I have a permanent rule at AdSense: I'm making some cash, I'm working hard to double my earnings and when it's doubled then something happens (sandbox, filters and so on) so I'm going back to the same earnings as before. It's constant since 3 years. Since then i can't get higher. I don't think it's just a bad luck because always something happens which gets my earnings back to the same. I'm going to believe that they have budget limits, because why all my best earning websites are getting sandboxed. I mean - from the top 10 of serps the're going to 890-900, this are not new sites, this websites are even 2 years old, when the're not earning much money it's ok, when they start to earn more the're gone. I don't like this AdSense rule - I call it "one step forward, two steps back". I have some websites without AdSense and they're always at top 10 at serps, bad things happen only to my websites with AdSense... Does anyone have the same problem ?
My site has been on a slow but steady upward-turn for going on two years.. there have been some small bumps, but overall it's headed upward.. What kind of sites do you have? are these quality, 'content' sites that add-value to the internet?
I have lots of sites, most of them are "quality content" and designed well. The most funny is that this "best" - with best content are threated worst by Google then this "low quality" websites.
Honestly - I'm afraid to place AdSense to my new websites because it always ends with journey - from top 10 down to 790-800. Why they're destroying websites which are bringing them profits ?
Adsense has been on my site for almost three years, it has not hurt my rank.. my rank is higher now than it has ever been which must be due to traffic. Your right intruder, it makes absolutely no sense for Google to shoot themselves in the foot "destroying" sites that bring them in money. Instead of destroying my site they just pay me 50% less and force me to use affiliates.
Same here. I've been working hard, posting quality contents everyday for 2 years already. I have my ups and downs but this past 2 days, my impressions for ads dropped a lot, and also the eCPM is just so low! Not only the eCPM in my adsense is low, even Kontera is freakin' low these days. Wonder what's going on?
I have noticed when I bid low on ads on adwords, My adsense goes down..... has anyone else noticed this?
