No improvements here guys, it's all dead and getting worse.

Last day of January is really pathetic :(

On my WordPress site, the auto ads worked perfectly. There was no overlapping, etc.

There is what you/we see, and what visitors see. This is what bothers me with auto ads, is that we can't be sure of what it really looks like. For example, when I tried it for 2 days, I didn't see any ads myself, while the Adsense stats recorded impressions and clicks. So I have no way to know where ads were showing, and how it was impacting or not my page layout.

CPM's are in the toilet at the end of the month. Still, did better this month than January so that's something.

[Unshiny]

Did worse this month by far....because we did not have the early good for us early January part this month, obviously. Big drag.

I was going to try out Ezoic... First i wasn't a fan of their dashboard. It felt overly complicated.

They have two choices for integration, either a javascript code or changing nameservers. Since I wasn't sure if or how long I was going to use them, I decided to go with the javascript. 48 hours later.. still no integration, so I opened a support ticket... I got 3 different log winded emails about why nameserver integration is best. Felt more like a sales pitch than support. On top of that, no one bothered to answer the question as to why the javascript integration wasn't working.

Felt like I was buying a used car.. I just removed the code. I might try a competitor or something but honestly... i think i will just try to move away from adsense and any company that is involved with them.

Ezoic is really complicated. Try AdPushup, but if you do, forget "good user experience" phrase - impossible with Adpushup.

I'm doing manual placement and AdX. Just waiting for the day when Google starts removing ads from site with failing status (when all are reviewed), hopefully earnings will improve at that time.

@MayankParmar thanks i will look into them.

That's what I'm waiting for. They appear to be dragging their feet on this one. Could it be because some of their top earners are the sites that are the worst offenders?

I can't see how people will want their Adsense ads blocked. If the status is failing you fix things and submit for review, I am sure most site owners would do that.

[kegnum]

@kash1111 I agree with this... chrome makes up too much of the web traffic. There will be very few offenders that don't fix the issue. Remember, they aren't just blocking adsense.. they are blocking all ads. so it doesnt make sense not to.
