AdsenseExperts.com - The Professional Adsense Publisher Network
 

Hello Everyone,

I am a frequent user of big webmaster communities like digitalpoint or webmasterworld.
However these communities get flooded with Adsense newbies and their newbie questions.
To find the gold in all these threads you have to read hundreds of them.

That is why I started my new Project:

http://www.adsenseexperts.com

I would really like some feedback from you as professional vBulletin webmasters on my new project.
Especially some feedback about the look & feel of my new Forum.

Any useful criticism is very welcome.


Kind regards

Great idea. I have bookmarked your site and already learnt alot. Thanks

You are welcome

Looks nice, simple, and professional... very nice.

The smiley names appear to be in German, was that intentional?

No it is not.
I am German and installed the German Version of vB before I noticed, that there is an English Version available also ;)

I am trying to correct this soon

Sort of confused. Your site explains your an adsense expert, but your site is void of adsense?

Its sort of like a golf instructor, who doesnt own golf clubs. Or a vegetarian who sells meat. LOL

There are actually several reasons for not displaying Adsense or even Ads in general on this site.

1. The community is new and plastering a site with Ads that is new drives people away easily
2. The community is targeted to Adsense Publishers and Webmasters. Webmasters and Adsense Publishers are people who are generally not clicking on Ads, most of them even use Ad-Blocking Software
3. The site name contains Adsense which is a trademark by Google and even though I did not confirm this yet several Webmasters reported that their site was blocked from Adsense due to containing Adsense in its name

Before I would start displaying Adsense Ads on my site I would contact Google if it is ok with them.
For that however I want my site to become an authority site first to increase the chances of being allowed to do so.

The main purpose of this site is to gather knowledge which is on the long run more beneficial then a few bucks.
But this is only because I have several other projects generating money for me so I am not dependent on the income from this website.

I have several other websites that are monetized by Adsense and I am doing quite well with it ;)

Any more feedback?

New version of my AdSense Integrations for first and last post released after adapting
a small CSS "trick" suggested by one member of AdSenseExperts.com

Until 3 weeks ago the text of the first post started on the left side of the AD like this:

TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextTextTextTextT
TextTextTextTextTextTextT

I then changed that by utilizing a neat little CSS "trick" to make the text flow around the Ad like this:

TextTextTextTextTextTextT
TextTextTextTextTextTextT
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextText Ad Ad Ad
TextTextTextTextTextTextT
TextTextTextTextTextTextT

This small change increased my CTR over 300% and my eCPM over 350% for this Ad Unit
(stats comparison of a 12 days time period before and after the change)

That is what AdSenseExperts.com is all about.

And if you are using Version 1.0 I strongly suggest you UPGRADE! ;)

Good site, i like it .. let me give you my opinion based on the design aspect.. Your site is designed efficiently , but not attractive ... I like your use of colors but i gets boring very quick i understand is a webmaster forum.. but i would say to add an interesting background , that gray is just boring.. perhaps a gradient from top , or an image , take this site for example..

Another thing is i noticed , the huge REGISTER box.. it gets VERY annoying after the first page , you should consider only having it on the home page , and then add a smaller version on the rest of the pages... hmm like my site for example ( http://www.vbdesigners.com/forums/ )

You should consider a navigation for the site , to link to the most important and interesting parts of your website , BLOGS.. Videos... Resources... etc...

its a good site but it can be better.
