So the niche is anime. We most host direct media downloads, but also have a fairly active forum. We're currently using Adbrite which pays roughly $3/day on auto. CPX paid about the same. I realize it's a bad niche, but there has to be more I can do to bring up earnings. I tried CPA ads for a week and had almost 1000 clicks no leads/sales. I had ads up for companies like gamefly. Note, due to the nature of the content, we cannot use Adsense. (it's a grey area). Adversal rejected me.. no idea why. So who really could pay me the most cpm/cpc wise for a bad niche? Or should i use something other than straight banner ads? PM me for the URL if you're feeling helpful and want to share some tips
I get 2k uniques a day and $5 a day from adsense my problem is I cant get my site over 2k i do something to increase it and it drops down again shortly after my niche is a computer hardware / gaming forum based around windows vista
12k a day and just 3 $/ day ?? You must be kidding,Sir One of my anime site doesnt even make 2k a month,but it gets me more than 30-40$/ day from Clicksor, Kontera, Adsense.. Im sure,you must have not optimized it well..
Have you tried changing the layout of where you place your ads? Maybe that would help by having ads at the top right or at the side? Just a thought.
