Hello there ! I have an anime website, and I use "advertiseyourgame.com" to run ads on my website. I believe, since my website is about anime, it would be best to show Game advertisements (something my audience will like). Currently, I only have one vertical skyscraper ad that is located on the left side of the page. I don't really understand this "cpc" "cpm" stuff. All I want to know is...am I getting good payout ? Looking at all the impressions and clicks I get....can someone tel me ? If I am not, can someone recommend a better advertiser ? This is a screenshot of my payout for October 2009 : http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/4671/earningsoctober.jpg Thankyou !
Your payouts/impressions/clicks are in line with the norm in my opinion. However, there is always room for improvement and optimization. In many cases, your own affiliate ads can pay you a much higher return if you are marketing to your traffic properly. Some networks do pay higher than others, and if that network targets your traffic, then you can make lots of money. All I am saying is, never become complacent. There are many options and avenues for you to take advantage of.
I would commit a suicide if my earnings were so low with so many impressions. Your CTR is too low, improve it. If nothing helps (placement or size change for example), change the publisher program you participate in.
Is it really that bad ?! What do you recommend to improve my CTR ? And what is a better publisher program with game-related ads ?
You have high impressions ... low payout per each click seems to be the problem. try to position your ad closer to the content to encourage more clicks to subset the low payout per click
I think it's good enough for begin monetizing, but if you want to add other ads partner with other ads size, design and position. Maybe it will boost your earning.
You have lots of impressions but less clicks.. I guess you need to figure out the ads that get highest clicks and work through with that
