Senserely Questions And Suggestions

adsense | questions | senserely

I read somewhere that the help section was wiped out, so maybe the answers were there, but I had a couple questions that I think may others interested in Senserely might want to know.

- I saw on the front page that “You could have made an additional USD xxx.xx in your AdSense earnings today!” where does this number come from?
- What’s the Most Emailed list?
- Our ads get shown 80% on our posts (I think), which means that you get 20%. Why do you have all these other ads which we get no part of?
- What are the keywords used for?

Also I’ve been thinking about put more emphasis on Senserely posts, so I had a few suggestions.

- Restore the help section.
- There’s no way to track how well my posts are doing. Could you add some sort of hit counter?
- I also wanted to know how often my impressions appear on the main page or on the pages of my affiliates (if I had any).

I’m sure there were more, but that’ll do. If I think of anything else I’ll add it as a comment to this post.

Already thought of a new one.

James, are you always logged on? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you off the list of Who’s online.

Hi, it must happen sometimes

Hi, it must happen sometimes that I’m not logged on, but most of the time yes, as I regularly check new posts, I have to do that to see if nothing bad happens.
I have two things to do: process new applications and check new content.

Let me answer the questions:
yes a hack from august 2006 wiped out lot of content and screwed some tables in the site, so some things don’t work anymore, others work strangely.

- the “you could have made” is a javascript, based on nothing other than the time of the day on your computer. I saw that on a sales page, I thought it was funny, I’ve set it up way back at the start of the site.
- yes 20% of display are for me. Other ads I know I feel guilty, especially about the kontera ones (contextual in the text) because I’ve put them back in february and it earned next to nothing, I’m waiting for it to reach a paying threshold and I’ll ditch them. Then there’s the allopass banner, which has not been very popular amongst advertisers. Then there’s the text link ads referral which I could share with members, and same goes for auction ads. I’m preparing a new site which mixes adsense and auctionads and will allow for members to have both publisher id. But I’ve been very slow on the creation.
- the keywords were used for generating new pages listing all blog posts tagged with the same keyword, but the host now generates a server error, I need to fix that as well as lots of other things, I think by moving host in a first step and then see what continues not to work.
- the counter on posts was requested and has been implemented a long time ago, but I had to remove it because of the database resources which are low on the host I’m using, I know it sucks and that it would be a motivator for members… well that’s life.
- thank you for your suggestion, I think they are good ideas, but it’s not very good to give them to me because I’m not going to implement them, I’m sorry but this is the truth, so far senserely is by far not my best earner, so I focus on other sites.
I’ll be doing the new one yes, but on a new host and hopefully things will be better than on senserely and if I get motivation back maybe I’ll fix senserely for good updating it, fixing the errors and working on increasing the traffic. But for now it’s just a side site, nice to have to read new content, often interesting, but I’m more focused at the moment on creating new sites without adsense sharing on them, because I’m not yet at my adsense daily earnings goal.

Cheers,
James
