Is Adsense Best For One Of My Sites?

    I'm not sure how others feel, but Adsense just doesn't seem to pay enough, at least to pay the bills in North America. I have a high traffic tech site, is there anything better then Adsense I should use?

    No, there is no better PPC program for publishers. AdSense provides the best contextual ads, but the CPC depends on the niche.

    Ya, if it is a nice tech or web development site... buy sell ads pay you well.

    Hope buy sell ads bring something for other niche too. It is good for advertisers to... unlimited clicks.

    How high is high? You can always try to supplement with private advertising.

    If PPC doesn't work, you might want to try affiliate programs like Amazon Associate.

    I have tech blog and I am earning $30 monthly from google adsense. I think you have not placed the ads in the right place or something wrong.

    I agree, placement and niche is everything! I have edited the placements so many times now and finally have found the best solution. As traffic increases so does my revenue. In the first month so far, starting from January 18th made around $90 or so.

    nothing better than adsense really, although are you using affiliates and private advertising if the traffic is high?

    I think it's all relative, if I earned only $30 a month from Adsense, I think I'd hang myself.

    I'm thinking I may have to look into private ad sales again. I had looked into this a while back, but it would be so much easier to work with a company and give them a cut.
