If your site is brand new and gets less than 100 visitors a day then it is best that you don't put AdSense on it yet. I always tell people to wait until they get up to 1000 pageviews / day before trying to monetize a site. If your traffic is small you will earn next to nothing and you will lose confidence in the project. It takes time to make money with a website so don't rush it; on average, a well designed site with good content and some word-of-mouth marketing can get to the 1000 pageviews/day target in about 6 months. Although it varies depending on how competitive your niche and content are. Cheers!
Adsense is not always good for every niche I would do 2 of 1 things. Either get ypn or get your target niche and get other websites to promote on your site you should always think out of the box and not only think about promoting adsense
Is www.greatergaming.com one of the sites you are talking about? If your clicks are cheap (because of the niche), you can still increase your earnings by increasing 1. Traffic 2. CTR of the ads 3. Number of ads. I'd especialy suggest that you play with ad placement and color to improve CTR. Think about : 1. Changing the background color of the ad block. It's rather intensive blue now, and the blue links on the blue background are just... mm... a bit hard to notice, they look unimportant. You may try white background. Or at least make it the color of the page (very light blue). 2. Changing the place of the ad block. Put it closer to your main content, so that it becomes more visible to your visitors - to the right of the main content (where your "Top games" and "Newest games" links are placed now). Or melt it with the content, for example, insert an adsense block between the 3rd and the 4th rows of pictures. Or put a vertical ad block between the columns of pictures. 3. Also put more ads! Look how youtube pages are stuffed with vertical and horizontal ads - you can do the same Also you might need filtering MFA sites. Good luck!
What is ypn? i have been recently hearing about it. But not sure what it is. I do not have a credit card to setup and account with them as I feel CC are very unneeded. Is there anyway to get around that? thanks
Ok, so I gather that gaming sites don't pay well for adsense. Is there a way to find which niches pay better?
Don't buy traffic! Tell us again when the bought traffic is gone. You should earn more per click then...
how many clicks you generated? I got an arcard type of sites and my earning is like 100 clicks for 4$. (estimate)
niche gaming is very poor for payments one of the lowest around, godaddy traffic lmao, get rid of that rubbish.
Thats bad man.... I get atleast 25-30 hits per day from google with a small gaming blog....sometimes it has gone to 200. You can ask me how I have done that. The answer is , I did nothing. Just constant updating. thats all. I didnt even dp advertise for that blog much...
If this is the site you are talking about http://www.greatergaming.com/ Please blend your ads more with the background for better ctr, CTR droped very badly after new image next to ad policy.
You where probably Dugg. Digg does not give you good returns, even though it helps in the long term as you get more backlinks.
Ya the stats are from articles.strathcl.com (no index yet), strathcl.com, greatergaming.com so basically 3 websites making so little. As it stands now my earnings - $26.28 page impressions - 45,378 Todays earnings - $0.00 Ya I wish there was more that i could do to improve this. by simply placing the ads in a different location. I am working on a new colour scheme for greatergaming . com But how much do you make per day because i am constantly updating... but i think blogs are what really make the money when it comes to adsense... where is the best place to get one.. like is there a way to download like a blog script so other websites are not getting hits off me? Thank you for you time and help Joecool6101
