Using Display Ads and its Relation with March Core Update
I have just watched 2 to 3 case studies about the latest Google Core update and found that most of the sites hit by it are either sites making money with AdSense or with affiliate links. I literally saw no sites selling their own products or services get hit, nor did an e-commerce site see a huge decline.
Even when i saw google publishers page in which they featured top blogs generating income with google adsense and when i analyzed their traffic, almost everyone of them saw either a heavy decline in this core update, or a gradual decline since the last one. Remember, these are not random publishers; they are the top of the cream as only the top .1% of the sites out there were featured in the stories sections of the Google Ads publishers page, and they were still hit by the core updates. In contrast, on the other side, even average sites with no ads or affiliates have witnessed a huge positive return since the November Google update.
I understand that Vignette ads are causing issues because they are literally against Google guidelines (yes, even though AdSense offers them, they are against Google search guidelines). However, these sites use just 1-2 ads per page, all placed in content and still getting hit.
