Hi, I have set up a few new sites in the last month and added adsense to them after they were indexed. However, I have noticed that my adsense income has gone to almost $0.00, so they are punishing me for something I guess. I have one new Article Directory and I put one add on each article, but I have no idea why this would be a problem. Is Google looking at the total amount of traffic to all your sites or something else ? My new sites don't have much traffic yet, but maybe I should delete those accounts until the traffic is up ? I also have one long time adsense site at http://www.skin-care-reviews.com, but my income went down dramatically in the last month also after 70 - 404 page not found errors appeared (I can see these at the Google sitemap site) - I have no idea how these pages were even generated because they don't exist, but could this alone make my adsense income drop to zero ? I will try and get my webhost to create some 310 re-directs or something to get rid of these strange 404 pages, but it may take time. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
I see that you have 450 pages indexed for that site. I would check to make sure that the Adsense ID is correct. Nice template by the waw.
I would not delete the sites. I don't see how their existence can possibly affect your earnings. As far as your skin care site. Did you change your directory structure or something? Those pages had to have existed at one time, and were probably earning for you, and now that they aren't there anymore, the traffic you were getting is now getting 404'd and is totally wasted! Maybe what you can do is, see what url's are being 404'd and go ahead and create those pages so your incoming traffic has somewhere to go! Another thing you could do is create a custom 404 page.
When setting up URL Channels, I have www.skin-care-reviews.com and skin-care-reviews.com - could that be a problem ? The reason I did this is because when I originally signed up with Link Metro (reciprocal linking program for my Resources page) the links to other pages were coming out without the "www", then I switched to their free service because they could not fix that among other things. Then, when their service improved, I switched back to their advanced membership and had my resources pages adjusted by them to look like the rest of my site. But, now all the links to other pages do have the "www" at the start. Talk about confusing. Will having a www and non-www site in URL channels hurt me ? Should I switch back to only the www version ? I'm guessing yes ? Thank you.
