Comment on Adsense Earnings Crippled By PC Optimization Software by Steve (Admin)

Steve (Admin) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:31:35 +0000

Hi P..?

This is a very frustrating situation indeed & what makes it more annoying is Google’s apathetic attitude to this problem.
God only knows how many people worldwide are not seeing our ads!

Thanks for the info on “Spyware Blaster” hopefully that will help others to track down their own problems on this matter.

With regard to the ad networks, I am considering blocking all ad networks so my sites only show ads from Google’s adwords, in theory this should solve the problem, because it is certain ad networks & not Google itself that is getting blocked!

I have made a start going through my sites & removing all adsense from the home page, it is one thing having Adsense slow your site down if your earning money from it, but I don’t see the point in putting up with a slow home page when half the ads don’t display!

Cheers Steve

Steve,
I, too, noticed last year that none of my Link Ads displayed properly on IE on several PCs, but displayed fine on FF, Chrome, etc. Just the Ad Links. I couldn’t find anything on the Internet at the time, but today I found the Google forum and your blog post.

Yes – *.doubleclick.net was in my IE Restricted Sites list! And when I deleted it, the Link Ads displayed … except I don’t have any PC Tools software. Hmmm. After cogitating, I did some tests and determined that the popular Spyware Blaster product (free download) was adding doubleclick.net to the Restricted List. I tested multiple times.

So, theoretically, any number of spywall preventative software products could be doing this. Groan.

I have 2 additional thoughts. First, when I look at “Ad Networks” from within AdSense “Performance Reports,” Doubleclick is not listed as I thought it would be. Secondly, I’m having a small problem seeing this as Google’s problem – though they should be eager to try and fix it for their own sake!

Thanks for your post.

Comment on Improve Alexa Ranking Tip 5 by Tahoe SEO

Well Steve i must say great work really especially since all the posts are elaborate and very helpful for people like me who are new to seo. I totally agree with you on the fact that without proper seo one cannot improve the website’s Alexa ranking just on the basis of its content. I really don’t understand how sudarshan got it though as he says that he didn’t do any kind of seo work or posting. Thanks a lot for sharing Steve.

Comment on Global Translator Plugin For WordPress – WARNING! by Rob

Dangerous plugin, I could not understand why my site was going down in PR all the time… nasty, useless plugin that could have been written with a bit more code and made it good – but no…

You have to manually block all the directories in the robots.txt then request manually again all those files directories to be deleted from Google just to get rid of the damn thing.

How many people are using this and their rank is dropping like a stone and they dont know why??

Hey Sean,
Thanks for the great comment. With regards to any update of the article, so far I have not really found anything that makes a noticeable difference to what i am already doing, not as far as SEO goes anyway. The thing is there are literally dozens of good SEO plugins available, both free & premium plugins such as SEOPressor, but where do I draw the line..? it simply is not practical to include every single SEO plugin in one article and therefore I focussed on what I was / am using myself. By doing this I know that the info I post is true & factual, this sites ranking should be sufficient to validate that & lets face it, to be ranked number 1 out of bbout 913,000,000 results should be all the proof that is required.
Cheers Steve

Thanks for the side-by-side review Steve, these types of articles are particularly helpful. Wondering if you plan on updating the post to include Yoasts seo plugin. Seems to be getting rave reviews.

Thanks again _ Sean
