My main site (www.saversites.com) is fresh out of the sandbox (I think) [ victory dance ] < in good faith(we'll see if its perminant or just a cruel joke by Google. I'm pretty sure I'm out - I have been flying up the Google serps for the last week or so - onto the top 3-5 for some terms (which is where I was pre-sandbox) - At any rate the reason I mention this in the AdSense forum is that I'm starting to see a pretty good bump in traffic already (from 150+day to 300+day) and I am wondering how this will effect my adsense. I mean CTR is about the same - [ except today with all the DP forum traffic just 'checkin' things out' ] - but with the increased traffic lets say I keep the same CTR is the sudden increase in traffic Adsense going to throw some kinda red flag when I go from 250 day to over 500-1000 day, or better..? Or will this still be viewed as natural traffic growth. I'm probably being silly - some of you guys are talking about 5000 visitors a day, and I'm hackin' on 250 - heh
I love these forums. I post in others, but I MIGHT get a response after a few days in a few of them...I already forgot what I was worried about in a couple of days heh Here you mention something, even asking about how I can be more competitive - in a market where I might compete against fellow members, and in just a short time I get REAL, helpful responses. Here - I was worried about traffic growth (250 a day to 500 or 1000 a day) hah - others are talking about moving from 50,000 to 200,000...erk...I guess that answers my question - heh [edit : I recieved a PM and email - very helpful, thank you guys. for the sake of readers - looks like my 'traffic growth' issue wouldn't even move the needlw on the google 'trouble gauge' ]
I'm sorry but, why do you have adsense ads on a page where you are trying to sell something? That gotta be the worst marketing technique ever.
don't be sorry - you're right. But I don't have time to take all the work I get leads for currently - losing some traffic to competitors is just fine with me for the time being...and if I'm going to lose them, I want to get a little $omething for the trouble As my schedule frees up I may drop the adsense from some of the site, but trust me. I still get enough serious converting traffic. As much or more than I can handle.
grazzy, I have to disagree with that. If someones interested in what you've got for sale, then they'll buy from you. If they want to shop around and check out the opposition, then they will. All you're doing is converting some of this shopping around into $$'s.
Agreed, if your shop is well laid out then they will either buy or hit <back to go back to google (if that is how they found you) and go and compare prices with other shops for the same product, if they see targetted ads on your store they may use that as a way to go and check out the opposition, as long as you know your market and especially if you can offer a better service possibly cheaper then your in for a better pay packet. It all relative and there would be just as good an argument not to do it in different circumstances.
