you are noticed then you will have more than enough contents to keep users happy as well as keeping Google happy.

It is not a matter of ethics, it is just common sense, any ‘tricks’ to bring users to you fast might work, but visitors are not stupid, they will notice that the site lacks content and will not come back again. At least with real contents you know that visitors will come back day after day.

Google doesn't target scraper sites specifically. Any site has an equal risk of being banned.

 

Huh? You're probably the only person who knows what you mean by this statement. I can barely see a high-quality site getting banned, and even if they do, a simple email to google will reinstate their account with apologies i'm sure

 

Wouldn't they check for the timestamps of the pages?
I guess, they would definitely see which page is older.

 

Hi Bud

I was reading this post and was supprised by the statment that you add 1000's of sites a week, how do you manage to promote that many?

It gives me a headache just trying to think of 1000 site names.

 

The best way to do it is to increase the number of pages from 200 to 2000.. but you ned the traffic to support it..

Thanks. I'm doing it. The legal way, of course!

Since I'm mostly doing travel-related stuff, the work is a bit harder. I need to scan my travel photos and compose my narration. Things we do for a penny

 

This is wrong information. I have a mini site with only 5 pages and yet i get 60,000 uniques every month and a good return on investment. Increasing your number of pages in order to increase your traffic is short-sighteness. If you refer to the search engines as your sole traffic generator then you're definitely doing business on still sand cuz noone knows when the search enines could stop sending you traffic. The search engines only constitute 25% at the most of any of my promotional campaigns.

The only thing my44 can be accused of here is BAD MARKETING. I believe you should spend some time learning Internet Marketing and promotion.

 

Hi my44

Could you not get other people who have visited the areas to do reports for you, if you send them the format you want it in, like a questionare that they fill out, also ask if they have any photos they could send you.

If you get any that are too over the top, loved the place too much or said it was the worst place on earth, then you can put these to one side.

Just thought it might help increase the number of pages.

I also agree with what webmistress said, learn more about web site marketing not just SEO, my first site was 3 pages and with no traffic from the search engines made me $10 - 20 a day from the first day I added adsense to it, I also did not pay for any advertising.

 

It does sound like TripAdvisor.com, LOL. Maybe, I'll think about it.
