I started a music wordpress site 3-4 weeks back.. Currently getting around 200-300 visitors per day.. The site yields around 0.2-0.4$ per day at a CTR of about 2%.. Is this normal? Can this be improved? please any of you experts review my ad placements? Website is the first link in my signature.. Thanks
It depends on your niche. Honestly I'm not sure how much a click in a music niche is worth. Truth is, 2% is really quite good and based on the figure given, I guess, it must be low paying niche. There's actually an option to add another ad unit. You can always try this out whether it does make a difference.
add affiliate marketing ads. Look for *lead based* advertisers in your niche. These advertisers pay an outright amount for a lead. Read the lead requirements. If you think someone will perform the required action to get the lead, put the ad on your site. Some leads can generate $100 at a time. Check it out!
I'm only seeing one adsense ad unit on entire page. Try incorporating 1 or 2 more. Maybe try link units too. And affiliate programs isn't a bad idea at all.
The adsense income doesn't sound out of wack to me for that kind of site. But I choose niches with classically high CPCs. Maybe you can put Amazon links for people to buy the CD you're reviewing and get a comission on it.
indian music - indian traffic low earnings same prob here US UK Canada Aus get these countries traffic and earn more....
The problem is that you're in the entertainment niche......Google advertisers don't usually pay much in this niche so your click payments are going to be low on average. Like other posters have said you'll probably make more (but not a lot more) if you use affiliate links to actual products (Like cd's or audio downloads like on Amazon) or pay per lead submissions. Unfortunately Adsense payouts are likely to be low for you in this niche, sorry to say! Dan
