Hey, new here... got only 1 site up atm - have been doing site building / Adsense about 6months...I have had sites before this one but currently this is the only one i;m hosting! I have only managed to reach 1 payment so far of 100 dollars but that was only recent after about 5months!! now I get like maybe 1 - 5 clicks aday which make me like 1 - 30 cents! I know I need more sites, i'm not a complete idiot in the field of adsnese lol but to all the pro's out there and people on here that do make like $100 a day could you give me some advice? tell me where i'm goin wrong... and how I need to improve and what I need to do to reach that milestone. I haven't been fully committed up to this point I must admit but now I am and am willing to take the advice of anyone here... any help from someone who does well on adsense would be much appreciated!!! here's my site: www.gervaisworld.com Just if you could tell me maybe were the placement goes wrong...or how to get much more traffic!! and other tips!!! cheers.
Hi, I'm not an expert in coding but have learned by doing for four years. You will probably get a lot more answers from those who can help you better but to give you a quick answer I see coding problems. There are no keywords in the code and not many on the page also I don't see a description of the site in the code. I'm not sure what program you are using to put the site together, if any, but even free ones cover the basics of page structure. Also, use a stylesheet. Your adsense block is in the right place on the page for that type ad but I believe it is too far down in the code. You need more traffic and there are several things you can do to help with that. Check your overall impressions and your ecpm and compare them with examples found here on DP and in the adsense help section. Keep reading posts in this section, others have had the same questions. I don't know this guy in your site but as long as he stays popular you will do better.
Ricky Gervais? about the biggest celeb around atm funniest too! I designed this site manually from scratch in photoshop, sliced in ImageReady then saved as html...then create my pages from there in Dreamweaver and I host my sites with a hostgator account. The reason I made a Ricky Gervais fansite is because: 1. He is very popular at this time 2. There is only about 3 other Ricky Gervais fansites at the moment, so not much competition so I figured get in there early! 3. I am a huge fan so I always believe in doing sites you are passionate on that way you are likely to put more effort in making it the best you can. Anyway the sites been up probably about 2months - I used to be at the top of google searches for stuff like 'ricky gervais fansite' I've dropped abit still always in the top 10 though.. I think this is because I turned on my WhoIS protection in my namecheap account which I hear can damage your rankings... anyway for Gervaisworld I average out at about 100 uniques aday and about 300 - 500 page impressions..is that any good for the time it's been up? I have 75 reged users in the forum but to be honest I think this was just because of a swarm of traffic when the podcasts were out and I used to get like 200+ uniques a day but it's died down now, last month I had like 300,000 hits in total but again I think because of a major temporary swarm for the podcasts... So far this month i've had like 85,000 hits and as I say am getting about 100 uniques a day... umm so yeh any advice at all from any one would be much appreciated!! by the way l1tilr thanks for your input!
IMHO, i'd say you need more content - TEXT content, to pull in the google-searches.. also, be wary of putting Adsense on pages with copyrighted material, and pages with videos.. TOS ya know.. .
$100 after 5 months... not too bad for a start. I didn't do that well when I started it I'd say keep doing what you've been doing so far that you got to this point. And I agree with Tearabite... you need more and more text content.
