Hi! Out of my eight websites, I think that http://www.chaostrivia.com is by far the coolest. Took me thousands of hours to make this one. The problem is, However, it is the least profitable! 250 UV/day, 25% of which are regular returning users. The UV/day graph increases at about 20% every month. The traffic is on a clear uptrend, which is expected to continue. 1109 signups in 6 months! The adsense is barely clicked and I don't know how to monetize this one. February income was just 30$. For comparison, another website of mine which was much easier to build, http://www.hebde.org, A german-Hebrew dictionary, makes over 200$/month. (450 UV/day), and I have even more profitable ones. Any ideas how to make some more $$ from this cool website? Cheers and thanks Moshe
Hello You can try posting in forums where people go to when they are bored. It will give them something to do. You can probably post on Craigslist and directories for quizzes.
In my personal opinion of viewing your website for the first time, I would try to integrate those ads a bit differently. I steer away from them straight away as soon as I look at your site. They need to be more involved in your content. Closer to key parts? Just my two cents.
Hey. The traffic is not a problem. Its a nice traffic for a trivia website, where the competition is deadly. The traffic increases. People sent emails to friends and invite them. The problem is that the ads are not incentive to click on. >> low relevance (no content on pages), and the site is fun, people don't want to get out. I have a user average time onsite of 7:02 minutes! that's huge. I monitor everything. People take 10,000 questions a day, and all this traffic clicks the ads barely 1-10 times. What I've learned from my websites and DP is the following: if you want to make adsense $$, you have to make a terribly boring website, but one that gets a lot of traffic. Then the users land, get bored, and click their way out.
The only reason why people click on ads is because they need them. If your visitors are contented with reading your blog, then they have no reason to click your ads no matter how you invite them. As I have seen your blog, I suppose you are entertaining your visitors very well. The contents seem to be interesting to read, which make your visitors ignore the ads.
Like someone above me said, try to integrate them differently. Also much of your click trough rates matter on your design (your design needs to be improved), i can make you a better design for free, just pm me
Maybye adsense isnit the way to go. You could try networks like maxbounty and put up banners for IQ quizzes, win iPods etc. That might fit in better with your audience and add some more color.
You likely serve a ton of pageviews/unique-- and those users are focused on a small window in the center of your content. They refresh for a new trivia question, and ignore the ads to the top and the left. They learn that they are ads after the first impression-- so why would they click on them after answering a few trivia questions? Will they even look at those ads after answering a few? Likely not. The answer? Integrate the ads directly into the trivia box. Try Adsense links between the question and the answer box, something like that. You'll get a ton of clicks there, espcially if that adsense is driven by the question content-- because the adsense might look like potential answers... That'll turn those visitors into a goldmine.
Your website is good but you can one change to get more $$. you should change your homepage. you can take idea to see another successful site.
hmmm... still didn't get a really good idea I think I can try to integrate affiliate links between the quiz questions and in the multiplayer trivia rooms.
Hey thinktank. It would have been just PERFECT if I could serve with the solution of each question an adsense ad which would be relevant to the question. Good thinking. This idea I had myself as well... the problem, it is not possible to implement this, as it violates the adsense regulations: According to the adsense terms of use, you may not load adsense ads dynamically. In the quizzes pages, all content is dynamic (AJAX), and hence no adsense <script> tags are allowed. Also, adsense do not allow you to refresh the page by code.
Think a bit about this...you call your site special, but have you have realized there are 20 billion special websites like yours on internet?
