    2 Years with Adsense and still not making money! Why is that?
    I try to make sure I use enough keywords to be listed.
    I have placed the ads in the right spots yet nothing!
    I do my bit of networking to spread my site
    And still nothing!

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks
    I have set a goal to earn $500 this month and I have yet to earn $50.00!

    ^^^ Do you get enough traffic on your sites??
    I think you need to get some good traffic to earn more via adsense. :)

    Just check out how frequently the keywords targeted by you are used for daily search...Accordingly optimize you site for that keywords considering the competition in mind...

    I thought that keywords are what brings traffic to your site.
    What else can I do to bring traffic?

    Also, I have micro niche finder - but frankly I don't understand how the thing works because it gives me all sorts of varied keywords.

    Any suggestions on bringing traffic would be great. Because I need to meet my target if I don't want to get discouraged.

    Currently, I am tweeting, email signatures, keywords to raise awareness.

    Thanks

    KEYWORD SEARCHES: I searched for "kale" at spacky.com
    And google came up with 823,000 searches. Is this good or bad? Should the number be higher or lower?

    Thanks

    I thinks for me .. Before you even begin your site, make sure you've come up with a topic that you feel you know plenty about. That way it will be easiest to write a lot of content.

    The more content you have, the better chance you have getting accepted into the program. Also, the more content, the greater the earning potential. AdSense is nothing but a numbers game. If you want to make a lot of money, prepare to write a lot of content.

    Just advertise your site everywhere. :)
    Join some forums and put your site in your sig link.
    Yahoo answers are also good if you need traffic. :)

    To earn more just be patient.

    have a check list like these :

    1.is your blog getting traffic ?
    2.is the CPC good?
    3.is the SEO done ?

    see where you are making mistakes.The main problem might be in the niche selection.I know many people make quick cash through tv shows sites.so you can do that way to keep yourself out of frustration.making good money will also make you more energetic.

    I hope you chose a niche of which you have interest and good knowledge anout;-)

    I spent so much time trying to create something of which i had no knowledge, interest and definately not much fun doing.

    I know that earning is the point in case, but it can only yield so much frustration if you do something with which you cannot flex your creative muscle. This is really oweful as all you will be doing is sourcing content.

    Listen once i discoverd this secret, i took a turn and my productivity sky rocketed. I have not yet made so much cash, but am content it will come. however, i have done the most fulfilling part, to get my interest on the move beeing driven by enthusiasm, i get new ideas daily, even the resaerch gets easier.

    You can do this, it's not that hard:)

    1) get your interest or experience in order make up your mind what you want to tell people (your market/ trget audience) about it
    2) search the market to see what your competitors are offering -trust me at this point your flames of passion will have kicked in, and you will be flooded with brilliant ideas. What am i saying? this will cause you to determine weather you have something to offer that will trigger the interest of your target market: that's it!
    3) Brainstorm the niche for killer headlines, subheadlines and start writing telling people about it - seek to educate, entertain, encourage, support, etc
    SticK them up on your website as content articles (try to edit, proof reading and tailoring to suit the language of your market, but dont dwell on this so much as it will get better and better daily - new ideas)
    4) Proceed to pulish your articles - Goarticles.com is a God-send. Thanks to Angela Edwards Who gave me this advice on Goarticles.com
    Lastly start marketing your website using verious methods.

    The above wont take you ages, but doing something that does not interest you, later on have no knowledge of will take you a months to figure out, and the limitations will go on the increase, causing you pluck all the hair on your head until you go bold.

    On the other hand doing something intersting makes it easier to market and to get all creative for - i cannot stress this point further - i hope this helps:)

    Really? At cheznaz.com I have a banner at the top a 468x60.
    And at successful-at-home.com I have a banner in the posts and 1 on the sidebar and 1 on the footer.

    I thought adsense doesn't allow more than 3 banners per page.
    I can add a 2nd one at cheznaz.com where my twitter bird is.

    Thanks everyone for you responses. It seems I just need patience.

    I have settled for a topic that I am most interested in - i.e. fitness and self improvement.
    I can write articles after articles over the weekend so I need to concentrate on that - obviously.

    I will check out goarticles.com - and I absolutely love the suggestion of "killer headlines" - I think I will work on that and hope to improve.

    Thanks again y'all --- very much!
    :eek:)

    If you haven't already, sign up for google analytics or a similar traffic analyzer. If no one is going to the site, you won't see any adsense revenue.
