Google Adsense allows webmasters to place ads on their website and to earn money.
I have been running Google Adsense on my sites for many years now starting off with SASA.
SASA is a not for profit community organisation providing information and support to thousands of stepfamilies each year. Google adsense paid for all of our hosting costs.
We developed more websites and before too long I was receiving an income from Adsense.
The majority of sites that I have developed are around family, and as you know family is not a high paying keyword word. But that can be over come by increasing the traffic to your site and that is what we achieved.
But, we put all our eggs in one basket relying on all our traffic to come from Google search.
What happens when that drops off.
More in part 2
This is the first in a series of articles trying to understand why my websites have seen a major drop of traffic in the past month. One site SASA has seen a drop of 80%.
If over a number of years you had built a successful business and if the number of customers visiting your business was quite steady you would be quite happy.
But overnight, you noticed that the number of customers coming to your shop dropped by over 80% you would be quickly looking for the reasons behind such a dramatic drop.
In my situation the reason is that the number of visitors being sent via Google has dried up, Google has turned off the tap and only a trickle of visitors is coming to my site.
Why has this happened? What have I done wrong for this to happen?
Hopefully over the next couple of weeks, I might find some answers
