Optimizing your AdSense ads is an important factor to increase revenue. Google offers a simple scorecard called “AdSense Scorecard” to show your site’s performance on three parameters:
- Multi-screen
- Site health and
- Revenue optimization
Analyze the scorecard and take appropriate actions to ensure the possibility of getting more revenue from your AdSense ads.
AdSense Scorecard
1. Multi-screen Optimization
Google calculate this score based on the compatibility of your pages on multiple screens like mobile and desktop devices. The percentage of multi-screen optimized pages is compared with the percentage of other AdSense publishers thus making it a comparative score rather than an individual score. Optimizing a page for multi-screen enables better user experience especially on mobile screens and increases the possibility of getting more revenue.
Any update on optimizing pages for multi-screen will be reflected within 3 days in your scorecard.
How to Improve Multi-screen Optimization Score?
- Check your site in multiple resolution and screens and ensure the content is projected appropriately.
- Set a mobile redirect to inform crawlers that you have separate sites for mobile and desktop users.
- Google recommends building your site with multi-screen optimized vendors like GoDaddy, Weebly, Wix, Web, etc.
Ensure to have all redirected sites are under same domain. For example, if example.com is your desktop site then mobile.example.com shall be a mobile site instead of mobile.mysite.com.
2. Site Health Optimization
Site health section is divided into two categories – one for mobile and other for desktop based on the PageSpeed Insights performance.
Google calculates this score based on the logic of delivering a page within a second on mobile devices. It may take up to 7 days for any changes in your site to be reflected in the scorecard. The page with highest number of ad request is used for this analysis and you will see the URL of the page analyzed in this section.
