Hello Guys, I have a Blog (shown in my signature), basically an Entertainment Portal sorta thing. Primarily dealing with Sports Entertainment. The rest of the categories, posts, topics are just fillers. I am really unhappy with the Google Adsense Earnings for the Amount of traffic Uniqies I get. I get around 6000 - 10000 Visitors easily everyday. When I look at the Earnings its hardly $6 or $7 for some 60 - 100 Clicks. Damn Irritating. Where has all the money gone for all the Clicks. Why are they so low paying. I show one banner in links containing live streams and the 2 other as you see in the side bar. Has it got to do something about the design Has it got to do something about the ad placement. Are there any Good Pay Per Display/Impression programs that can fetch me good money. Regards, Hemanth
You cant really improve the CPC since the entertainment is low pa niche, play around with your ads placement to increase your CTR (1% still consider low). And get more traffic, that's what you can do
I agree...!! You need to change ad position...Place one 250X250 ads between post...It will give you great revenue. Hope it can you good result.
Your earning are roughly the same as mine with same type of blog and traffic. Unfortunately that's the way it goes with celebrity/news niche
It's not about traffic, or unique traffic... it's about advertisers willing to spend money and your ability to target niches that offer a good return. You can't blame Adsense. You have to look at your own skillset and what you have created. Why would an advertiser spend money to be on your blog?
What do you mean do not blame adsense I do. I have a humor site which now i am using adbrite I noticed a lot of image adds are the same adsense was paying about a penny to a nickel and yet at at adbrite those same image adds are a paying anywhere from 10 cents to a quarter and the cpm are not a penny got up to 15 cents. Yes I blame adsense
it sounds good BUT it requires that the visitor clicks twice. If they click on the link units you don' t earn a cent, only if they select some of the results. it has been shown that many just goback or close their windows. I have completely removed the link units from my sites.
My suggestion -- shop for direct advertisers as opposed to using AdSense. I've tried this and it has worked wonders.
The niche which you selected belongs to entertainment category! thats why your earnings lowered down your earnings can boosted with increase in traffic
Work seriously on your design and try to specify valuable keywords. You have pretty good traffic by the way!
