Digital Point-The Right Thing at the wrong placeHow DigitalPoint Could Make 100% more

I think really it was. Agree. I will give you a simple reason. I think 1 in 100 people who come here are the ones who click adsense ads. Pple who know about adsense never click on them. Sure! lol, funny but its the truth! So where do the clicks and the money he makes come from? Visitors. Very few members ever ever dare look at google adsense-
Solution.
If the website or forum whatever was about cars, food, or even any other topic where members are not webmasters, i think there would be 100% increase in revenue, think about it, google has listed a 16 year old in its success story for adsense. am sure he has succeeded coz he has known who to target. what do u think..isnt DP jus a Blunder..right thingy at the wrong place????

Be of help and contribute to this thread. it will help people identify niches for their adsense websites.thanks.

 

well, i agree with you. its forum formed by webmasters. getting a click is really a costly affair.

 

The forums of DP were never meant to make money, money is coming from his business.

But yeah, off course you would make more money if you targeted other people, but there is no target here, just a forum for fellow webmasters that got outta control.

 

I agree with you too. what are some niches would you advice for a forum basically for adsense?

 

ya i too need some good pying niches can any one suggest

 

This is true webmasters know about adsense, but like the sigs in posts, we click them if it interests us. See the thread here :

I suppose niches for forums with adsense should be the same that niches for websites. It is always about the high paying keywords but also traffic, and optimization.

 

There are tons of newbies, an many new ones everyday.

 

check something here though tis not complete bit might give you an idea of what we are taling about better niches basically for forums.

there are pple here who are really good webmasters. plzz contribute and tell us of good niches out there.

 

what have you baised your argument on? Here are some things to think about.

Digg is said to give really poor traffic to thoes who get dugg, but Kevin Rose google account gets $250,000 a month, so if all thoes users dont click ads wheres the money coming from?

DigitalPoint forums makes Shawn $10,000 a month which was reported several months ago (if not over a year and a half ago!) in the NYT. I am sure hes making a lot more now, yet nobody clicks right?

Well heres the user count:

he has 3 times more guests than users, so there we go. Well no not quite, lets say worst case its a dig communitiy and nobody clicks...

How many impressions per day does DP do? I dont know, lets say hes still at $300/day. And lets say nobody clicks. Hmm... what could it be? Oh.. I know CPM advertising!

So, at $1/1000 from CPM (which would be reasonable), would mean he needs 300,000 impressions at $1/1000 impressions. Thats everybody online does 7-10 pages per visit(which is pretty low for forums!). (this is a feasable amount as I am going by my own figures on my own forums).

So, people will click, espically guests, where they see 2 ad blocks after the first post. Which will only increase earnings.

I think calling "isnt DP jus a Blunder" a bit of jelousy, at the end of the day hes making at least $120,000/year turnover from DP.. not a bad bit of change for something you do as a hobby.

hey webmasters are much smart and they know how to earn for themselves and for the place that makes them together!

 

i agree. i just think a dfft niche would fetch more. better advice than dismiss my opinion. or wht do you think?

 

One positive thing is that you gain impressions, which I've heard will help your Alexa ranking and also Google throws in a few cents here and there for impressions. But the main advantage here is to learn and share info with fellow webmasters.

 

Sites like this are better left not relying on ad revenue, but it would probably do incredibly well if they took donations (don't know if they do or not). Ofcoarse, they could do like SitePoint and charge to start business related threads, but I think that's another reason why DP is so popular.

 

I'm still stupid and click on the ads. What is Adsense?

---

I kinda agree with you, but think of all the new webmasters coming, at first I came here I had no idea you could make $$$ of sites.

 

Yes, the impressions really make a difference, and i dont think no people click on ads. Usually if i see an interesting ad i click it. I have clicked probably around 20-30 time at my existence at this forum. So he still gets lots of clicks.

 

DP has ran donation campaigns before to raise money for new server hardware and such.
