Being on SSL prior to starting adsense, mine climbs every month... so SSL and adsense shouldn't be an issue.
Do not switch to SSL if you make your money from selling ads.
90% of all ads are not served using SSL. Even AdSense does not deliver all ads via SSL. This results in a "Secure Connection" warning shown to your users.
Currently the placement of externally delivered ads and SSL is not compatible with each other. Unfortunatelly.
Interesting I don't have that problem at all.We are running SSL and AdSense at one very small site only and experience non-ssl ad pictures delivered by AdSense very frequently. Some browsers then display a huge "Insecure Website" warnung to all users.
We'll not upgrade our other sites to SSL and do not recommend to use SSL with ad sponsored web sites at all.
Using AdSense and SSL is possible to use without problems only if you set your AdSense ads to be text only.
I got this issue with adsense ads that contains youtube videos.This results in a "Secure Connection" warning shown to your users.
That would explain it since i do not use rich media.. And actually have much better success with text ads only.. Although i serve both text and image..I got this issue with adsense ads that contains youtube videos.
Mike, did you actually see revenues and CPMs return to pre-SSL levels? I would be very interested in more data and information about your experience. @dethfire, I see you are still running SSL, what has happened since your last post?Yeah, if you been using SSL for more then a few hours, your pretty much forced to take a 2-3 month revenue loss.. It will pick back up..
Like???I am looking at other solutions.
Some important things to know about the SSL-compatible ad code:
- HTTPS-enabled sites require that all content on the page, including the ads, be SSL-compliant. As such, AdSense will remove all non-SSL compliant ads from competing in the auction on these pages. If you do decide to convert your HTTP site to HTTPS, please be aware that because we remove non-SSL compliant ads from the auction, thereby reducing auction pressure, ads on your HTTPS pages might earn less than those on your HTTP pages.

I recall hearing about an ad network that refused to implement SSL because it would, somehow, interfere with their targeting and tracking capabilities, but I don't really believe that.There has to be a reason for why it is the way it is, but we need a Google rep to respond.
The answer is usually money.There has to be a reason for why it is the way it is, but we need a Google rep to respond.
