Adsense and e-shops.To do or not?
-
I own a furniture e-shop with 240K pageviews per month.
Should I put Adsense to gain some more money?
Or it would drive my customers away?
I see many e-shops using Adsense advertising.
Is there a good reason not to use it ?

Hi
I do run an e-shop and also a physical store.
I only sell products directly to my customers.

Hello,
There are a few questions I would like to ask to get a better idea of your situation.
1. Do you only run an e-shop? So you only sell your products online, no physical store?
2. Do you actually sell the products or your doing affiliate marketing?
In most cases, I wouldn't actually put it on my e-commerce site because having advertisements on your store seems unprofessional. The only place I would actually put ads would be in the blog section.

Hi
Using Adsense on your web pages can be very profitable especially if you have good traffic going to a site and they are not stuffed all over the site as this will make the site quite spammy and will potentially put customers off. There are a number of ways to place the adverts on your site without them being to invasive such as drop down, slider options.
I guess it really depends what type of adverts you place and if your prepared for your visitors to start click searching elsewhere and therefore leaving your site chasing the link they have clicked on. Adsense can work good for example on a tourism site maybe providing an information guide or accommodation where a visitor might want something else such as car hire, restaurants or activities as well as your product .
With e-commerce I wonder if the ads will really benefit your visitors and not really pay you to have them on your site therefore may have a negative impact to you vistors and the appearance of your website.
The best way is it to try it an see if it works for you, setup a few adverts and monitor the impact of them this will give you an idea.
In my experience it generally works well for information providing websites where visitors are exploring not only the site they are on but others also.
Hope its helps, i guess as the saying goes suck it and see!!

Can Google Shopping Ads Lower Ranking due to Bounce?
I am noticing Google Shopping Ads are showing up for really irrelevant keywords on some of my products. This quite predictably causes a high bounce rate when a user comes from these ads. There is very little control over what Google Ads seems to decide are relevant keywords from what I can see. Only control is by viewing search terms and setting as negative keywords, but his doesn't help much. Negative keywords are often ignored or they come up with some other really irrelevant new keyword. Seems this high bounce rate could hurt ranking? Any experiences shared with Google Shopping ads appreciated!

301 Redirects and Google Shopping Feeds
I am moving my site from Volusion to Shopify. The domain remains the same but the URL paths are different. With respect to my Google Shopping feed, is it best to send old URLs (with 301 redirects) or to send the new URLs?

Can Google shopping listings affect SEO rankings?
Hello everyone. Here is my question: Until 4 weeks ago we used to have just around 2,000 product/pages on Google shopping of our product pages, then we added over 40,000 more items/pages to it, and our Google natural search rankings dropped on most of our long-tail keywords pointing to the same product pages. Do you think that's just coincidence or could the number of products/pages on Google shopping affect natural search results?

Google Shopping Campaigns
We have noticed a noticable (typo correction) drop in Adword sales since switching to the new Google Shopping Campaigns in Google Adwords. I have just posted a comment to a Fellow Mozzer on here, as this reflects in his question too. Has anyone else noticed this?
