Reversing Ezoic's effects on AdSense

[LazyTomato]

Hello

I tried Ezoic on my website and it went well for some time, untill for some reason Ezoic started blocking Googlebot which was killing my site. After working with their support team to fix the issue, I realized they were just as clueless as I was and decided to remove the integration altogether.

But removing the integration messed up AdSense and I can't seem to be able to fix this. After removing integration impression RPMs for my website plummeted and impressions absolutely skyrocketed, completely outside of the historical norm.

The problem is when compared to last year, analytics tells me I lost like 20% of traffic, but revenue is down 70%+ - probably because of this messed up integration.

How can I revert these effects? I've tried:

Removing every association from Ezoic, both on their website and Ad Manager
Rearranging the AdSense ads on the website
Asking their support for help, which they denied being on them.

I'm attaching an image of what the stats look like.

Can you do a comparison of each of the pages' performance? Not just an account as a whole.

What does your traffic now vs then look like?
What do the keywords look like now vs then?
What are those CPC for those keywords?

Once you comb over the first two, look at your page's performance individually.

This is really fucken scary to hear as I was about to switch over to Ezoic.

Ezoic worked really well for a couple of months until it started blocking Googlebot. Figured out it was Ezoic as after trying everything else, disabling Ezoic just fixed the problem immediately.

Traffic is down 20% YoY but revenue from AdSense (not other sources) is down around 70% YoY. Site is in the same niche and ranking for the same keywords. Traffic drop is some it lost first place to a competitor.

EDIT: The data shows just this website, not whole AdSense account

70% is pretty rough. What is your ad CTR/CPC like?
How much is revenue down vs. Ezoic?

CPC remains steady, CTR dropped 66% as there are now so many ad impressions.

I'm assuming your ad placements have remained the same?
