For google adsense what is a good content? How they deside if the site will receive each top keyword ad for More than $20 USD?
Any tip on how we can test google adsense? With channels... We are really not winning with google adsense we have been publisher with them for 2 years now, for the first time we were earning approx. $40 USD and now $2 USD
Why is this?
Damm this is really annoying us.
1) Advertisers whose ads you served in the "rich" past simply stopped using AdWords. Now you may be getting ads from different advertisers with lower CPC.
2) Advertisers are bidding less than they did in your "rich" past.
3) Smartpricing. We do not know exactly what factors may play a role here, but, as far as I know, ROI is taken into account. Some believe that the value of an AdSense-member site is estimated somehow, and CPC is adjusted accordingly.
4) Relevancy of ads decreased over time. BTW, did you analyze your CTR stats?
5) Other/unknown factors
You should ask the AdSense support team if they could look into your problem and perhaps give you some advice. If it does not get better, there are still alternatives to AdSense.
I hope our earnings will come as normal as 1 year and a half before...
We are trying to make what people suggested, create more sites, unique content and let's see.
Unique content, even masses of it is of no use unless it is both interesting to read and searched for by enough people to make it worthwhile.
5 more sites with more than 100 Pages each new site
Here's something that comes up all the time at WebmasterWorld but rarely gets noticed and I just can't be the only one having a hard time wrapping my head around this.
5 sites x 100 pages = 500 pages.
That is more then a very big book! So, this person has written a book? Actually written a book's worth of content? Do you have any idea how long it takes a real writer to complete a book's worth of content?
I have 2 writing degrees and it took me all of May to write 26 really great authoritative articles with quotes and interviews and lots of research, etc. These are no small articles either. The shortest is 600 words. It took me a month to do 26.
SO now I, and Google, and everyone else is suppose to believe that it's possible just to spit out 500 pages of "content" - and none of it looks a bit suspicious?
No offense but you're wondering why your AS income is lower when the very act of what you did is a bit suspicious.
Maybe he really did write a book, but in 9 out 10 cases, when someone says they just published a monster site with 500 or 1,000 or 2,000 "content" pages, I think to myself: - "yeah, 1,000 pages of the same crud that is already out on the net million times already."
Just because someone changes the design of the webpage around the "content" doesn't make it unique content.
Sorry, I'm just cynical by experience and reality. Maybe he really did write a book in which case, I apologize. But it does look a bit suspicious.
"They don't. Visitors do. And webmasters who make links to your content. SE's notice those links. "
Yes, but when we talk about adsense, it is mentioned a lot that unique content will let your top keywords be higher, as a "stupid" list that we saw over the net that the word "me...." is a high bid, and then everyones makes pages about this. And many more said that are just getting few cents about this topic. While others are getting more $$ with the same ad.
How adsense increase the value of each keyword in the site?
Sure they do. Google can very easily detect duplicate content.
Go to your favorite wikipedia article a paste a sentence or two from it and see how many "similar results" show up after you add &filter=0 to the SERP's URL.
As far as detecting it, from what I understand, each page can be reduced to a unique numerical string based on the frequency of words on the page. This string is, in effect, a summary of the content on the page. Any page which has this same identifier will have the same string.
This is why, in part, pages with very little text content per page, other than navigation, etc, often have problems with duplicate content filter.
- And I just have to wonder. I mean, it really sound suspicious.
GoogleGuy has said it over and over that organic growth is better = links and content. When someone gets 5,000 links to their mesothelioma-buy-viagra-debt-consolidation.com website in 1 week, Google is going to know that something's not right here.
Then they go over to the Google news forum and post comments that Google is corrupt and cheating them.
There's a lot of questions left open here about your "unique content."
Otherwise, why did you ask this question?
But How google defines Unique content, how they know (spiders) that is a unique content?
And PatrickDeese is bringing it home with some excellent posts.
If google knows which pages are with no-unique content how google can decide which page is the one that made it first? or does google low-rank for all pages with equal content? (that will not fair there are many copy-paste users).
the word "me...." is a high bid, and then everyones makes pages about this. And many more said that are just getting few cents about this topic. While others are getting more $$ with the same ad. How adsense increase the value of each keyword in the site?
It's determined by 'smart pricing', which is (or should be) based on conversion. It's not based on uniqueness of content.
