Morning Guys, I came across this interesting article whilst reading my daily seo tips website. Google has released yet another algorithm to their search and i think compared to the rest past, this is the pure marketing strategy they aiming at, consume all without mercy lol. Check out the post here http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/01/page-layout-algorithm-improvement.html The interesting part is, adsense specifically suggests placing their ads above the fold according to this page http://support.google.com/adsense/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=1354747 I would be very interested to hear your opinions on this, I have already seen huge decline on my computer information site and have removed some ads, anyone else experience this already?
I've got one adsense site making me around $75 a month. I have it on a few other sites but they are little if any traffic. I think it's a good thing that sites that place too many ads above the fold should be penalised. However, surely this affects the vast majority of adsense sites and most online magazines etc who place large banners above the main website design. No doubt they'll make exceptions for the big players.
yes rightly said but this is google playing greed again. they would rather have ads displayed on their search engine and email services and with gplus coming of age, that would also be an avenue. I might be wrong but i think this probably where google is going with this. They have probably seen the succes of facebook ads without 3rd party websites and want a piece of it lol Just my thought
I definitely see them introducing ads to Google+ once it has become established. I'm still not sure whether it will be a huge success though. They are reporting a huge number of people signing up for Google+ however they have set it so that anyone who has a Google account is signed up for Google+ - this means people who only use gmail, people who only use Google docs etc. Their figures are misleading. I'm curious as to what their active user number is.
