This afternoon I was checking out one of my new sites and it appeared H&R Block had hijacked the adsense blocks. How could this happen? The niche has nothing to do with finances or taxes. I also checked out some of my older sites and the same thing was happening. Boo!
Remedy: I went into all the adsense code and changed the parameter not to allow image ads, only to allow text ads. That appears to have taken care of it, but it was a bunch of work. I know now I should have set it up this way in the first place and will from now on.
In the process of fixing this, I also cleaned up a lot of the html on my pages and improved the SEO ‘on page’ stuff. It kept me from getting anything else done, but was very productive. Maybe some of these sites will start producing a little better now.
One thing I have done is redesign all the sites I initially made with Instant Adsense Templates. I think I’ve said it before, but buying those now feels like a huge waste of money. I know I’m getting off on a better foot if I design the sites from scratch and that’s what I’m doing. That’s one benefit of XSitePro that I really appreciate. Setting up the page layout is a piece of cake and there’s tons of room for creativity too.
That’s all for now. Stay warm!
