Hi, this is my first ever attempt to make a website and monetize it, my site's been up for around 4 or 5 days and I've made $0.36 with it. You could kinda minus 1 day out because I messed up and the ads change to totally unrelavent subjects. What I've done to promote it is search engine/directories/blog submissions, asked for some forum reviews, and made a bunch of friends in blogging websites. My traffic varies, but for the past 3 days, I've had at around 100 unique visitors each day, then yesterday I had around 220(a bunch from stumbleupon), but today I think it'll be back to 100. I made a couple cents on one of the day, and yesterday I got a quarter = 36cents total. I have 2XXX page imp but only 7 clicks. So I would like to ask all the experts here how I am doing, is the site going slow? Am I doing OK? Is my CTR not good enough? Should I spent more time developing this or move on to the next project? ect. Thanks for any advice and comments.
What is the URL? If you only have 7 clicks in over 2000 impressions your CTR is terrible although it could be that your SU visitors made a lot of impressions and no clicks. If you show the site here or post in adsense forum people will help you improve your CTR
conversion rate should be based on source of traffic to say if its good or not. stumble traffic converting at 1-3% would be very good while search engine traffic at that rate is lower than most people see with optimized pages. then again don't focus only on conversions because that can scare away return visits.
Your traffic is excellent for a site that has only been running for 3 days! As Nkthen said, put your adsence high up the page, it should be above the top half of your computer monitor when viewed. Also try to have it either central or to the left of the page, so it is the first thing your visitors will see. Also make sure you have relevant ads on it. You can do this by putting a sentence with a keyword relevant to your site directly under the Adsence code. You have done the first part well - getting visitors, it can take anywhere from 2 - 6 months to get 100-200 visitors a day. I am sure you will soon be reporting that your adsence click through rate has doubled! Best Wishes Gerry
Thanks alot for all the comments guys, I love this forum!!!! Btw my site url is kzonedl.com if you guys would like to help me out more update info: 3,5xx impressions, 21 clicks, $1.10 yea my CTR is terrible and I think I know why. My site is about movies/games/ect but for some reason, sometimes the adsense would give unrelavant subjects like self-defense, pepper sprays, women self-defense, nursing,ect. What the hell? I have nothing about self-defense on my homepage. This is happening everyday, it would have these defense ads for like half the time and the other half of the time, it would show the right ads, this is just happening randomly. I'd appreciated if anyone could help me. Thank You w ww.kzonedl.com
