Hey guys. I'm having a really low payout for my website, could you please help me out? My website is at http://www.vistarewired.com I get about 1-2 unique visitors everyday, average of 1.5K. But everyday on average, I get no more than $2. Thank you for your suggestions and advice. (Btw, I know my header is oversized xD)
Well, it looks like you only have 1 Text Ad. You're allowed 2 more. I would place at least one of those above the fold. Use maybe a banner type text Ad where there are 2 Ads side-by-side. I would also suggest getting rid of the default border around your Ad. But be careful of the images-next-to-Ads new rule.
Is that 1-2 unique visitors? Or 1-2 thousand unique visitors? If it was only 1 or two visitors per day, I could see your problem right there lol. The first thing for me was that it took awhile to load. That could just be my internet, though. That's a big deal for some people, though. Not everyone has high-speed internet.
I had someone tell me once that Ad's on the right side were less likely clicked up than that of the left side - if it was true or not, I'm not sure. Have you looked into using any advertisers other than google?
thanks for the compliments, but is it normal i'm getting less than $2 with 1-2K hits? surely i am doing something wrong with such little payout xD
Where does your traffic come from, if it comes from non targeted places , people may not be interested in your ads.
put your ads on the left side and then make the links blue same as your navigation in the left for blending...
and and blend your main navigation(HOME, ARCHIVE...) with your link unit at the top, same style underlined normal link like in your link unit...i think blue would be best...
my hits come from digg, stumbleupon, and most of them are from google. i get a couple of hits from other blogs and forums but not a lot. i didn't really think it would be a good idea to put it on the left because there would be this empty white space on the right and the sidebar already has a lot on it. i also dont want TOO many ads on my site
only move the goole ads on the left not all your ads...cause in general navigation is found in the left side... i think you can afford to move some of your navigation on the right...and it will appear on the upper fold of your page... underline your links for blending... your footer is a little off center or is that right aligned...
