Hey guys, I would like to know if it is better to run adsense in more than one website or it is better to focus only on one website and try to increase the traffic as much as possible. You guys who make more than $5000 from adsense, Do you run your adsense in more than one website? Have you targeted the high paying keywords too? (I myself am against it, I guess in adsesne we will have better result if we increase the quantity instead of quality)
Run more than one site. I experiencing messing up with ads on same site. I have travel, and something other on one site. And ads from time to time swaping.
Depends on individual ability to manage. Most of us here - YES. Topic of your intrest is what important for the success of any site than the cost of KWs.
It is better to concentrate on one website.After you will get some hand on experiences then you should go with other websites.
Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Regarding high paying keywords, what is your idea regardless of the webmaster interests, I think making huge money is best incentive and it will bring lots of interest and motivation.
How is it killing you ! Can you explain a little more? It just prevent spammer from clicking your ads many times. I guess it is not bad for us. Am I right? how does it affect your earning?
When I make a site for the sole purpose of showing ads for - socalled - high paying KWs and my intrest level on that subject is low then naturally, the usability and quality of the site will be low from the vistors point of view and would not benefit me in long run. Whereas if the sites subject is one of my intrest then the quality will be high enough to be appealing to visitors hence the sites success is assured in long run. IMO retaining a visitor should be all the most important priority. Any successful site will get you more revenue even if the ads payouts are as low as $.02 to $.05 per click. IMO those 'high paying KWs' will not always pay high for publishers as those adverts select to show their ads only with Google search results and not on the content sites. Even those 50, 60 buck ads will end up paying .03 to .20 on the content sites. Ofcourse high payout is a motivating factor and 'big money' is always consorting 'big traffic' and you should know what will get you that 'big traffic'.
I made a minor change to a site that accounted for 5% of the impressions and smart-pricing through-out the account disappeared the next day. Could this be another coincidence?
Stick to topics that interest you and you have knowledge of to start - you will find yourself naturally putting more effort into those sites thereby creating a useful resource to visitors that will pay off in the long run.
depends..what kind of minor change did you do? Are talking just placement, or taking down ads off the site completely?
Smart pricing affects your entire account, and from what I understand if you have a website that has ads, that once clicked, goes to a page that doesn't even remotely convert into a sale or income generation for that advertiser, then the value of the click goes down, as well as how much the advertiser pays for that advertisement. If I'm wrong on this, someone, please correct..but that's my understanding.
No. You are right. This is the same thing I underestood by searching articles regarding Smart Pricing. Google must have a very sophistacated tools to recognize such things. But if keep the content consistent and relevant to specefic matter, I guess we can get rid of that smart pricing somehow.
And it seems to use medium paying keywords that will more than likely result in some kind of conversion..
I have adsense on several websites but, for the most part, I do not target the high paying keywords. The websites were there long before I started working with Adsense and became knowledgable about seo and such. My AdSense income comes from trying to get as many people through the sites as possible by targetting the words that are most searched for.
