My cousin just applied adsense.. and received this email stating the following... Please note that you might not maximize your earnings from AdSense if you have any of the following on your website: * robots.txt * frames * forms and dynamic content * excessive images * login and password requirements Just wondering if anyone know if the factors in red has affected their revenue.. Is this consider robots.txt? <META NAME="RATING" CONTENT="General"> <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="index, follow"> <META NAME="REVISIT-AFTER" CONTENT="1 Week"> What are dynamic contents, and examples of those? How much is excessive.. for the images? Thank you for reading.
That's pretty rude to say...heh No, that is not considered a robots.txt. A robots.txt is an actual file in the root of your directory which is where www.robotstxt.org comes into play...take a read over there.
Didn't your mother ever teach you this simple fact of life: If you can not say something nice, keep your damn mouth shut! Now if a mod will have a talk with this poster about saying things like this (it is not the first post he has said that) explaining to him to be nice or leave, it would be much appreciated by the rest of us.
I think it would be all images and no text, and especially no ALT tags so the adsense bot doesn't know what ads to display for this page.
All the things in the message sound like things that will keep AdSense from being able to serve relevant ads, rather than things that will lead to direct action by Google. Dynamic content could be user created content, like blogs or message boards, or content that comes from news feeds, etc. Anything that could potentially change everytime a page is loaded. If that content is usually on-topic, it probably will be OK. If it's random, and unfocused, you won't get ads relevant to your site. I think images have the most negative impact if they're used in place of headings. Text headings probably give AdSense a quick idea of what a page is about, allowing more relevant ads. Too many images versus too little text overall on a page will usually have the same impact. Doing these things won't necessarily lead to low revenue, but they will make it harder for your site to get traffic (bad SEO) and harder for Google to show relevant AdSense ads. Probably much more important for new sites - AdSense seems to 'remember' what established sites are about.
Can you please just calm down and being nice? * robots.txt -- It's a file on your server to tell the instruction to bot read at robotstxt.org * frames -- having a frame should use the code for frame because bot might have some difficult to scan your page and not give the relavant ads * forms and dynamic content - dynamic content is ok, but not the whole page. * excessive images - im not sure about this one. * login and password requirements - bot can't login to scan to the page and give relavant ads so basically the page that need user/pass to access will serve only PSA's ads. If the ads not relavant to your site (even it's high paying keywords ads) the visitor will not click on your ads. Of course I have that problem time to time. hope this can help to explain something
I expect this is a problem with Javascript, which the bot can't decipher. And if you have a page that depends on user input to determine what it outputs, even if it's server-side then Adsense won't know what to make of it. Something like a quiz maybe.
Thank you for the replies and help. Very much appreciated. Sorry it took me a while to reply... due to a family wedding (i m the co-ordinator.), that last 3 days, i m very much drained and exhausted.. sleeping only 8 hrs for the total of past 3 days.. we just finished the last procedure and boy,, i m so tired.. gonna sleep now..
