70 unique users/day with no clicks!

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by ahelpinghand, Jun 11, 2009.

    Dear friends, this site gets an average of 70 unique users/day with no single click! It's really strange, I know I can't make real money with that traffic but the site is still new and having not even one click tells me this could be something wrong. Is programming tutorials a bad nitch or I'm doing something wrong? here is a sample page with AdSense:

    I reckon you need to stick the advert after the first paragraph, so that people enter the site, get reading, get thinking, then get distracted by the juicy adverts, rather than eyeballing below the adverts immediately when entering the page.

    Adsense placement and colors are the cause. Do bit more work related to these issues

    And what % of these are human visitors, also try putting the adsense blocks in the content.

    This is just normal, some sites got 14000 page impressions and only receives 50-70 clicks/day. One of the reason is Google narrowed the clickable space to prevent accidental clicks

    Frustrating, but not uncommon. Do try to experiment with different ad placements, though, as many have suggested, and just keep on trying to bring in more traffic and unique viewers. But sometimes it is just luck - or something like that. In my experience, I can have days with that many unique viewers and no clicks, and then other days where I have fewer unique visitors but up to a dozen clicks or more.

    I would definitely try adjusting your ad placement - try a few different locations and trial and error...that seems strange...good luck with it and you'll figure it out eventually!

    I think that most of the people know about adsense and thats why they don't click much.
    Only the people who don't know much click it. :D

    You can try other ad formats. I think some formats will work better. You need to try a lot. One important question I have is "who are those 70 unique visitors?" Are they real? The quality of your visitors and where they come form might affect your performances. You should check this with Google Analytics.

    I think you write too much.. usually visitors click ads when there's nothing or left to read. but your article is just keep on and on and on like an ebook

    70 visitors on Inernet is nothing.
    People visit sites for content not to watch or click ads.

    You site looks alright. Could place your ads in a more prominent position.

    Also your niche focuses on the computer literate crowd, they're often too internet savvy to click on Adsense ads.

    1. Use verdana font
    2. Center the ad and put it in the middle of the text
    3. Use a banner instead of a big block

    peace
