    May be due to un targeted visits, i.e. no potential customer have been visited you site. can u tell me what method you use to get this much visitors. If you have good SEO back round, why can't use it for adsense like programs. This is my suggesstion only. Tell me the method of getting this much visits daily, then only we can analyze the traffic from where it has come.

    I think you have few information on your site and your color is not so cheerful.

    Ah, travel...

    First off, realize that CRs for travel in general is low and competition is tough. The best strategy is to target destination niches specifically. For your site, you're giving vacation tips all around the world and putting up banners in between paragraphs - not targeted, not good.

    One way to do it is to a focus one website on one destination that links out to hotel bookings, vacation activities, packages, cruises, etc., that make you commission. Offer great information / content - like top things to do, hotel reviews, cheap eating, etc.,

    With the way your site is set up, I think the best option is strictly using CPC programs.

    You have ZERO targeting on your site.

    You have no real idea who your customer is. And your articles do nothing to convince anyone to do anything.

    In short you are not really marketing... you are just throwing up a site, trying to get traffic, putting up links then hoping someone will buy.

    You definitely need to change up the content. There is zero targeting, and nothing compelling in the articles - looks like poorly rewritten articles. Sevnrock and internetmarketingiq hit the nail on the head with their suggestion. You have too much going on. Its too busy for a buyer to make a choice.

    IMHO, adsense is a bad idea in a niche with so much competition. There are adsense ads on your site promoting the same companies your an affiliate for! Also, try putting some videos of hot vacation spots on, that will get viewers excited. :D

    Usually getting hit from banner will not convert more use datafeed you will get more CTR and good conversion

    Pretty much like filling a lottery ticket.
    Listen to the great answers above, you need to send targeted traffic.
    Just don't give up and I hope you'll start earning :)

    I can tell you that Vacation Home Rentals.. is a scammer. They do NOT pay. When you get leads, they charge them back.. every time.
    Drop those ads ASAP, if you are smart.
    There is another one Vacation Rentals (rent experts)... they are the good one.

    Probably being redundant but:
    - move the capture box "above the fold"
    - make it compelling to enter my contact information
    - focus on unique and specific locations.

    Good Luck

    Hey there,

    I think you have a nice looking site but there are things to learn like said before:

    - Figure out who your target is and direct people who actually buy vacations or looking for them, more like families

    - Write informative content, write about the packages, the deals, what is included, why it's best for 3 people, 5, why it's the best deal and so on

    - You have some banners on the right side of the page that are not in topic of your site and that does not look good - also - too much banners, you should focus on content and

    place a banner here and there, but not bomb the site with them.



    Wish you all the best my friend and best of luck!

    Hello dude getting traffic to your website is cool, but it should be targeted traffic and quality back links, Here is a mistake u done you place affiliate banners in your site are useless they are not related to site your site category. please Place banners closely related to your site, Then visitor will look for only related, connected to the current subject.

    If have the skills to generate 45000 clicks then you really must put in a lot of effort to make them convert.

    Bad site design (to bloggy of a layout), poorly written copy (no selling - not even subtly) - is it some rehashed PLR? Site is not designed to sell anything, large amount of traffic probably not targeted - check what keywords are getting traffic to your site - or are you just buying traffic (PR0)??? I am shocked anyone is clicking on any ads because the ads aren't really obvious - layout is too flashy and busy. In addition (a future consideration), the URL's are not SEO optimized.

    I could go on and on and on.
