may be i make more than 50 page reloads per day x 3 = 150 even if my impressions are 500 ! the total impressions were 7000 with 1 click only !!
yes, i have detailed user statistics but of course i can't know who made the click. sometimes i get a click for $3.23 and sometimes for $0.01 but i don't know which person make the first and which make the second.
i mean , visitors counter , not the adsense one, they will not tell u who made the click. Try to re-arange the adsense on ur site, and make them look friendly like they come from the design. As i said , the click earning depends on many factors, but the important one its the budget of the advertiser (the maximum they offer per click). have a good day.
eng. Next time, please only make one thread, it's very hard to try to discuss this succinctly when your answers and questions and information are scattered over at least three different threads.
they are not scattered .. every thread has its own discussion. here i am discussing that the first click is recieved after much impressions while at other threads i am talking about the variations of click rates and their reasons !
Believe it or not, they're all related. And as you see, both threads have taken the path towards site layout so now people are offering layout suggestions for you in at least two different threads.
its better if you talk deeply about the issues which i ask about ? did you check me forum ? if so, then i hope to hear from you your opinion about the ad colours and their placement.. check ads inside each thread also . Thanks,
I dont know why your all clicks here are so low ? Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Earnings AdSense for Content top channels 1 $2.35 1 click today and earn $2.35 . Adsense is the best , no one else come close to it !
First, it's a forum...as others have said here and in the other thread, forums are low raters. Second, on your home page, if most of your visitors are repeaters and are interested in the threads, to get them they have to scroll past the fold and there are no ads visible. People have nothing to click on. Third once you get into an actual thread the ads on the left look spammy and the ads (adsense) on top are subdued, the first turns people off from clicking, the second causes the more interesting ones to be ignored...your color scheme forces a person to deliberately try to read what it says rather than being able to look and see at a glance. Select colors that make the link of the ad stand out so people can read them. Alluded to in the first part, but placement...they look like they are thrown on rather than designed into the layout.
"first its a forum" > DP is also a forum and earns $10k / month about the ads colours,, i am not very good in choosing the appropriate colors so can you suggest me the best colors so that i try them and then see the results on the next day,, hoping that this really affects the number of clicks. and about the vertical ad, do you think that its better to remove it ?
Your forum is not DP The ads just look like they are thrown in in a haphazard fashion and do not complement the layout of the site. The answer may not be removing them, but at least repositioning them. As I said, on your first page, no one who has scrolled down to the actual forums (unless running at high resolution) is even going to see the ads. Most people who go to a forum go there to read the posts, so if most of those people scroll right past the ads to get to the posts, then clicks won't be many.
ok i know that my forum isn't DP. but at least i am using a better template and better options also DP is an old forum while my forums is 5 days old only I don't want to reach $1k/month starting from now .. i can wait for that for 4 months or so but i just hope to reach it not to work in no vain. about the ads placement, i think all what you are talking about is the vertical ad so you may recommend me to remove it.. but if i remove, where is the best place to add a new ad ? and which is better for my site, a text ad or a banner ad ?! as you see, i selected the colors so fast because i don't like selecting colors .. you see one on top in green and the vertical one in orange while inside threads in yellow ..
Learn patience and don't be in a hurry. Color is a vital factor and just doing it to get it over with is not the tact to take. Pretend you are not the owner of the site for a minute. Look at the pages as a regular visitor would. What do you see? What don't you see? Do the ads look enticing? Would _YOU_ click them? (Don't, obviously lol)
I am really patient. ok, if you say that i won't click them and so on. so what are the samples for ads that will be attractive for members and visitors and that match with my forum ? actually, i am not very good in selecting colors so i did them fast.
As I said, don't just do them to do them. Think about them. What looks appealing to you? Look at your site through the eyes of a visitor.
actually, i must do them fast because its not the only factor which affects, there are keywords too so there are many factors which i must solve in order to get : 1-more clicks & 2- higher rate per click may be i can solve the issue of keywords.. but i think its hard for me to select the best colors or the best ads placement !!
Forums are very very hard to set up successfully. And I highly doubt you will be successful because You are all about the money You have no real plan You are inexperienced
