Hello,

I have had facebook page for quite a while with a large following, who share my posts regulary so things tend to go viral.

I started a news style website by popular demand, and it has also helped because I can do larger articles rather than just short facebook posts.

anyway, when i write an article (one per day) and share the link to my facebook page, it usually gets me about 1.5k to 2.5k website views for the day, most of it being on the page of the article, with some other users visiting multiple pages. This has been giving me between 30 & 50 clicks per day at a low amount of 0.07 pence (11 cents) per click - so about £2.50 / £3.50 per day.

Will there be an issue of having just social traffic from google's perspective? or do they not care? does anyone rely solely on adsense, or do I have other advertising options if i am getting around 40k website visits per month (85% unique currently)

thanks in advance

Welcome to WebmasterWorld mukflash

Traffic quality is more important than numbers. If the numbers are high, but the traffic is poor your earnings will be low, relative to the traffic volume, and, potentially, user satisfaction will be lower.

Look at the type of ads that are appearing. Are they the correct type of ads for the content?

the ads that display when i visit the website, tend to be cache information from my browsing history e.g i was looking for car servicing last week online, and it displays car servicing local to me.

i also visitied my website on an american proxy, i did a political article and it was showing ads relating to politics.

the traffic is showing 90% unique visitors, as my artciles tend to be shared a lot and end up in places where its seen by people who are not my actual facebook followers.
