Looking for live website examples of google adsense since panda update
-
Hi, i am looking for some live websites that use google adsense who have changed their layout since the panda update
If anyone can please point me in the right direction so i can see good examples of how sites have now changed their google adsense layout so we can learn from this, then that would be great
regards
-
would love to pm you and learn more about going direct to advertisers instead of affliate sites.so where the column is, where the related items is, i should remove that.
when i remove the 2 column it means i only have one google adsense on the page, would you put the google adsense anywhere else on the page
-
Maybe you can remove the middle column and keep it at 2 columns, so it's not as overwhelming?
Getting advertisers isn't that difficult. Look at the people who are paying for ads on adsense or who are advertising on your competitors' sites and offer them a good deal for the amount of traffic you can drive them. The more tech-savvy merchants may also have affiliate accounts set up, where you can just sign up on their site to be an affiliate and make commissions from every sale you make.

The trouble i have with advertising is, i am rubbish at selling, there we go, i have held my hands up, i cannot sell. This has always been my biggest problem. That is why i have turned to google adsense to try and earn money this way but my returns are low.
I have spent the last 24 hours trying to find the best advertising layout. I do not want to overcome the reader with advertising, i want to earn the money with the advertising but at the same time i want it to be user friendly and more about the user experience.
seeing this layout, would it put you off from reading what is on the page or coming back to the site.

Adsense is bottom-of-the-barrel as far as online advertising is concerned. If you want to see greater ROI, you want to work directly with your advertisers instead of having Google as a middleman.
Seeing as this is a lifestyle site, there are plenty of merchants you could be working with from travel, clothing, food, weightloss, books, etc.
-
I am a bit worried that it does not look professional and the adverts are to much in your face. the return on the clicks is low on this new layout, so was thinking of changing the layout now to try something different.
-
Looks good to me, at least from an SEO perspective.
-
just researching your link now, was hoping to find sites that are not big companies to see how they are getting on since the panda update.
I have been plaing around with my google adsense for a few months now, changing the layout all the time, trying to find one that works for me. just about to make another change today.
can you let me know what you think of this layout that i have been using for a few weeks
many thanks

I am very confident that you can have two ads above the fold and not have a problem with Panda. I think that Panda is more about content problems than it is with ad problems.
I own and know of lots of sites that have a leaderboard above the content and either a skyscraper or large rectangle above the fold and beside the content.
So, if you are not slappin' the visitor's face with the ads I think you will be fine.

This is a good article on adsense layouts with some examples:

Bottom line, you want to keep your above the fold ads to a minimum and make sure that your content-to-ad ratio is high.

Redirects for new website
Hi Moz community,
Technical SEO | | JSimmons17
I'm a fairly new SEO Specialist with a brand new website. We initially had a very basic holding website until the fully functional website was completed. I have to do some redirects as we have both .html and .php files & we don't want to lose SEO value for specific pages (like the index, news, etc). I also want to redirect from a www url to a non-www url. I am trying to accomplish redirects with the following code: RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mywebsite.com [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) http://mywebsite.com/$1 [R=301,L] RedirectMatch 301 /index.html (.*).(php|html) http://mywebsite.com/index.php RedirectMatch 301 /cupcakes-slideshow/glutenfree-slideshow.html (.*).(php|html) http://mywebsite.com/gluten-and-glutenfree.php RedirectMatch 301 /press.html (.*).(php|html) http://mywebsite.com/news-and-reviews.php Please let me know if I am on the right track. Thanks so much in advance!0 -
Staging site and "live" site have both been indexed by Google
While creating a site we forgot to password protect the staging site while it was being built. Now that the site has been moved to the new domain, it has come to my attention that both the staging site (site.staging.com) and the "live" site (site.com) are both being indexed. What is the best way to solve this problem? I was thinking about adding a 301 redirect from the staging site to the live site via HTACCESS. Any recommendations?

Website Down
Hello guys, My website hasn't been reachable for couple of hours today and I can't really understand why as no links have been built, all the best practices have been followed regarding on page optimization. I also checked google webmaster tools and there are no warning messages, crawl problems or anything so I don't understand why this has happened. Now for some reason the website is up and running again.

A possible hit by panda
Hi there, on the panda update a few weeks ago i noticed i dropped 8 places for a very competitive keyword. All my content in the site is unique and quality. Its also not published elsewhere. I think the update did knock this one keyword down for me - no others got hti though. Perhaps the landing page got it? too many mentions of the keyword? however i didn't think i spammed it on the page, perhaps jsut mentioned once or twice - any ideas? Any help aprpeciated 🙂

UK website ranking higher in Google.com than Google.co.uk
Hi, I have a UK website which was formerly ranked 1<sup>st</sup> in Google.co.uk and .com for my keyword phrase and has recently slipped to 6<sup>th</sup> in .co.uk but is higher in position 4 in Google.com. I have conducted a little research and can’t say for certain but I wonder if it is possible that too many of my backlinks are US based and therefore Google thinks my website is also US based. Checked Google WmT and we the geo-targeted to the UK. Our server is also UK based. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Thanks

Do or don't —forward a parked domain to a live website?
Hi all, I'm new to SEO and excited to see the launch of this forum. I've searched for an answer to this question but haven't been able to find out. I "attended" two webinars recently regarding SEO. The above subject was raised in each one and the speakers gave a polar opposite recommendations. So I'm completely at a loss as to what to do with some domains that are related to a domain used on a live website that I'm working to improve the SEO on. The scenario: Live website at (fictitious) www.digital-slr-camera-company.com. I also have 2 related domain names which are parked with the registrar: www.dslr.com, www.digitalslr.com. The question: Is there any SEO benefit to be gained by pointing the two parked domains to the website at www.digitalcamercompany.com? If so, what method of "pointing" should be used? Thanks to any and all input.
