Google definitely rewards landing pages without ads and it turns out, over 70% of my readers used ad block and i was really always doing 50K more uniques a month but they were blocking analytics and other things (tag manager) so they were ghost readers anyway...
without ads, google sends me a hell of a lot more traffic too
- avalys 6y agoWhat if you switch to Google Ads?
- supernovae 6y agoI was a google premium partner, they managed the ads...
- sp332 6y agoWhy did the ones using analytics blockers show up when you took ads off the page?
- supernovae 6y agoNo idea. I switched to cloudflare analytics and i'm getting real numbers without screwing with my readers privacy anymore so i'm happy... Firefox does goofy stuff to tag manager, lots of ad block blockers block analytics too and no script and stuff too.
