Hey all, I just moved my site to a new server and noticed the strangest thing - Adsense is waaay down. On some days it's 20% of what it was before the move. I would have expected a few days of lower traffic and adsense stats but it's been 2 weeks now and it's still down by about 50% There are a couple of other factors but this seems to be one of the big ones. Has anyone else run into this? Ta, Steve
Did the CTR change? Did the eCPM change? Did the impressions change? What exactly changed? This might better hint at the problem?
I change hosts many times. No problems. If your earning and other figures are down then Houston we have a problem.
Did the search engines "loose" your site? Hopely this is just a temp problem and you will see your earnings go back up in a few days.
Thanks for the posts - I am noticing my impressions, ecpm etc are kinda yo-yoing from "normal" to half of normal over the past couple of weeks - maybe it'll take the rest of the month to stablize. One of the other factors was Slurp lost it's mind and started indexing concatenated URLs, ie directory 1 added to directory 2 etc, up to 9 urls and about 20 levels deep (which don't exist) -- partly my fault as I was issuing a 200 OK because the first couple of levels were OK... I am currently "re-educating" Slurp with 301 redirects so there may be some oddities happening there too. Think I'll have to wait it out.
I think it would happen if the URL of your pages change. Simply moving the host without change in URL should not cause any problems. (change of IP might hit google SERP!!)
