I was having one old domain which I was using for rapidshare premium download script. Yesterday I have loaded proxy script into it and add adsense. I have submit it to few proxy lists. I got 500 impressions and 3 clicks from adsense. The revenue is only $0.25. Its eat my 3 GB bandwidth too. What you people think about the earnings ? Is it good or poor ? My site is : www.rapidsurfing.net
Rather than ads be focused on your content and look of your website which will help you to increase web traffic. You have used all three adsense unit at top which will slow down your website and also will down your results in google search. So my suggestion is use only two ad units for this much of content. all the best.
Google AdSense is pathetic. I use 7search. My main website is currently earning me $4.10c per click for one of my high paying keywords it's all about keyword research clearly you didn't haha. I'm going to sell it soon though, I need to buy a new car =)
It means that your earnings are low and (as Nicholas said) you could get banned for adding AdSense ads to that kind of website. There are many better ways to monetize this kind of website: - CPM ads (if you have a lot of traffic) - CPA ads - selling ads or you can simply start some kind of ezine and promote it on your website to get subscribers...
When it comes to small websites, I am not sure AdSense is the best way to go. You need to find something with flexible entry terms and good rates, good support, and advanced optimization. This will make it much easier to learn your way around online ads and how to best use them to your advantage. Regardless, your main priority now should be your content. Quality content=visitors, and that's your main goal here.
Its from referral site. Also the conversion is very very low for proxy site I think. And the resource eating and bandwidth eating is very very high. Its eat more than 5GB daily.
if you want to live from adsense, you must attract search engine traffic, not refferals of any kind, pait-to-click services and similar...
For proxy sites I would not recommend CPC ads as you are currently doing, try switching to pop-unders and CPA ads, they will give you a more reliable earning.
It's not a bad conversion rate, but the CPC is pretty low. Even with 5000 you will only make 2.50 if the cost remains the same. That's not much considering the amount of hits.
Holy smokes, there is so much wrong information here, it is hard to believe. Seomantrik, you have to take the advice here and scrutinize every bit of it. People seem to know what they are talking about, but many don't. First, it is perfectly acceptable to use adsense on a proxy website. In fact, it will be your highest source of income to use adsense on a proxy website. What you cannot do is use adsense on the proxified page, only the home page. Keyword research is irrelevant on a proxy site. Adsense doesn't really care about keywords, now it simply shows ads based on your (and your customers) surfing habits. Hasn't anyone noticed that ads displaying on websites lately have everything to do with where you have been searching and what you have been typing into search engines? These are the ads your customer will see, based on what they have been up to lately. Adsense isn't targeting keyword spamming any longer to display ads. Traffic will be driven to your website by placing your proxy on lists. Ultimately, if your proxy website is reliable and fast, people will simply bookmark it and it will go viral in an organic way. That is what will drive your traffic to your website. Now, if you happen to own a TLD domain that is an exact keyword match for a long tail keyword that gets a lot of search value, that will help drive search engine traffic, but it has nothing to do with the kind of ads that will be displayed. Here is what you can expect to earn from a proxy server. It's all about the traffic and nothing else. If your ads are placed properly and are the right kind of ads, you can expect a CTR of 1.5%. Further, you can expect a CPC of .10 to .20 cents. Occasionally, there will be a click of several dollars in there, but that is the exception and not the rule. In summary, you should expect to see $200 per month with adsense if you can drive 5,000 visits per day, this is a good rule of thumb. I make a good living off of proxy servers. Have a look at the link in my signature if you want to learn how this is done. PS - your ad placement is all wrong.
PS you need to remove this immediately before google closes your account. "You can help us by visiting our sponser websites or purchase from them."
If you're CTR is low, there can be a variety of issues..traffic sources.. ad placement.. etc. You will need to use trial and error to increase the CTR. I have found the medium rectangle at the very top of each post to be the most effective. But keep in mind that every website layout will be different.
After a long I got a very good help! Its really inspiring message. Can you give me some suggestions on the proper ad placement ? Did I need to change the design ?
The most effective ads are going to be the large blocks. Ads should be towards the top of the page as much as possible, users should not have to scroll to see an add. If you are doing things right and Google likes you, they will send you emails like this-- "Hi, We've noticed that you're running less than three ad units on 1 of your pages on xxxxxx.com. By taking advantage of all three available units per page, you could place at least 1 additional ad units on the pages we reviewed. Based on our performance analysis of ad format sizes on sites like yours, we recommend adding a 336x280 ad unit for best results. If you aren't able to add that particular size, then try adding one of our other top performing units (336x280, 300x250, 728x90 or 160x600) to prominent sections of your pages that are rich in content.
