17,000 Impressions = 1 Click???

I opened my site a week ago and the first couple days I only had about 200 impressions a day but yesterday I had 2,000 impressions and only 1 click for 3 cents. Today I got 18,000 impressions and only 1 click for 47 cents. I am wondering if 18,000 impressions and one click in one day is good or bad for a week old website. I would also like to resolve the another problem. Some of my ads may not be relevant sometimes, so I am not sure if that's a problem with my click ratio. Please help me out. Thanks!

 

You need to improve ad placements.

 

18000 impressions is very good, but 1 click for all that, that's really bad. As for ads that aren't relevant you can block those url's, though google is usually pretty good at serving relatively relevant ads.

 

WoW! it's very bad!
meby you need to change the color of the ads?

The problem is that your ads aren't relevant what so ever.
There was a motivational ad because motivational was in your tag cloud.
There just isn't any humor related text for the adsense to generate humor related ads.

 

unbelievable, you'd better email adsense for support.

 

Ity's not on adsense part, he needs to use better wording in his website. The majority of the text in there is tags.

 

I totaly agree!

you need to put some content, otherwise you will get no relevent ads on your webstise.

 

The ads should be relevant and you have to improve your ad placements in this case.

 

Thats awful. Your ads probably aren't relevant nor are they well placed.

 

so sad your not get good clicks ,try to place ads in good place

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'll figure a way to put some content. However, I would appreciate if you guys could review my ad placement. Also, have you guys had any success with image ads, I was thinking of trying those out. Thanks!

I have a sharp drop in clicks no. this week too

 

Why are you using Wordpress and not an image gallery script? You'd be getting loads of extra functionalities, plus ways of adding content and targetting your ads... Try coppermine or 4images!

 

I prefer you to use adbrite when you have awesome Traffic and enormous Impressions you are receiving. They pay 0.01 for 1000 impression even you are not getting clicks you are paid something.

I did something similar here are my stats

Ad zone views
33,764 (2 Days)

Far better then adsense

 

My experience with the Stumble Upon Traffic has been that they don't click that much. Same goes for Digg and Reddit Traffic.

How much time do they spend on your site ?
