Hello everyone, I've been blogging for a few months now and I've seen some traffic on my website, particularly during a recent Google update where it was performing well. My site even received approval for AdSense. Unfortunately, my website's traffic plummeted due to some toxic backlinks, causing my posts to be removed from search engine rankings. I have since used the disavow tool to address the issue, but it has been a month and I'm wondering if it actually works. If it does work, how long does it typically take to see results? I'm also unsure if my website will be able to recover from this setback, or if I should consider selling it. If recovery is possible, what steps can I take to help facilitate that process? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
It is highly probable that the issue is not related to toxic backlinks, but rather to the implementation of AdSense on the website. AdSense can negatively impact website traffic by causing a higher bounce rate and lower average session time. Google prefers websites where visitors spend significant time engaging with content. The presence of ads can shorten user interaction with the content, leading to decreased user engagement. It might be beneficial to consider removing AdSense from the website and monitoring traffic for potential recovery. If recovery is possible, it could take up to two to three years to see results.
