Hi, Currently getting about 1000 impressions daily on a forum i own. It is however not converting to many clicks(not sure if im allowed to say). Is there any tips anyone can share on how to get some higher click amounts? Site is www.metalthrone.net
Yes that's true. Happening to me right now. But I am still thinking will give it 2 more years and then I do hope to get some better results.
I'd have to go with the crowd. 5-10 can be expected. Forum page impressions are inflated by their very nature. I usually divide mine by 20% to give a better CTR.
My poker forum gets around 500 impressions a day and I get around 2-4 clicks a day. But the best thing to concentrate on would be actual sponsors of the site, it will pay more than adsense as like already mentioned, forums don't get alot of click throughs as the content people want is contained within the forum.
1000 impressions is probably less than 100 unique visits on a forum. Forum generally produces a high ratio of impressions per visit. The CTR is almost always lower for a forum than for another type of site.
Well , its true forum doesnt get a lot click. But if you put your add on good place, you might able to get 8 to 10 clicks. but hey its all depends on user.
1. link does NOT work 2. i substantially disagree with all below in regard to loow ctr / love $ for forums however i agree if THIS forum's layout is your default layout as most forum SW has 3. i run 5 forums - some with lower aome with higher traffic PLUS one forum archive from earlier forum SW i had years ago thanks to the topic question i ust made my march stats to have accurate data a - i have totally changed the templates of all my forums for SEO and adsense already at the very beginning of installation b - with my 2 digit CTR and 2 digit eCPM site-wide average in mind - the forum average all 5 forums plus archive is well within my sitewide average! the lowest being below 5% ctr the highest well in the 2 digits the key to success is EXACTLY the same as for all pages - placement - formats - color scheme of pages AND ads 1. placement almost no forum has a clean ATF top center and almost no forum offers a most successful format ATF the key carrier of my $ is / are my 1 or 2 rect ATF in BOTH "most successful formats" as published by G. i strictly show ATF in top-center and NEVER in the right TRASH corner of a page 2. formats i strictly use only the 3 most successful formats as published and updated by G !!! if i display 1 ATF rect - then always a 336x280 if i have high competition /high eCPM - then i display 2 rect units ATF - and this usually are BOTH most successful rectangular formate - hence 336x280 AND 300x250 - side by side 3. colors a - i striclty never use blending b - i use for forum exactly the same color schemes for pages AND ads as for all my pages = BRIGHT friendly colors! in detail exactly as published weeks earlier in other adsense threads how much for 1000 impressions ? according to my own experience 10-12$ impressions average a more tolerant reply - looking ONLY at my lowest plus my highest forums 5+ to 17+$ the topic is ONE major key to eCPM - the topic is YOUR choice as a site owner/author !!!
