Update 2 – They actually changed the pricing table on site and showed their TOC. This was a really positive development. 5 Stars to the team for understanding the problem and acting on a long term solution.

Thanks and Respect!

Update. I have been asked to “adjust” the review in return for refund.

I have made a simple request. You show your true refund policy below pricing table. That it is NOT 100% money back guarantee. Rather there are TOC attached to the refund policy. If that is done, i will gladly take the review down. Otherwise it stays. They can have my $69.

This is just wrong. I would not have bought the plugin if i had read that there are conditions attached to refund. Dont do such wrong things in a beautiful community like WordPress.

I Say you go pro mate ?? Launch a pro version and many will support because wordpress is just so difficult to optimize! By going pro you can outsource support or get more motivation to work on this plugin.

Thanks

For that logical response itself i have changed the rating to 4 star instead of 1 star.

I will wait for the update because even in my case, more then 14000 images are there.

@bernardklock – Doesnt look like nofollow is added to the plugin. Or should i be looking for an update to hit?

Ok. It does work with guest checkouts.

Beautiful plugin. I will buy the pro version just to support u. Keep developing.

Thanks and Regards

Adsense is not allowed in PWA. There goes my opportunity to start giving PWA to my readers.

it is not only about earnings, how do i STOP showing ads on the PWA if they are already displaying on mobile? And ultimately, if PWA is running then i would like to monetize it.

it seems, PWA is a silver lining and neither ADMOB or ADSENSE is able to monetize it. More on this discussion here

So i think u guys will have to take this into consideration and possibly work out Admob integration in the future so that ad bloggers are able to monetize.

Just a quick question on this @josevarghese

If the plugin gets integrated with onesignal in version 1.6, then will the user have to subscribe separately for the PWA and for the onesignal push notifications? or will the integration happen at the backend once he downloads PWA?

Meaning, if he downloads PWA and has ignored push notification prompt, will he still get push notifications?

Looking forward to your feedback. I have never used onesignal but a friend recommended that PWA without push notification means half the traffic!

I am very happy to see the plugin authors offer support. And i am now very disappointed with myself because the reason was so trivial!

I tried your plugin in the staging version of the site. Loved it. It integrated well on my mobile. But because it was the staging version, i had kept my adsense plugin disabled because i did not want unnecessary views to adsense.

And i thought that it was your plugin not supporting adsense! Foolish of me ??

Thanks a lot for the feedback. And yes – the plugin is very good and hassle free. The “Hassle free” part is the main focus for bloggers who get good traffic! All the best to you guys.

I did not optimize the HTML. I saw drop in earnings whenever optimizing HTML and when using WP Quads.

So i only optimized the JS and CSS. Ensure u have excluded all the plugins related to WP quads.

Hii. Are you also optimizing HTML?

I never optimized HTML when using WP quads / quick adsense plugin. I used to optimize JS or CSS. But i never touched the html.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes. the ads are indeed loading very well.

Yes. Even i use Genesis + Kinsta + Keycdn. Speed wise there is no problem at all.

I personally think google will stop supporting AMP in some time. There are reports all across the web that AMP is not giving much earnings in terms of clickable ads. Let us not forget – Google is predominantly an Advertising company. I dont see google products bringing in as much revenue as advertising. So google itself will see the results of AMP and might not push it.

If AMP was successful, google would have already made it a ranking factor. Just like it is pushing https as a ranking factor. But frakly, many people have vocally opposed AMP including top SEO’s and I have seen my links drop down in search traffic and many of my competitors are NON-AMP. Which is surprising. Thats why the thought process.

Yup. I think the old tried and tested method of removing the plugin and then doing a 301 redirect sounds perfect. That would be the best method because it has worked well for many people. Will continue with that.

Yes. We are talking of clickable ads. And the performance is not on mobile vs amp. It is desktop vs mobile. As i said, mobile pageviews are driving 10% of the revenue even though they are driving 40% or more of the traffic. Thats a big difference.

So i want to remove AMP and try my normal theme. Can you explain why i will regret this decision? My normal theme is genesis and i have the site very fast (which is needed if i want to compete with AMP).

No, i am not using Mobile redirection.

I have added AMP for ads extension and i am currently showing 3 ads on the AMP site. In prominent positions with regular differentiation in ads. But no success with many different ad formats and positions.

The problem is, my desktop earnings are 85% of the site and the mobile earnings are just 10%. But pageviews wise, desktop has 50% of the pageviews and mobile has 50%. Do note that i earn at least 4 figures and sometimes 5 from advertising so we are talking of significant percentages. 10% here and there is big.

Even when i remove AMP, mobile version of the website might generate lesser revenues as compared to destkop. But i am targeting around 25% revenue of the website.
