    I can't seem to increase my adsense earnings on my tech related site. Traffic is increasing but earnings isn't. Is it because tech related people already know about adsense and don't click on it.

    Anyone having success with a tech related site with adsense?

    Probably not as well as non-tech related sites because their users are going to be smart enough to know how to use a search engine to find something they are interested in.

    My blog is the same story... Increasing traffic, same poor revenue. Mainly tech indeed.

    how much do you make on the blog? I do alright on adsense but nothing worth bragging about.

    You answered your own question. People that know about technology will not want to give you money :p

    Not - probably if the user is "END USER"
    but if the user has heard adsense before...PROBABLY
    okay...
    QUESTION is when was the last time you clicked and an ADSENSE?

    blogspot blogs suck to generate revenue out of them. You can't use java in your posts so you can't display small adds in your article that are 100% relevant with the article. i'm going to rehost my blogs and get my own domains so i can use the method i explained above.

    Very true. I wanted to put some Chitika ads in some posts but the damn software won't let me.

    The key to tech sites is to target the ignorant who wish to know about techs. My tech related sites are my biggest earners, not on a eCPM level but shear amount of traffic so total $$$/day wins.

    Blog created february 24th, half-banner on main page, banner on itempages, so far $10+. That's a little bit over one buck a day.

    Don't think it's that bad on blogspot ;)

    Interesting. I was always under the impression tech blogs did well, especially if you use programs with tech-heavy ads like Chitika...
