My blog that used to make me decent money has all of a sudden become barren, I still get similar traffic, yet not making as much.

Can someone please tell me what I am now doing wrong.

The "Investment Accountants" on my signature takes you to the blog. Thanks folks in advance.

    All you care about is the money and not your readers/visitors with these ugly Made For Adsense (MFA) sites... so why do you expect long term profits/benefits?

    Your blogs are absolutely garbage. Don't be surprised if Adsense bans you.

    Edit: your site's visitor bounce rates must be very high .. meaning; less clicks, less money. so its not surprising you are earning less

      How do you mean by gabage? I put in quality contents in there, all I did was to install new theme last week when I noticed the money has stopped coming.

      You are right about the bounce rate but I know why it is relatively high.

      Well, thanks for the candid coment.

        When I read: "Getting accounting job as a fresh graduate accountant with no experience is one of the most difficult challenge that you must deal with when you newly finish your university or other higher education study," I do not think "quality contents."

      Thanks, I will try and reduce the ads, I only followed the adv of some members in this forum to use CTR Theme.

      edit: I still have readers, my only concern is that the site no longer convert as before.

        if they are not converting it could just be they are not being served the right ads - maybe you can try some better self targetting ie, get some cpa offers on there and earn money in a different way rather than adsense clicks

          Ok, I will try and get some cpa offers. Just that am not so confident on how to go about it, any suggestion?

            Well, since you asked what I mean, I will elaborate: Just 2 descriptions out of many that fits a "garbage site".

            description of a garbage site: visitors clicks the red x button on their browser or they click on the "back button" without reading the content your site.

            description of a garbage site 2: a site created primarily with the intention of making money and not serving the end user... resulting in an ugly site that is not visually appealing.

            even worse you are now using the dreaded CTR theme... this theme has been responsible for getting a lot of people's Adsense accounts banned. Change it ASAP :p

            also you need a "Privacy Policy Page" to remain complaint with Adsense, which I have not seen on your site.

            Good and appealing content: text, videos and pictures... NOT just walls of text!

            Not hating on you bro, showing you tough love! lol ...

            My site's average visitors staying time: over 2 mins, looks beautiful and appealing AND converts... these are the kind of sites that are not "garbage sites". Anyway, maybe it's just me because i have high standards..

            ughh anyway, i hope you heed my advice. carry on

              Thanks for taking your time to give this constructive advice. I will defo make out time to put into action all that am learning from these replies. Please keep them coming.

    What was the CTR when you were running the ProSense theme? What's the CTR now on the CTR theme?

    I wouldn't call that quality content, I can look at one of your article pages & know that your counting keywords, example this page has a keyword density of 2.05% which is what most word counters on this forum keep telling people to use. Stop keyword stuffing, it looks fake.

      The CTR was a lot higher at the initial stage, then started coming down, which was the reason I decide to switch to CTR theme
      As for the keyword thing, I don't even know you count keywords, that might be a coincidence.

      Thanks for the constructive view point.

      I noticed the keyword stuffing as well. Cool it before G slaps you if they haven't already. Get someone to proof read your content, I notice a lot of grammatical errors even in titles, that will turn someone away fast. Others have already touched on the theme as well as ads. Good luck to you.

    I think the issue is the design, not the content. Keep up with the content but maybe make the design more like those typical finance bloomberg/etc websites

    Looks like an MFA site, not surprised.



    could also be about smart pricing, but I doubt it would reach that criteria.

    Remember, as I told this many times here: there is NO any special magic or trick regarding theme choice in WP that will get you higher CTR. And all of this so called "high CTR" themes are pure bullshit. I tried them all and none of them hasn't raised my CTR a bit.
    Only way you can raise your CTR is testing, testing and more testing.
    And don't you think that changing the theme caused you to drop your CTR? Since you filled up your site with ads only, this is not good at all.

    Reducing ads will reduce profits even more.

    There is no quality content there, and I shouldn't say it,
    but if I were google, I'd ban your adsense in a heartbeat.

    Your site exists for no reason than to be filled with junk,
    spam junk, that serves no purpose, answers no questions,
    and helps nobody.

    But then, you have sites like a lot of people here have.

    They scratch their heads too.

    Man, that is one terrific domain...

      hehe, the domain you refered to is one of such names that you use to try one or two things out. If you think I havent answered any question on the blog I asked for suggestion, then ask thousand of people that send me emails on a daily basis with a problem that needs to be resolved which I never post on the blog. Anyways, thanks for the comment.

    Change the theme, loose the ads frenzy and then study/analyze your visitors behavior.

    Act like you never made any revenue from the website and try to build it almost from scratch but showing a bit more love to the human factor this time.

    Yea It maybe something just as simple as content. Sometimes your readers are looking for something new with your blog. So I would say try to create some new and better quality content.
