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.

My PR1 website with no manual action is not appearing in the google top 200 result, it used to be top 1
Hi All, My website has 5 years of history, it used to be top 3 for its keyword with an SEO firm I hired back then with PR3. After 2013, its ranking starts dropping to not appearing at all in the google search result. But my site is not banned. There are still some long tail google traffic. There is no manual action in the webmaster tool. Even today, it still has PR1 but it is still not appearing in the top 200 results of google. My onsite optimization for the main keyword is good. It's just not appearing in google results at all. I manually reviewed all the top 200 results, there are so many spammy blogs were listed but not my legit website homepage with unique content. I do regret hiring that SEO firm now. But there is no manual action to my site according to google so I don't know if I should disavow all the old backlinks. I started to do some quality SEO works myself now. My ranking is now at around 11~15 in Yahoo/Bing from 30~40. Do I see some light at the end of the tunnel? Does that mean my site may appear in google again? Thank you all for the reply.

Google Sitelinks
Hello, Good afternoon. I am having a site issue with Sitelinks. For some reason when I search Google for the brand I represent "California Olive Ranch" Sitelinks are not being generated. When I search for "Cal Olive Ranch" our site links are being generated. Our domain is Californiaoliveranch.com. Is there a way to tell Google to to change the site links to match our domain and brand name? Is this something that can be done in Google Webmasters? Thank you very much for your help. Adam P

Google Places, Google Plus, Oh my!
Ok - So I am in the position to try and clean up the current Google places nightmare for a company. Right now there is about 3 or 4 different google places listings for them that they have no control over. So here is what I did: 1. I took control of them all by verifying via phone and confirmed all of them. 2. I suspended all the listings but 1 3. I edited the one listing to be accurate and complete.

Then I waited, and waited... A month later, the old listings are still up and none of the changes to the one listing have been made. Today it gets a bit more complicated. Today I created a Google+ page for the business which seems like it may end up adding yet ANOTHER Google Places listing, is that correct? They are sending a post card to verify, but I have the page all set up ready to go and plan on tying it to the website. I am not exactly sure what my specific question is, but I am looking for any advice anyone has on the best way to go about this situation. Thank you in advance!0 -

Removing pages from website
Hello all, I am fairly new to the SEOmoz community. But i am working for a company which organizes exhibitons, events and training in Holland. A lot of these events are only given ones ore twice and then we do not organise them any more because they are no longer relevant. Every event has its own few webpages which provide information about the event and are being indexed by Google. In the past we did not remove any of these events. I was looking in the CMS and saw a lot of events of 2008 and older which are being indexed. To clean the website and the CMS i am thinking of removing these pages of old events. The risk is that these pages have some links to them and are getting some traffic, so if i remove them there is a risk of losing traffic and rankings. What would be the wise thing to do? Make a folder with archive or something? Regards, Ruud

How do you measure content on a website?
I never thought of this question before. Maybe because i didn't focus myself on content but only on optimizing existing content from clients. So how do you measure the content on a specific page?

Website has been penalized?
Hey guys, We have been link building and optimizing our website since the beginning of June 2010. Around August-September 2010, our site appeared on second page for the keywords we were targeting for around a week. They then dropped off the radar - although we could still see our website as #1 when searching for our company name, domain name, etc. So we figured we had been put into the 'google sandbox' sort of thing. That was fine, we dealt with that. Then in December 2010, we appeared on the first page for our keywords and maintained first page rankings, even moving up the top 10 for just over a month. On January 13th 2011, we disappeared from Google for all of the keywords we were targeting, we don't even come up in the top pages for company name search. Although we do come up when searching for our domain name in Google and we are being cached regularly. Before we dropped off the rankings in January, we did make some semi-major changes to our site, changing meta description, changing content around, adding a disclaimer to our pages with click tracking parameters (this is when SEOmoz prompted us that our disclaimer pages were duplicate content) so we added the disclaimer URL to our robots.txt so Google couldn't access it, we made the disclaimer an onclick link instead of href, we added nofollow to the link and also told Google to ignore these parameters in Google Webmaster Central. We have fixed the duplicate content side of things now, we have continued to link build and we have been adding content regularly. Do you think the duplicate content (for over 13,000 pages) could have triggered a loss in rankings? Or do you think it's something else? We index pages meta description and some subpages page titles and descriptions. We also fixed up HTML errors signaled in Google Webmaster Central and SEOmoz. The only other reason I think we could have been penalized, is due to having a link exchange script on our site, where people could add our link to their site and add theirs to ours, but we applied the nofollow attribute to those outbound links. Any information that will help me get our rankings back would be greatly appreciated!
