Is there any reason to consider using adsense on my website. I have heard it may slow down the site. Also, that it can be intrusive and people can be turned off from it.
<

if you have an info only site - so posts with no affiliate links in....
loads of tutorials then one of the ways you can monetise this type of site is via ads....
i did this on my 3d printing site for a while until adsense needed photo id and i don't possess any....
but this will only be done when you have loads of visitors....
and yes it does slow down pagespeed
and you really need to add the adverts yourself rather than auto ads...
i have skipped away from sites where every other paragraph there are ads - no matter how much i want the information....

Or it may not, but you can always let us know.

Thank you. I appreciate your astounding update.

Abie

I don’t have enough traffic to make it worth it

All right! Thank you for the update.

And sorry to hear.

Abie

But I'd keep rocking!

I am confident you'll do just great.

All the best.

Abie

I am doing a lot now but not as much as you. Remember those New Year’s resolutions you published? Are you managing to do all of them Abie?

I don't believe in them lol (NYR)

Abie

I am surprised Abie

Don't.

Abie

I hope that answers your question.

Hi Mark

You need quite a bit of traffic to make money with Adsense. I have it on my site and it doesn’t slow it down. I configured it manually so the display ads are not intrusive.

Frank 🎸

I actually do the exact same thing. If configured manually it should not be intrusive.

Hey Denis!

How is everything going? Hope you had an awesome summer.

Keep On Rockin’ It! 🤘

I am thinking it makes no sense to do Adsense if purpose of site is to promote products. The ads will cause people to leave. I also find them super annoying when I see ads on websites

Unless you have masses of content.

Oh lol!

It was mentioned elsewhere you didn't have enough traffic, lol.

Abie

I had a lot of traffic today when I was traveling to my office

Oh yeah! I do believe that.

Good luck managing; I'd hire a Heli to get from A to B if it were me.

A colleague of mine wanted to buy a Transition to get to his work. He put a deposit on it

Then again, flying cars are available nowadays.

Go into the html when you log into your back office. You can find the html view option on the right side of the screen when you edit your page. Actually, maybe just get site support to do it.

Why would you want to add ad sense? they dont pay well and in fact their ads slow your site down that was my experience! Poor ad experience -Ad sense is not worth it. There are better ads that pay better one of them is Ezoic ads and a few others. Many people complain about how ads are intrusive that is why I do not have them on my site at all. Some ad networks require you to have high traffic inpressions. Best way for you to learn is to find out yourself. You will see. Best wishes to you.

You are so right, Brenda! Unless you have tons of content.

Thank you for your feedback.

Abie

you can do it through Google site kit plugin

To do it with the code above you have to ask site support to do it for you

yes, I did it through google site plug in. I applied to Adsense and then it says to get my website ready I need to put a smippet code in between the two <head> tags for each post on my website. I am looking for guidance on how to do that. It asks me to select done once I do that for it to proceed

If you ask site support for assistance with adding the code, they are very fast to get it added and have you ready for your next step in set up.

I hope this is helpful.

Stacie

Thanks,

Brenda just suggested not to put these ads because they slow the site down and are intrusive. What is your and other's experience with this? perhaps I will not do it

I don't use AdSense, mostly because they would not approve my websites that promote hemp and CBD. Then I heard all the bad experiences with it and was glad that they denied me lol.

I think adsense is only a good option if you have huge traffic with nothing to sell or affiliate with.

I've added a couple of training lol

I hope you're doing great, Stacie! And it is always good to see you.

Abie

I am doing well, thanks Abie, always good to see you too

That's really fab, Stacie! I am superbly happy for you.

Abie

I do not want the commend box for my About Me and privacy policy pages. How can I change that? I recall there was a training on this but I cannot find it. Thanks

Easy.

Precisely, as mentioned by Eric.

Quick Edit, do/undo comments option, click update.

I hope you were able to manage it.

From your list of posts just hover over the post you want to remove commenting from and select Quick Edit. From there uncheck the “allow comments” box 👍🏼

Thanks Eric! I actually went to quick edit and didn’t see that little box to uncheck to remove comments until you just pointed this out to me

No prob! Quick edit is the go to for turning comments on and off. A simple tick box slightly hidden away 👍🏼


To Disable Comments on Specific Pages

Go to Dashboard
Navigate to Pages > All Pages.
Click on the page where you want to disable comments.
You need to find the screen option
Screen Options:
In the top right corner of the page editor, click on Screen Options.
Ensure that the Discussion checkbox is checked. This will enable the Discussion settings below the page editor.

Disable Comments:
Scroll down to the Discussion section.
Uncheck the box that says Allow comments.

Update the Page:
Click the Update button to save your changes.

when I click on screen options this is what I get:

This is when I click on pages. I did not click edit for the specific page. I tried that but could not find anywhere to disable the comment option.

what am I doing wrong?

That's controls of how you'd like pages/posts tabs displayed.

You can tick or untick options and see how the page or posts tabs play out.

Please keep us updated on your progress.

In the training it recommends only putting in affiliate links after you have a certain number of posts. So I recently launched an mmo website to primarily promote WA. I didn&rs

As mentioned in the comment below, you may want to marinate your posts in the search engines before you turn them into commercial intent.

That I would do.

Abie

Marinating just sounds so yummy

It is. You'd be leveraging and profiting at such an exponential rate, lol

Hi Markh613,

I've asked the same question before, and I've been pondering over this for some time too.

Well, I came across this link: I hope it helps.

- Makinde

Thanks but I was not inquiring about google adsense

Ah! That's an outstanding share here. Congrats.

Abie

Yes it is but when I asked I was referring to my website getting indexed, which I think it has

Perfect.

Abie

if you can i would renmove the links for now - google will then see your site as an info site and maybe classify it differently...
then when you get an audience start adding relevant links for the posts that are gaining traction...

👍

Hi Mark

Theoretically, it’s ok to put your WA affiliate links in your posts since you are pre-approved as a WA affiliate.

It’s hard to say what Google is doing these days regarding indexing new sites. Most likely, you should be ok, but Google may view your site as “money making” with affiliate links and only five posts, which will adversely affect their ranking.

Frank

So you think that if I remove the links and edit until I do another 10 posts or so and then add the links might end up having my site ranked higher once google indexes my site?

These days getting posts ranked for a new site on the first three pages of Google has become much more challenging.

I would build your brand by publishing on a variety of online user generated content platforms pointing back to your site before adding affiliate links.

Just my opinion.

I hear your point. But do you think it will prevent my website from getting indexed ?

My guess would be that your site will get indexed by Google.

You may want to get your posts marinated in the search engines before you turn them into commercial intent.

That I would do.

Abie

Yup, totally!

However, that's beside the point.

Thank you for your feedback.
