1 click per 1 week, poor me!

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by vnttn, Aug 6, 2008.

    I have a site about Wireless Technology and I started to put Adsense ads 2 months ago. Up to now, I have received 12 clicks only with eCPM = 0,1%. I don't know why! Earning from GA is not easy!

    I think, there maybe two reasons: the first is I don't know how to put ads effectively and the second is my site's content is not suitable for GA.

    Who know and give me an advice!

    Thank you very much!

    Seems like you have a large rectangle which displays only Image ads. Place TEXT ONLY ads there as you will not get any clicks on image ads even on Good times.

    Well.. You are allowed to place upto 3 AdSense units on one page. So, insert another sky scraper below the present sky scraper. This may not make much difference, but.. its helps a little.

    However, the best thing you can do is to Increase the traffic. Concentrate on traffic as its the life of your site.
    Good luck :)

    Try to change the large picture at top right to "text only".

    don't expect much clicks on highly educational site. most people are not interested in education on the net.

    Traffic, traffic traffic. If you don't have the traffic you won't get the links. Even if your links are in the worst place possible, if you have the traffic they will click.

    I don't think so! Today, so many people use internet to get information, my site is not entirely educational, it tends to share so much information about Wireless Technology.

    Thank you very much for your all share! I will do more to get more and more traffic!

    If you replace that large picture Ad (which is easily noticeable) with the text Ads, your site will be very nicely optimized for adsense. I visited the sub pages (For example: "AT&T free WiFi access offer to iPhone owners is up again, NOT!" in the Wi-Fi section) and saw that except that big picture Ad on the upper right corner, the other 2 Ads nicely blend with the content.

    So in my opinion your major problem is to drive as much traffic to your site as possible to earn some bucks from your website.

    I have some ideas :
    1. get some more traffic from socials ( digg, stumbleupon, reddit etc. )
    2. use more keywords , try to optimize your site better for search engines
    3. put a 468x60 text ad at the start of every article ...
    4. Good Luck :D

    avoid the image ads they give really poor returns, because people get smart to not clikcing on banners, but are more likely to click on text ads

    I think what is mentioned by others is correct. Placing image ads at your hotspot most probably is the reason why. Replace it with ad units and make the font blend in with your site theme. Hope that helps.

    Thanks for your all share! But I think that if I replace the image ads, my site seem less attractive. Moreover, although I know that cost per click of image ads is less than that of text ads, but image ads attracts more clicks on it.
    Any other methods and types of Ads are highly appreciated. Thank you very much!
