I run an arcade site and it currently generates around 3000 - 4000 uniques per day. I'm only making around $5 - $7 per day with about four of their advertisements on each page. Is this a fair amount? How much are you making with VCM?
its fully depend on your visitor country, $5-$7 for dominant asian traffic is a relative high revenue you've got.
For the banner, it's 0.17% Skyscraper, 0.11% Popunder, 1.97% Medium rectange, 0.49% I'm gonna guess that is not too good?
im not a big fan of value click, i mean their pay is great. Who doesnt love a bunch of money? The part that i dislike is the people who work there. I got banned for "Pornographic Material" while at that time i had women in bathing suits on my personal site. lol they served ads which were more provocative than the images on my site. So i deleted everything they wanted off, reapply make it in...then after everything is gone i still get banned, and im not told the reason. That is the bad end of ad networks, when they blow off publishers like that. That incident brought me into this industry, i have been doing great since then. Again not a big fan.
Everyone seems to be saying their pay rate is great, and I'm sure it is. But I'm wondering if my stats are normal or is it lower than normal.
What kind of web site do you have? Let's start there... 3-4k unique is pretty good but that could mean nothing if your web site is about an industry value click media has no ads in... The normal funds you make at VCM with 3-4k uniques/day is around 10-13$ but it is a new year and VCM is always slow at the beggining of each year...maybe in 2-3 months your daily average might creep up, but this depends on a lot of things. Your CTR %'s are below average so you might have to change things around, a new layout? Less ads? Something...and see how it helps.
