Content vs flashy nothing and a bunch of banners

    This is frustrating. I spent months working on a site with real content with direct ads 100% related to the page. And I made a more ad spammy site about how to get webpages going, it took 1 day. The spammy site is making money.

    Do most full time affiliates design sites for complete retards? This seems to be key.

    I think you must not put too many ads that are the same. So, that your site will not look like a spam. And it is always correct to have more contents on your website.

    well most people are just one step above retarded so partially yes.

    getting someone to click on a site is hard so they need to get an instant response from people cause otherwise they wont click or remember its sad to see the human brain be stimulated only for 5 seconds to make a decision but that's how it is

    Can't really say without seeing both sites.

    But, yes, most people are pretty stupid. I mean, look at the ones on this board.

    What may be hapening is that the visitors are preoccupied with the content to read, while the one with more ads get more clicks because there is nothing there, really, to preoccupy them. You get just a few more clicks out of them.

    Also, maybe the ads are just better, more targetted on the one making more money? ... It is placed better???

    well LOL.... 2 years developing a software, almost a month developing a site (@e-lephant.org) and earning approx 0.1-0.2$ a day from ads...

    users just don't click ads if you don't shove it in their faces in a brutally ugly way!
