Little update on this case. Google simply murdered my account. No explanation. No policy violations or any kind of that stuff. The account has gone from hundreds of clicks to just a few clicks per day. They still show banners at full thrust on my sites raking all the money earned, they just...

That is true, and I was having some first toughs related to regulation changes, but it turned out no to be relevant in my case as my drop affected all regions equally. Still, the subject of regulation changes is worth starting a new thread to see how much people are affected by this.

To those of you wondering what happened here in my case, I had a small breakthrough. The support team responded explaining that I recently had increased amount of invalid clicks and this deduction is temporary measure currently applied on my account. It is a bit of relief, because I did not...

That is a good advice for general optimization. Yet, I'm dealing with something more concerning. I came here to see if this problem only affects my account, and since no one seem to have similar issues, I will keep looking for something related to my account.

I'm sorry that my graph misled you :) This chart comes from adsense and not the search console. What I wanted to show with this graph, is that: • I do have same amount of impressions (no changes in traffic - visitors come and they do see the banners. My analytics tools agree with that) • I do...

No changes in traffic or anything. In fact, the traffic is slightly growing overall. I do have usual ad impressions, just huge loss in clicks:

I'm experiencing terrible earnings drop this week. The stats show almost same amount of impressions, but clicks dropped by 70% which is abnormal for my adsense account (it was quite steady for the last few years). This graph shows, that all websites regardless of niche, target country or...

You might experience that. Mostly, because the IP itself does not carry any location data. Instead, services like Cloudflare and Google rely on static databases to assign country to IP. This method is not 100% reliable and some bots will slip though no matter what. Read more...

Haha, nice catch. Ever since I've tried GA4, I'm denying it's existance. I'm giving google time to abandon GA4 project and continue with GA. Jokes aside, it could be that GA4 has a better (or at least more strict) ruleset to recognize a bot. But if it only excludes them form Organic Traffic, it...

Blocking in Cloudflare helps to some extent but will never be 100% effective since IP's don't really belong to any specific country by design. Which means that Google and Cloudflare relies on their own databases to assign each IP to some country. When these databases do not match, you see a slip...

Well, good luck dealing with that... I think most of google products are getting worse and the increasing number of bugs is getting really obvious. When it comes to search ranking, I keep seeing auto-generated spam outranking legit content. This is one of the reasons I recently started using...

Got hit very badly. All of my English sites affected. Multiple hosting providers, multiple niches, all legit, no black hat stuff etc. Has nothing to do with analytics, I have my own server-side tracking to rule this theory out.

Here is a situation: After domain registration I discovered that it was previously used. Nothing strange about it and I'm sure it happens all the time. However, before it expired, I think it was "officially" redirected to a different site. And now, if you search for my domain, that other site...

Hi there. I was going to create a thread but this might be related. Today I've noticed that my Adsense is under-performing so I started looking around and this is what I found. It takes forever to load the banners so the user might bounce off or navigate to another page before ads are loaded...

Direct search with "site:domain.com" shows About 5,980 results. The results are listed with the said, expired domain. Original site is still up, might cause a conflict with original owner. There are some links. Enough for an expired domain to hold 15 out of 260 keywords in top 10 results. It's...
