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!!

Huge Drop in Shopping Campaigns clicks
Anyone else experiencing a huge drop in impressions/clicks? we noticed on Friday a sudden drop with impressions/clicks on multiple shopping campaigns which have been running very successfully for a number of years, we have checked merchant centre for any errors or warnings, also checked our feed everything looks OK apart from the extreme sudden drop. All our search campaigns are performing as normal, our natural rankings are also perfectly normal, just affecting shopping campaigns, we cannot figure out why. Anyone else seen any extreme changes with shopping campaigns recently? We are based in the UK

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!

Google Merchant Shopping - UK Mainland Shipping
Hi Guys, I am setting up my first Google Merchant account. As it's only a couple of products to start, I am doing this manually rather than a xml feed, and got to shipping. If it is free shipping for UK mainland but different for scottish isles, scottish highlands and Northern Ireland, how do I reflect this? What values do i use to suggest free shipping for UK Mainland and give different values for the others? Regards Neil

What Cities from Around the World are Popular Hubs for E-Commerce Businesses?
I am trying to target e-commerce merchants to see my Google AdWords ads and would like to know what cities are most popular for e-commerce businesses. I know Delhi is a huge hub in India. I would also assume U.S. cities include Boston, New York, and Seattle. I would also assume London and probably Paris as well. What other cities do you recommend for geo-targeting e-commerce merchants? Thank you!

Is Monster allowed to float AdSense?
So I was browsing Monster.com and realized that they have a pop-up floating AdSense ad when you scroll halfway down the page....check it out: http://jobsearch.monster.com/search/Full-Time_8?jt=142&q=Search-Engine-Optimization-__28SEO__29&sort=dt.rv.di How are they allowed to do this? As I understand, this is not allowed. https://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=48182 In order to ensure a good experience for users and advertisers, publishers participating in the AdSense program may not: Compensate users for viewing ads or performing searches, or promise compensation to a third party for such behavior. Encourage users to click the Google ads using phrases such as "click the ads", "support us", "visit these links" or other similar language. Direct user attention to the ads using arrows or other graphical gimmicks. Place misleading images alongside individual ads. Place ads in a floating box script. Format ads so that they become indistinguishable from other content on that page. Format site content so that it is difficult to distinguish it from ads. Place misleading labels above Google ad units. For instance, ads may be labelled "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements", but not "Favourite Sites" or "Today's Top Offers".

SIte wide links by google display / adsense
hey guys, I had a quick question about my back links that might be coming from adsense. I am trying to help my father our on his site and help him recover from penguin. unfortunately his company hired some shady SEOers to do "SEO". little did my dad know the BLs he were getting might be spammy, thats what I am checking now. When I ran a BL report on him ( i use two tools, SEO spyglass and OSE ) i found that there were many "sitewide" links, but i dont think there were placed there by the webmaster, i think they come from adsense. I know he has a PPC campaign where the daily spend is 3k/ day so I know its very possible that this might be the case. If my tool is picking up BLs from these sites ( which are niche related ) does google count these links for ranking purposes? and might this hurt my rankings if google just sees these as "sitewide links"
