    Hi everyone! :)

    A little about me: I've been running a lot of content and proxy sites. All of them have made me hundreds of dollars per week from adsense.

    I once asked Who uses CPM ads, when they pay so little?

    Anyways now I'm considering it!

    Look at the stats for my site: http://www.whatmp3.net

    [​IMG]

    Only $.09 for 1,250 impressions! If I monetized it with adversal, I would have made at least $1.80. :)

    Any suggestions, tips, or ideas? Should I stop adsense altogether for this site?
    I never knew that it could generate so many page views!

    Could you show us your website? Maybe your adsense placement is not too good.

    Bad location of adsense, so move it
    shouldn't be using black, switch to blue
    to small of an ad unit, use a larger ad unit (250/300 perhaps?)


    Best of luck :)

    Well put more than one adsense block on there and use a different size (250x250 or whatever), keep it in the visitors field of view (but no obtrusively)

    most importantly, make sure the link/text portion is NOT BLACK, use blue (0000ff is the color code) or something to grab the visitors eyes.

    Personally, I'd toss a 468 one between song title 4 and 5 as well as have a big box or rectangle below the song lists and above the numbers for the next page(s).

    There was only one click. :) So I didn't get any invalid clicks.

    Do you think you can show me a screenshot of what you mean?

    I'd expect low CTR with this sort of site. Even lower CPC!

    P.S: Tried searching for 3-4 songs and none of them would load :(. Downloads fine however.

    Adsense is not for every site

    Your need to try other publishing programs

    Of course music will play. :) You have to click the play button! What song were you searching for?
