AdSense PSA Ads - They're Back!

Friday, November 16, 2007

Those pesky Public Service Announcements (PSA) from AdSense have taken over my dog blog, DoggieNews.

They only seem to show up on the homepage, and on the archive pages. On the permalink pages, AdSense displays paid ads.

Since the homepage generates a big percentage of page views, I'm losing a lot of money by having the PSAs show up. And it was only recently that they began displaying, probably only a week ago. For the longest time, PSAs never showed up there.

You won't actually see PSA ads on my dog blog right now because I've replaced them with a back-up set of ads, which is actually Yahoo Publisher ads. But my experience with Yahoo Publisher shows that it pays less than AdSense. So, I'd rather figure out why PSAs are suddenly showing when they didn't used to.

I think the reason why is because there's been recently a reduction in ads for the words, "dog" and "dogs". It used to be these keywords generated a bunch of ads on Google's SERPs. The PSAs are showing up simply because what few advertisers are remaining for these keywords have may have blocked their ads from AdSense.

I'm going to try to replacing the META keywords with more lucrative ads like "dog training", or "puppy training". I'll let you know if that fixes it.

  • AdSense is showing at your homepage right now... It seems that it's hard for AdSense bot to identify theme of your blog, you need more content, that's why you get PSAs...

    I've also have blog about AdSense earning: Welcome to AdSense Sensation! Thank you for the possibility to comment.

  • Robert, that is not a PSA ad, that's called a "Site Ad", it's paid on a CPM, versus a CPC.

    Note that the ad is for "Money Making Revolution", and advertises an income program for website publishers. That's not quite a Public Service Announcement.

  • Steve, can you see the name of the post? It is ""AdSense PSA Ads - They're Back!""

    And, really, Site Ads much better than PSAs, especially when you have tons of traffic! :)

  • Yeah, agree. Proper keywords helped me to increase traffic and earnings. I choose my keywords through http://www.keylords.com software, and only after a week my traffic and earnings were tripled ;)
    I now believe that balance between keyword popularity and price is the secret to high profit.
