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.

Google News problem
Hello to all. The latest Google algorithm changes have had a big impact on the way that Google news features stories, at least in my country. I've been featured heavily in Google News until about 6th of october, when the changes had the biggest impact, but since then, I haven't been featured at all. Prior to this, I would be featured for keywords on almost any article, not necessarily on the 1st position, but I was almost always there. Posts still show up in the dedicated News category, but not in the main search pages. I've seen a lot of websites being impacted, but some with lower ranks than mine still show up there. I haven't done any changes prior to the 6th of october, and I haven't done any link building campaings, just getting links from higher ranking news sites in my country, for articles I wrote. What I'd like to know is if there were any major changes for Google News and I'm not complying with any of them, or If i could check to see if there are any other problems. I don't have any penalties disclosed by Google, and no new errors in the Webmasters console, I'm just baffled by the fact that overnight the website was completely cut off from being featured in Google News. And one other strange thing, I'm now ranking better for searches that are kind of opposite to my website's main theme. Think about mainly writing about BMW, and less about AUDI, but ranking a lot better for the latter, and a lot less for the other. Thank you.

How Does Google Handle Websites Like Craigslist
Hi, I am just eager to know that how Google handles the websites like craigslist.org because this is a classified website and also the same user we can expect to post with same title and description in many classified websites. So, this will cause many duplicate content issues and also thin content issues. So, how does Google treat this kind of websites. Thanks in Advance

Do you have any recommendations on it?

Hit by the penguin update
Hi, My site @ www.mortgageadvicecenter.co.uk has been hit by the penguin update. I cannot be found at all in google for certain keywords such as mortgage advice where we ranked page 2. We still rank for certain keywords. I really don't know why we have been penalised and what to do. I have plenty of brand links and nothing out of the ordinary link distribution. This obviously affects our bottem line so do you have any idea's or time scales? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks Ryan

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

Google not visiting my site
Hi my site www.in2town.co.uk which is a lifestyle magazine has gone under a major refit. I am still working on it but it should be ready by the end of this week or sooner but one problem i have is, google is not visiting the site. I took a huge gamble to redo the site, even though before the refit i was getting a few thousand visitors a day, i wanted to make the site better as i was getting google webmaster errors. But now it seems google is not visiting the site. for example i am using sh404sef and i have put friendly url in the site and on the home page it has its name and meta tag but when you look at google it is not giving the site a name. Also it has not visited the site since october 13th Can anyone advise how to encourage google to visit the site please.
