When I checked my Google Adsense report for yesterday, I saw a new optimization report for October! When clicking on it I was expecting some useful tips but like all other months it just showed me this peace of crap text:
Dear Publisher,
Here is your optimization report for the month of October. After an automatic review of your sites, we think you might be able to improve your monetization using the following tips:
You may be filtering ads that monetize well on your site.
I know that, I placed those sites in the filter myself ! Not a very useful report if you ask me and every month they send me the same text.
There is also something strange going on in Google. Almost every site of me is getting less pages indexed every week. 3 weeks ago my webmaster forum had indexed over 5,000 pages but currently it dropped to only 4,300 pages. Maybe they are deleting duplicate content links or something? I don’t know. This sure is a thing to watch though.
The directory network is gaining traffic and I also added my links sitewide to the dirs for some extra link power. I hope this will help getting my pages back indexed.
As you can see the ReviewMe button is removed. In the time I had it on the site I didn’t receive any orders as my readers expected
The blog is ready for a complete change I know. I better get that new design working and running asap!

I’ve had the same ‘tip’ for the past 3 months too. I’d rather have something useful which isn’t a generic ‘you’re filtering stuff’ sort of tip.

The directory network seems to be an interesting idea, good luck with it

Yeah, their optimization tips are garbage. Their tips would almost be better if they suggested that adsense users might try other contextual networks instead of Adsense.

The tips I get always tell me to always have 3 ads on every page.
Nice one brett.
