Dude 5 clicks and $0.26 of revenue?

Discussion in 'Reporting & Stats' started by some guy, Sep 8, 2006.

    This is such a rip off. I've put work into my arcade site, and didn't add the ads until my traffic was steady in the hundreds. Now I'm getting 3-6 clicks a day and earning so damn low. But this is the lowest, 5 clicks and I earn 26 cents?

    Help me here!!

    That's the way ppc works. You might experiment with ad placement.

    Sounds about right for video game related keywords.

    Help me out? I have an image hosting site that's practically dead. But when it does get it click it's usually $1+ per click! I need some directions on keywords and such. I used keywords which I thought get searched a lot.

    dont worry about it if you only have 5 clicks, built more traffic and come in the xx clicks a day zone.

    Yeah but man, come on! imgjump.com gets low ball traffic, but when it pulls off a click it's $1+? Makes me wonder if I gotten 5 clicks a day from imgjump instead.

    Get more traffic, expirement with ad placement, filter a few mfa sites & see how things work.

    BTW Are you still sure that those five clicks went to an advertiser's website? it's possible that four of those clicks went to PSA's

    No this is all the time. I get paid so damn cheap. And how will ad placement change how much each click earns? I don't mind how many clicks I get as my site isn't that big, but I'm worried about what I earn per click.

    Google isnt the best for payouts on arcade sites, you might want to move on to yahoo, or someone else where you can decide the ads to place which lead to higher paying keywords.

    stop complaining.. do some research. I get this sometimes as well, chances are you won't be getting $1+ PC for gaming site..

    it's so typical of someone who makes sites just for adsense. if this was temporary thing, this comes and goes.

    bummer.

    the 5 cents clicks are hard to take.
    re-position your ads...

    For about two weeks now I have been getting crappy payout like you. Somedays getting about $.07 per click. But today I got 6 clicks and about $3. Didn't change a thing on my site either.

    I am so lost with this adSense - I have Google ads showing up on my site since August 28 (yes, I just 'launched' adSense). Here are the stats since Aug 28:

    Total Page Impressions: 1,250
    Total Clicks: 4
    Earnings $0.00

    Traffic is varied from all over the world. What the heck am I supposed to do to generate my first penny?? My site is http://www.binitagaurav.com << please help!

    Add more ads, like on the bottom on the page. I do get clicks and don't earn a thing from them some times.

    I did not make my site just for adsnse kyoku. I just started integrating it recently to see how it goes. I know I'm not ready to even make $10/month, I'm just saying I should atleast earn $1 per day!

    work harder and don't complain. use cpm ads for entertainment sites. there are different ways to monetize different sites.
