That 7 place drop meant I went from 14 to 21 which put me on page 3 where the sun don't shine! I hate to admit it, but being in my first year of real adsense earnings, I desperately needed that page 2 placing! Links from that search meant visitors were targetted.
I've been in this game long enough to know that search engines are like the weather, so I'll hand in there and backtrack, look where I've slacked off and start the climb again.
April will get better. Where I am now, no place to go but UP!
See- that's what is difficult about this program.
We provide new content, then have to study the zero-performers and take them away. Constant tweaking is for people who can do this full-time. HA
Anyways... my site's also dependent on SERPS traffic right now but I'm working hard to try and reduce that dependency. I really HATE having to rely on some crappy rankings list to bring me traffic, especially when there seems to be tons of sites above me that are just rubbish - (no sour grapes here... honest).
But I must say that when you see your adsense earnings go up, you just want MORE...
For me it is okay! 6% up on last April (same sites), now in a depressed industry vs. last year. More Lookers, less buyers, Adsence is sitting pretty!
The great thing about Adsense is that it is less volatile to sales performance. When a recession hits the lookers still look! Can't convert them to a sale, but, can convert them to a click.......think about it publishers & merchants!
