Adsense is becoming ridiculous for me. They are barely paying me. I have a med-high traffic vbulletin forum and I average 250 clicks per day but I only receive $5 or $6. Do you guys have any suggestions? Does clicksor pay more? Also, I may invest in an YPN account.
Yes, you should try some other PPC and check out how they payout and decide yourself which is best to continue, also you said vbulletin forum, better showup the URL and can suggest you..
http://www.pixelfast.com/overture/ Use this to search for keywords relating to your site on the left is the bid amounts people give for their ads try and use the keywords in whic the bid amount is high and right ofcourse is OVT Regards
250 Clicks=$5 It's impossible,minimum cost per click on google adwords is $0.05,so 250 clicks x 0.05 = $12.5,If you get 50% of the cost of click,you must get $6.25. Reasons for this 1-may be invalid clicks or 2-wait for updating or 3-google become crazy
shand0 it ranges between 200-250 clicks per day and $5-$6 per day. They all seem to be valid clicks, I receive alot of traffic.
you may be smartpricing.. However,I think that a good affiliate program will be more profitable with your high traffic
I would right click on the ads being displayed on your site and copy the url. You should visit the sites and make sure they are not slutty mfa spammy sites such as fantastic-7.com. These sites buy huge amounts of adwords traffic and are given big discounts. If you find the sites are not spammy then just check if they are at least related to the content of your forum. Maybe the adsense bot doesn't quite no what your forum is about.
u are not alone, mate. I got about 200 clicks with around 7 - 10 dollars. This is provided that my sites is not based on one themes. I think the problem is that most of the clicks are invalid clicks i.e. users click on it and then realize it is an ads and click back button.
I wish I could have 250 clicks on my site, it would make me $250 bucks, because I use keywords that pays $1-$3 per click.
From my experience, CTR from the tax forum is extremely low ( 0.15%), while I get around 1.5 to 2 % CTR (good response ??) from the homepage. Did anybody compared the CTR from a forum page to other pages in your website? Did you see huge difference like this ? How to increase CTR in a forum with out crowding it with ads ?.
The simple truth is, you cant even earn 10% of what you earn in adsense from other PPC ad networks. So, just try to concentrate on bringing more traffic and also do some keyword search and start some topics related to them. Whats your forum´s url?
