Patientenfragen.net - vBSEO Case Study

It was a long time since my last update but here is a new one

I also cleaned the Case Study post to make it more usable.
I hope you like the new look.

Another update.

This time with a very nice increase in Adsense Earnings

This is the reason why I say:

ALWAYS keep experimenting with your AD Placements and TRACK your Results!

Was ich noch anmerken wollte. Bilder neben den Google Anzeigen sind verboten und verstoßen leider gegen die Richtlinien von Google: AdSense: Bilder (direkt) neben Anzeigen nicht gestattet

Aber schöne Foren hast du da!

Wir fordern Publisher dazu auf, Bilder nicht derartig Seite an Seite mit Anzeigenblöcken zu platzieren, dass eine Verbindung zwischen Bild und Anzeige suggeriert wird. Eure Besucher könnten annehmen, dass eine direkte Beziehung zwischen Bildern und Anzeigen besteht, z.B. dass der Inserent eben diesen spezifischen Artikel anbietet, der auf dem Bild neben dem Anzeigenblock abgebildet ist. Womöglich klicken eure Besucher auf die Anzeige und erwarten, dort etwas zu finden, was in Wirklichkeit gar nicht angeboten wird. Dies führt zu einer schlechten Erfahrung sowohl für den Besucher als auch für den Inserenten

In den Publisherrichtlinien steht:

Place misleading images alongside individual ads.

Das ist die Krux.
Ich habe nicht ein Foto von einem iPod neben iPod Werbung gepackt,
es sind generische Bilder ohne direkten Zusammenhang zu der Werbung.

Gruß

Another Update for my case study

Enjoy

Feedback and questions are very welcome as always

Hmmm I really like this month update.
Seems that google likes my forum very much

I added a graph that displays adsense earnings in comparison to unique visitors per month.

I think that this is another interesting metric

Nice results StarBug, Keep up the Good work

Another beautiful update of my stats.

Google LOVES me

Especially since upgrading to vB4 Series

Whoa, that's a huge jump! great news if it sticks. Evidently the upgrade to vB4/vBSEO3.5 had a very positive impact in your search engine referrals performance.

Congrats.

That is AMAZING !

I think the CTR improves if the ads are posted in the second post. Could you tell us how to display ads like that in vB4?

Here you go:

Adsense Integration as second post - StarBuG optimized blending - vBulletin.org Forum



By the way... I just updated the case study

Thanks, StarBuG! I'm however concerned whether a sudden jump in CTR because of change in ad-placement would make Google suspicious about my account? What was your experience?

The 2nd post ad is well within google adsense TOS so you don't have to worry.
I use it for more then 3 years now.

If you still do then contact google and ask them if your placement is within TOS to make sure.

Thank-you for continuing to share your progress with everyone, it's perhaps the most comprehensive case study we have on the forums.

Cheers

This Case Study ends after 3 Years

After 3 Years of maintaining this case study I decided to stop making all my statistics public.
I think there comes a point for a thriving business where making their stats so public
does more harm then good. I hope you enjoyed the journey as well as I did and maybe
you learned a few things from my experiments. I still visit this forum so you can ask me
any questions you like. As last gift to all the followers of my case study I made a last update.
Enjoy and thank you for watching my project grow.
