    I've tried adsense and adbrite but I'm stuck in the same situation again. Tons of ad views but not much profit. How do you make money on wallpaper sites?

    The click rates are high , you need to blend your ad with your content so that they dont look like ads....make your ad links look like content...Try to get content on wall paper designs or find a word or term that pays you higher keeping the theme of your site the same

    I'm also having the same problem. My site has been open for 5 years now and we're getting about 500 unique visits per day and 5000+ impressions per day yet no clicks. I know the visits are real because we have a very active forum, plus all the content on the site is user generated.

    I made maybe $0.30 for the two clicks. The rest I made from impressions. My ads are blended into the content.

    It is really hard to earn from adsense. I have $1.13 in last 10 days from my two blogs.

    What the hell it is? It is not safe earning option. Once you get banned then you are jobless.

    Earning money solely from AdSense is like playing Russian Roulette. It can all be wiped out in one algorithm change or, like you mention, being banned.

    It's so important to have several income streams. AdSense might be the easiest, but it's also the least stable in my opinion.

    I find that making money from adsense is relatively easy on a blog, but I'm talking about a wallpaper site.

    Which site is that from, because different niches have different values. For example proxies and forums are not that good for CTR, but news sites or blogs are.

    95,000 impressions and only 2 clicks, I'd say there is a lot of room to improve your CTR by many fold ;)

    CPM is what you need.

    Use CPX and another such direct CPM sales ;) They pay higher for such a large amount of "branding power" on those impressions.
