How to increase my earnings after what I've done so far

Here is what I have done so far :
- I write about Programming Languages (Visual Basic)
- I have 75 posts in my blog
- My blog (@ Blogspot.com) is 4 years old .
- I rank in Google search in the the first 4 results for the keyword that I'm targeting.
- I used AdSense in my blog 3 years ago, but I did not pay much attention because I'm a freelancer and I kinda did not have the time.
- I searched for a high competition Keyword with high CPC that matches my blog goal [Visual Basic Online Course], I included it in all my blog posts, I get average 90 visitors daily (some from google search and some from facebook).
- My current CPC is 0.10$, I get less than 0.50$ a day for 5 clicks average.
- My posts are good and unique.

What do you think I should be doing to increase my CPC and clicks ... Here is my blog (vb6access2003.blogspot.com)

Thank you in advance.

 

go dot com. That's my advice.

 

It needs to be redone. The navigation is perplexing, a lot of your main content is in English while a lot of your lesson descriptions etc. are in Arabic (possibly okay if your target audience speaks both), your target keywords are completely spammed (which is probably why you have a pagerank of 0), the URL is not convincing ("VB 6 access" doesn't make a lot of sense here, 2003 was 10 years ago, it's a free blogspot page...).

I apologize if this is offensive criticism. It was not my intention.
Basically:
1. design
2. white hat SEO
3. useful content

 

1) Pick a language. Arabic, English, it doesn't matter. That doesn't mean you can't have Arabic, it just means that you need an english version and an arabic version.
2) Stop spamming/targeting keywords. I too have a programming blog, mine is a year old, gets more hits than you, I write less than 5 posts a month, and I have half the posts you do. Stop trying to cheat the system. If you focus on writing content that your users find useful, the traffic and the money will come.
3) Your design reminds me of a website from the 90s. The images take several seconds to load on a decent connection, god help the folks on a crappy connection. You need simple navigation and a clean layout (preferably without a background image.)
4) You link to pirated content. Adsense is going to slap the banhammer on you sooner or later.
5) You don't have a privacy policy, Adsense is going to slap the banhammer on you sooner or later.

If you get banned from adsense, you'll be screwing yourself over. You need to comply with adsense's policy guidelines ASAP. I'm going to make a guess and say that you haven't actually gotten paid yet...

 

You said it all, to OP even if you're ranked and got unique content it dosnt mean youll earn from adsense
work on your design, get a paid domain it will help

 

One thing that helped me a lot, is a Wordpress and useful Wordpress plugins.

 

I am using wordpress platform for all my websites but same low earning issue with my sites. One domain with .com and other with .net but PR 1
I am also waiting for some effective methods to increase my online adsense income.

 

That was not offensive at all, thank you for honesty .... You said No# 3 Useful content ... What do you mean ? Does my content seems useless to you ? ... Please tell me why do you think so ?
I agree with all above except the Useful content thing ... Please tell me more about it.

Thank you again ....

 

Thank you for your advise .... I'm not into AdSense so that much, but I understood a lot from what you said more than any experience I've gained. My most earnings from Internet generally is from working as a programmer, AdSense is just a side source, I got paid twice in 2 years.
What do you mean "Pirated content" ?? please explain more ...

Thank you, that was so helpful for me ...

 

I will go for it, when I learn to get things done correctly, as you can see from others replies, I barely know how to use AdSense. Thank you though for your advise.

 

Wordpress is an option, sure, but let me first fix my base knowledge and I will give it a try ... Thank you for you comment.

 

I have another blog talking about .Net, I aimed for the same keywords as you stated above (Is a wrong thing to do), but I did it anyway ... Would you please review it too if possible ... ?
if so, then the link is (adonetaccess2003.blogspot.com)
if not, then I will apply the same thing you all said to this one too ...

Thank you in advance .

 

Visual Studio (any version) and Visual Basic (The version you have linked on your site) are both pieces of copyrighted software. You cannot link to copyrighted content if you wish to use adsense unless you have permission from the copyright holders (i.e. if microsoft gave you written permission to distribute their software.) Therefore, you stand a very GOOD chance of not even making your first payment. Even if you do, it won't be very long before you get banned, and once that happens, you can say goodbye to adsense...forever more than likely.

 

I'm not selling Visual Studio or Visual Basic, I'm just writing about Programming in Visual Basic ... Is this illegal ?

 

Focus on QUALITY not on earnings Earnings will automatically follow

Target not on a single keyword but multiple and have regular updates !

All the best

 

When I ran a programming blog I had a lot of success with using dzone.com for promotion. I'd find questions on Q&A sites that were answered briefly and then write more in-depth articles about them. Once I had a decent article I'd submit to dzone which would bring me traffic immediately. Submitting garbage content there doesn't work well though. You also have to submit things other than you're content to keep your rep up.

 

OK, what I understood from you guys is :
1) Unique design
2) Domain
3) Original useful contents
4) Targeting keywords
........ Is there anything else ?
Now, how do I target Keywords, considering that my methods is not earning me anything!
any advise ?

 

Apart from all previous users said;
Don't also forget that programmers seeking for answers/content/responses to specific problems KNOW ads and know what they want. So they are unlike to click on ads. So with that audience a lower CTR is expected regardless how good is ad placement.

 

This is an excellent notice "Shakas" ... Thank you.
Now, I won't be worried about CTR because in my case, that would be normal ... Thank you again .

 

For you main audience that's probably true, but for examples like:
Vbasic for newbies
how to read/write file in VB
etc etc

in those specific entry-level posts I'd adapt them so the ads would be in a more "user-friendly-clicable postition" It's easier to get newbies to click on ads than programmers.
