Hi Guys, Hope someone can help, I am pulling my hair out here. Only recently put adsense on my site, it is an established site with good traffic, adsense however, doesn't seem to be working for me... I would appreciate it if someone could just take a look and give some feedback... Thanks... Here's the site: www.volunteer brazil . com
Is that domain correct?? my opera refuses to take me there and then, adsense workss when someone clicks on the links and the revenue from impressions is in cents not $
Yeah , Hareesh... is correct. I am unable to put the complete link for some reason... But it's ; volunteerbrazil. com
What I mean by not working - is not literal - sorry, I can see how it could be misunderstood. What I mean is it doesn't seem to be worth doing it on my site - clicks and revenue are negligible... I wanted someone to take a look at it, and perhaps suggest some improvements...
The 4 unit link ads at the above is OK put a skyscraper ads in the sidebar put a big rectangle ads above the "Volunteer and Travel Abroad - Volunteer in Brazil " text, outside the table the ads in the bottom is worthless/have low CTR the color of your ads is not fully blended with the background, use 'CCFF88' as your ads color, it would match with your site background
When you say it "just not working for me", do you mean, technically not working? or You're not making money? I didn't seem to generate much for me either. I moved onto other things.
You can tweak your AdSense ads further according to tips given by forumers here but I think you need targeted traffic to really make money from AdSense. Write some good articles and promote your site at article submission sites. Do that diligently and you should have more targeted traffic.
Thanks for great feedback... The rectangle? Do you mean the 468 x 60? Placed above the frame border, just under the link unit? I have been considering experimenting with the side-bar menu, which would leave room for a skyscraper... Frankly, I am a little scared as it would mean altering the navigation to other pages Thanks for the colour code, too...
Not working on the money side of it...The site itself is a very good business - and survives in it's own right by providing the services - I just thought I would try adsense to see if it would work... not only that...the business side of it is quiet for 5 months a year...
Thanks will do that... Any reccomended submission sites? I understand some of them are pretty useless
No, the 336X280 Rectangle unit and yes put it above the frame border under the link unit How about making another column at the right as another sidebar and put a long skyscraper unit there? the key is to place all of your ads above the fold
OK , put that rectangle above the frame - not sure if I am keen on it though (I do appreciate your help - dont get me wrong)... Doesnt look right somehow, think it makes the page look tacky.... - or is it just me
yeah...but it's work for me I got 5% CTR almost daily you do need to experiment to find placement with reasonable CTR and suit your taste
Thanks for your tips - I will try some things...but the colour tip was great... I will try that rectangle on a page other than the front page...and test it... Any more ideas would be appreciated - thenks again...
Tried 3 different channels on 3 pages that get good hit rate - lets see if it improves ... http://volunteerbrazil.com/myPictures/carnaval.html http://www.volunteerbrazil.com/ http://volunteerbrazil.com/streetkidsproject.html Fingers crossed.... thanks for your help - any more tips?
