Why your adsense earnings have dropped recently

    Many adsense publishers have noticed a drop in their adsense earnings recently without knowing why. This of course has been attributed to the latest algorithm that Google has instituted (Panda). Here are some tips that can help your earnings get back up:1. If you're using Wordpress, change the theme.2. If you have multiple adsense niche blogs, don't link them together (linking to each other) since this tells Google you are operating a link farm and will penalize you.3. Don't use duplicate content4. Interesting but important-DON'T use Google analytics!Hope this helps!

    The best way to increase your adsense earning is increasing in traffic.

    By using Google analytics, you're inviting Google to monitor everything you're doing on your site. This also gives Google the green light to manually review your adsense sites to check for any violations. For example, if suddenly your traffic goes up, Google will manually review your site to see whether you're doing everything right. The solution is to use other monitoring tools (there are others out there for free). If you use analytics make sure everything you're doing is 100% white hat. Hope that answers the question...

    by using Google Analytics you have a safe record which google can use to track if someone trying to do some bad things to your site like false clicks etc. So you can feel safe from a ban because you know Google can monitor the traffic and you will not get banned. So using them have a great benefit you as well. Think!

    So what if you have a series of sites dealing with different aspects of the same topic. For example (hypothetical) 1 site for head medicine, 1 site for neck medicine, 1 site for shoulder medicine... and so on? Surely it would make sense to link them and it would be useful for reader too.

    What about putting google search on your sites and setting it up so it searches your own websites but nobody else's? Why would Google give us that option and then penalize us?

    Analytics is easy to use and the new interface (although a bit overwhelming to start with) is really useful.

    Have you followed your advice and seen adsense picking up?

    Hi,.....great points you've raised....(linking same sites with different aspects of the same topics and also adding the Google search) and is worth testing. I've never tried that. My testing came from diverse niche topics such as pregnancy, data recovery, tattoo removal etc.....and the client that I worked with had their adsense drop by almost 40% when they linked all the sites together (since Google thought it was a link farm). I unlinked them and the income climbed somewhat (but not to the level it was a year ago). Instead of linking to each other, try social bookmarking,video sites, other blogs etc.....and high PR sites such as LinkedIn and Yelp.I'm glad you like analytics. I've used it for years and have found it useful. My advice was especially geared for people who've been penalized by Google and don't know what to do to regain their search engine rankings......but again, you've raised interesting points worth exploring further.....:)

    Anayltics is undoubtedly one of the best monitoring tools out there but there are others. Using analytics on your adsense sites is like visiting a police station and asking them to assign a cop to follow you everywhere to see whether you'll break even the slightest traffic law. While there is nothing wrong with that if you are the perfect driver, with Google there a thousand ways to get banned from adsense even without that extra scrutiny.........just something to think about...but you also have a valid point..

    I've a couple of series of websites and was experiencing low CPC but, after receiving an email from adsense, I got into making custom channels - particularly for ads at the top of my pages - the CPC increased.

    If you have nothing to fear, then use the best tools for tracking, so by using and linking your adsense, webmaster tools and analytics accounts, you'll get the best tracking tool ever..

    I haven't noticed any decrease in earnings, it comes and it goes, has been like that for years, no problem.

    If I have nothing to hide, why the hell do I need to worry about google doing manual review on my site?

    You don't have to be hiding anything to be banned or penalized by Google. The vast majority of people building affiliate or adsense sites don't know what they're doing.

    If you have nothing to hide, then yes, by all means use analytics. But if Google performs a manual review of your site, here are a few things they'll look for:
    1. That the site has unique, grammatically-sound content (don't spin your main site's articles)
    2. That the content is informative and it raises the readers' level of awareness (you're not simply regugitating information that is widely available all over the Internet)
    3. That the site has contact information (preferrably a phone number where someone can speak with a live person)
    4. That the site has a privacy policy if its monetized using adsense
    5. That the site is not part of a link farm

    If you're using Wordpress, get a plugin that disables broken links. Broken links especially on old posts alert Google that the site is rarely updated (from a human point of view.....)

    Hope this helps. If your sites haven't incorporated most of the above then it would be wise to do so. Then sign up for analytics and if Google performs a manual review, you'll be in good shape.

    If they don't know what they are doing then its their damn own fault. I've been using GA for years and I'm still not banned because I have a quality site compare to all these crap ass blogspot blogs that are littered all over DP.
