    The page view of my web site, http://www.chicagotech.net , was stable in the last half year. Weekday is between 13,000 to 14,000 and weekend is 5000 to 6000 daily.

    I decided to use Adwords to get more visitors and I started to use Adwords last mnth. Believe it or not, the page view drop 40% in the last 3 weeks. I am not sure it is related to adwords, or Goodle search or my web site problem. The noly thiing I did is using adwords. How can I find it out?

    Thnak you.

    Maybe it is just a targeting problem. You are getting lots of new visitors, but since they are not really targeted they just look at one or 2 pages and then leave, so your average pageview count drops.

    Have you tried stopping your adsense campaign and checking if the pageview count goes up again?

    Are you excluding bots from your page view calculations?
