I have only 2 cent a click for my wallpaper site. I know wallpaper sites have low payouts but it used to be 5 cents and its getting worse and worse everyday. I keep blocking mfa and low cpc sites but those sites keep appearing on my site. What should i do to get higher earnings for a click?
10% is very high.. and if you get a lot of traffic that means a lot of clicks.. are you getting several clicks for only 2 cents?
how should i know if i get several clicks for only 2 cents,2 cents is the avarage. Thats what i find strange i have high ctr but low cpc
What exactly are your numbers for your unique visiters? I think its best if you try pay per impression.. if you're making 2 cents off a thousand impressions.. you can easily make $2 - $3 with pay per impression..
thats not what i was saying. You are suggesting that i told i get 2 cents per 1000 impressions,thats not what i said. I get 2 cents a click.
@8everything Hmmm pay per impression... Is there really an ad service that offers arrangements like that?
Okay, sorry about the misunderstanding. That is now.. but it is fairly common for your specific type of niche. Ever tried.. rewording your keywords and content a bit so other ads appear (do you notice the same frequent ads?) There's fastclick... (those annoying smilie ads, they're everywhere)
1. if you change your template - SEO you may have more DIFFERENT adsense topics displayed and higher paying ads appearing example http://members.home.nl/yourdesktop/anime.htm your meta title is: <title>Free Wallpapers - Anime Wallpapers</title> i definitely would REMOVE the "Free Wallpapers" that you seem to have on every page and add a more page related keyword title after the second part of your titles 2. you are very definitely missing a most important adsense revenue on all pages - horizontal link units all on TOP of each page 3. your bottom adsense unit and your own link-text JUST above that unit "Click here for more Wallpapers" while your text is a link - of course you intented ppl to click on the ads below as well - which in turn might be interpreted as inviting to click ads >> against TOS in addtition that bottom unit is NONE of the G-published 3 successful units 4. since you focus on your meta title so much on FREE ... example http://members.home.nl/yourdesktop/highresolution.htm the 2 adsense units on top of your page - i.e. the 2 336x280 unites totalling 8 ad-slots - ONLY 6 nslots occupied hence you offer more ad-slots than advertisers bidding - thus reducing bidder price ( see my blog on that topic ) also since you focus on FREE wallpapers 5 out of the 6 advertisers offer FREE products hence free stuff-business always are low bidding business 5. furthermore on a.m. URL you have adsense units with google_ad_type = "text"; that means you exclude image ads and video ads !??? why FGS ? i have every once in a while image ads or even video ads v- both are much higher paying than plain text ads by restricting advertisers you reduce competition and hence you plan to lose $ as well - the less competition you ALLOW - or with other words - the more competition YOU EXCLUDE on your pages, the cheaper advertising becomes for the remaining bidders you must love them a lot final point i too have wallpapers - all selfmade - with some 2+k pageviews/day and i am doing all fine the past months and days as well the global competition grows - so does the challenge to improve day after day or you get lost in the ocean-waves of dynamic competition p.s.: you have a few truly beautiful wallpapers! some of them at least however seem to have NO wallpaper size ... just ANY size
I have a generic wallpaper site, and 2 - 5 cents a click is the norm for me. Interesting tips from Norm above, will be looking at his post in more detail. However, it is helpful to wrap a business model around a low payout so you know how much work and traffic is required to make a decent income. Any niche can fluctuate in how much is paid out per click, so this way you are just happily surprised when you make more! My 2 - 5 cents tasty
I think i did all the suggestions you made to me ,hans. Please revieuw my site again and tell me what you think.
YES now it looks perfect with your titles on each page - allow google up a few weeks until the next google mediabot run is over on all pages until the ads will change also ADD a horizontal link unit 5 links ALL the way on TOP of each page - top center. create a new channel for the link unit - you may get surprised !! i make up to a few dozen $ / day just from those top link units - in average around 20-30+% of the total revenue !! remember the link unit is in ADDITION to the max 3 ad units on each page! if you add more wallpapers - you may want to create more SUB-sections with more different precise titles the more different precise titles you have - the more different categories of advertisers you invite make sure you participate in the "advertise on this site" it is well worth it!! understand that if you have a large site/large visitor numbers you WILL/may most likley attract good advertisers for CPM - they too have to compete with text ads no worry about $ the more advertisers compete the higher the $ until all bidders have reached their max $ limit
Thanks for the info, 8everything! @Hans Great tips dude! Will keep this in mind when I adjust my ads. Thanks!
re my ADD a horizontal link unit 5 links ALL the way on TOP of each page - top center. i really meant on TOP of each page - very top - NOT just above the 2 rectangular units. the TOP position for links is by far my most successwful link position $-wise! i also would make the link colors standard blue like regular links instead of green. also be flexible with the number of ad-UNITS you place right now for example I view your page highresolution.htm and in the 2 rect ad-units on top of page i see only a total of link-3 ads - hence from your total offer of 8 ad-slots 5 slots are free that makes the prices DROP down of course some advertisers use geo-targeting and in other countries there might be more ads appearing also in such cases of limited advertisers - to have 2 different ads - like your top potisiton rectangles in different Successful formats" mihgt help to increase the number of advertisers appearing - example: a 336x280 PLUS a 300x250 side by side - instead of two of equal format may show different advertisers generally the 336x280 brings more$ than its smaller partner in caÅes of limited advertisers i reduce to 1 single ad unit - the most expensive one 336x280 - until all ad slots are filled a complex channel system allows me to adapt individually and adjust demand and offer of ad-space to keep pricing UP! i wrote about smart pricing in my blog (below sig link)
