Since my site hit no. 1 in the SERPS, Adsense CTR is down 80%?!
- SEO |
My site starts to Dance, disappears for almost a month, then reemerges in the no. 1 slot - imagine my joy! Traffic doubles at least, for the same kwp, but... CTR is waaaaaay down, like, single figures! Basically I will be lucky to make the same as I was in the no. 4 slot!
What gives? Anyone else have that experience?
OK, I did make some small changes to the page so it looked a little less like an Xfactor, and I am going to try different tweaks to the layout to see if I can improve things again.
But I wonder if there could be any other explanation?
- maybe there are more non-buyers visiting the no. 1 ranking site (i.e. more junk traffic)? At no.4 I was pressed up against the shopping results - maybe that was actually BETTER, because it got the attention of the buyers!
- maybe I am showing less relevant ads for some reason - hard to tell, it's UK traffic I am interested in and I am not in the UK to test it. But haven't changed the content that much, so doubt it.
Anyone got any similar experience/simpler explanation?
