Okay people, today I had 98,735 impressions and earned $26.33, as You can see in my attachment. I know this is bad CTR, but anyway, I am running community website and this is the best I can. Is this good enough for this amount impressions on community website ??? Anyway, it gives me possibility to pay dedicated server about $150 per month and also at the end of the month I have something about $600 earned in my hands.
I do not think that is underline with Google TOS to post click and page impression and earnings, but I can say it like this: I have about 300 to 400 clicks per 24 hour.
whether or not its good/bad depends on niche, placement, etc. .. hard to determine just through numbers
Yes, I know that I almost have no niche, actually my niche is nothing, because i run social networking website. I am aware of possibility to earn more money per day, but I ll have to work hard, and, also, I ll have to change ads positions and colors, but i do not want to be overloading users view with ads. Anyway, thanks for Your responses people.
considering 98k impressions and 400 clicks, i say your CTR is terrible. then again, without a targeted niche and on social networking sites, its normal. $26 for one day is pretty good. but since you have lot of impressions, you can try playing around with the ad placement and blending in if not done already. you never know which layout and ad placement your visitors are gonna like
i think if you have more impression move to adbrite they pay high then this google adsense. I think through adbrite you can get around 40 to 50$.
adbrite? hmmm, somehow i think sticking to Adsense and tweaking the site is more viable. I have crap all traffic and CTR, so yours is fantastic nedim
Not at all. At best, you will get 1/3 of adsense, from adbrite. That too if you use irritating ad formats, that brings up a adpage which covers your page etc. I have been using adsense on a forum and later was forced to use adbrite after getting banned from adsense. I tried adbrite and kontera, but both together is not bringing even 50% what adsense used to pay. Most people might think you are having very low CTR, but I am sure they would have no experience in runnign a forum/community site. The best I could achive was 0.6% CTR on the forum, even after some hard pushing like an ad block between the text and signature of first post on every thread page. I can understand your CTR being low, if most of your visitors are repeat vistors/members, this could happen. But less than 10 cents per click is very low,I used to get around 12 cents even with 90% of my traffic being asian. I think you can try section targetting etc to get more targetted ads. Better placement and targetting must get you up to 50% more revenue, I guess.
I didn't know that adbrite has better options for publishers than Adsense. Sure, I'll give it try in these couple days. I know that my site doesn't have a niche and yes it is social network, but I think, I can get better than this. If I get to the point where I can earn approximately about 80 to 100 USD per one day, I would quit my regular job as web developer and do only this kind of job for myself. I also have been thinking about getting on my own company and start working with direct advertising income, because I know it would be much, much better. Is this better idea, than use adsense ???
I think with that amount of imps you should move to CPM ads . You are missing a great source of earnings from those networks
kashifmahmood has a great point, maybe try adbrite as they paid me about $1 CPM without annoying ads.
hmmmm seems to be nice but hw did u place ur ads tht u have managed to get such high ctr are the clicks legal?
So it roughly breaks down to $2.80 per 10,000 impressions, its not great but it really depends on your niche that your in also
It is not nice CTR, please see in my posts before, that is why I am worried. I do not have high CTR , because on almost 100.000 impressions per day I have only about 300 to 400 clicks. that is less than 0.5% CTR. @soniqhost.com I do not have a niche, it is social networking website.
I wouldn't really bother with AdBrite; AdBrite advertisements are irritating, and many of them are based on adult sites (well, when I used it). Most people will not click on AdBrite advertisements. As for your earned money, I'm not quite sure if it is good or not; few people actually click on the advertisements on my site. =p
