hello A while back i got banned by google due to abuse on my ads (multiple clicks) and they deamed my evidence that it was not me not enouff and my ban was still there. after taht i started an imagehosting site over att http://filefrog.net and have been working to get it recognised over the net, so far i managed to get about 1500-2000 Unique visitors daily and growing. right now im using adtoll.com for my advertising banners wich are on every page all over the site, im getting quite many view (around 5-7K) daily but only 1-2 clicks. im wondering if anyone can share with me a way to incresse the clicks ?
I have no experience in image hosting. Pls change the colour scheme of the domain. If you CTR is quite that means there is problem in add units, user might not see the add, or it might be irrelevant to you site's content.
there is nothing wrong with the colour for showing the ads etc, that bit i have already checked, however it's as you say the adds are irrelevant to you site's content because many other adcompanys i tryed never showed me any adds at all except their own logo with the reason "your site has no content" becuase i use a all white colour scheme like imageshack/speedyshare for faster loading. so i went with adtoll. however, im currently at a loss as what to do
Image hosting can be really hard to get people to click your links. 1. People normally only log onto the site for a few seconds, upload the picture copy the link and then just leave the site, the whole processes can take under 10 seconds and they are not really paying attention to the other items on screen. 2. Ads are not related to images, with ads you can normally make them so that they are relating the text on screen, well you can’t really do this with ads therefore most of them will not be appealing to your users. I don’t really know how you would get around this, you could try just selling banners to private people instead of using something like adsense.
Hello, I was having the same problem and found out image traffic is very hard to moneytize. I solved it using CPM and (Don't kill me video PPI. Hope this helps Cheers. Thibaut
ah, i se. is there any advertising company using CPM or is it someting i have to setup / manage manually? and video PPI, is that "pay per impression" video advertisings ?
Hi, friend Regarding CPM, many people use Adbrite which was my first choice. But when I realized they only pay by check, I shifted to Clicksor which pays with Paypal, which is easier for us european. PPI means Pay Per Install. Basically, you display a vid (mostly cute girls but not porn and if you want to watch the vid, you are prompted to install a small adware (but not spyware). You are paid for every successfull install, from $0.1 to $0.75 depending on the country. Regards Thibaut
i was just reading trough the Clicksor aggreement. "Participating Sites must not be a free hosting webpage or personal homepage." since my site is a free image hosting i guess i cant join?
Hi, They are talking about free pages you can get from your own ISP or from third party sites like geocities or pages.google.com. All my sites are free from charge and I was able to join them, so no problem about it. Caution, you must have at least 5000 UV to enter the program. Hophe this helps. Cheers. Thibaut
