My Adsense Stinks

    60,517 with 61 clicks, 25.00 dollars. It's not even worth putting up on my site I'm getting the feeling.

    Are your ads on a forum? If so you can still improve, but your not going to get tons of clicks.

    If not post a link to your website and we might be able to help you increase your click through rate, if you increase your clicks Adsense will be worth it.

    Get links and improve your sites over-all popularity.

    The more well ranked you are the higher your earnings.


    I agree, you can make a lot more if you have

    1) Your own offering
    2) Goal Funnel
    3) Watch conversions in GA==> tweak to improve.

    AS is for bottom feeders, IMO. No offense to publishers ;-).

    You didn't say that is a forum. But even on your forum, you can do some optimizations. Use more ad units, with colors blended better with surrounding elements, put ads between posts etc... It would help, but need some testing.

    What do you mean by 1 & 2?

    Tweak to improve? As in don't let the users have worthless conversation?

    I wondering if you have more than 60.000 page view in one day if some time only had only 2 people online.
    I think if only one forum http://astrospoint.com, you only get about max 6000 page view a day.

    Sprinkle in a little Kontera.. if your forum is getting the traffic you say, it should easily earn at least as much as your adsense does.. and probably more.

    For sure!

    Determine an objective (goal) of your site that makes money...I dunno, write a book or something. Make it the goal of your site to sell copies of your book on your site. Determine anticipated paths your visitor will take to buy the book on your website. Install Google analytics. Create a goal funnel, watch how they move through it. Make adjustments to improve book purchases (conversions).

    Work from that angle and your pay day will be far greater than AS me thinks!

    Then run AS after you are a millionaire from book sales :)
