    I have coloring gray hair made easy. I am exclusively on an iPhone since the new update. I don't have gray hair issues at this time.

    That stuff popped up out of our control. It blows and we're trying to see if we can get rid of it. Apologies for the clickbait in the meantime.

    One weird trick to increase advertising revenue!!! Google doesn't want you to know about it.

    Content is king... You paying attention to the metrics Dunfee?
    Bounce Rate 63.90% up 3.00%
    Daily Pageviews per Visitor 2.43 down 9.67%
    Daily Time on Site 3:49 down 11.00%

    Create more content and you should have no problem selling ads again? What happened you had an entire team to sell ads and create content (thats why you moved here, right) and now TGR is serving Google adds? Its about as lazy as it gets, ie you are having trouble selling the actual ad space.. Turns out I need a new cheap used car right??? I had to come to TGR to find that out though..

    Figure out how to integrate the actual website into the forums, aside from the sidebar as anyone under 40 doesn't pay much attention to that shit. You guys really have 2 very different products and people buying ads are surely aware or traffic to the actual site where your content lives vs forum.

    The irony is the affiliate program ya'll bailed on could easily have bought all those add units for hundreds of dollars a day.. Paid Placement has outdoor retailers competing against each other to be shown on publisher sites like yours and mine.

    Now lets talk SEO....
    Your current keywords are not likely to generate any organic traffic. Seeing the numbers above, you really want to focus on SEO. Same can be said for the website description, as is these is almost zero chance of getting any organic free natural traffic based on the current description alone. ie people are not searching for those terms...

    Do you really need 7+ ad spaces on the homepage. Also FYI you will get banned from Google if they catch you posting ads like articles. The BMC shit needs to say its an ad. Don't trick people to make money

    adblock origin... I cringe when I see the internet without an adblock. Android look in to gello mod and minminguard.

    not a good sign at all.. First of all Adsense is not a revenue driver. Secondly these ads spots should not be hard to sell. Even at a major discount it would drive circles around the money earned via Google Clicks. (google ads are lazy at best)

    The irony is we dropped the Avantlink program as ya'll bitched to much... remember your REI and Backcountry links that had a little code added to the end (your welcome) well that was easily a minimum 30k a month in revenue. A lot more had we got aggressive with it... Better yet you could sell the adspace to Backcountry.com and then make a commission every time someone made a sale through the banner. Double dipping 10-20% per sale..

    So guessing if you bitch enough (paging tgr420) they might change the ads up?

    Better yet, Todd give a ring and I can help dial this in for you....

    .. I wouldn't be in Jackson if this website never existed, I still have lot of love for the team. However what I am seeing does not look good on the digital side of things.. but what do I know, I run a fucking blog

    For someone with a web site you sure don't know shit about it.

    And BackCountry doesn't buy inventory, they just run through Criteo.

    um so your telling me BC and REI are not buying ads?

    I would like to invite you to see AvantLink's paid placement system that allows BC and REI and every other company to buy ads on publishers websites.
    http://support.avantlink.com/hc/en-u...Bidding-System

    If it weren't for ad dollars, I would not be sitting in my pajamas at 11:37am on a Thursday.

    But hey 6,000 post you must know something I don't or maybe this is my old kook boss Scott chiming in, if so go back to the bay area

    Oh, I don't know... I've only been working in internet advertising for the past 16 years. Yes, they run through affiliate shit... big fucking deal. Otherwise they buy retargeting through criteo. You dismissing Google AdX is hilarious and shows that you know how to monetize a very small site with very little traffic and don't understand the difference when there's real scale involved.
