A friend of mine has such amazing success with his Adsense for this site. He only gets about 350 impressions a day, but has a CTR on average 33%. His site makes about $10 a day. My site www.tutorialparadise.com gets around 4000 impressions a day, and has an average CRT of 0.7% and makes not even half of my mates site. Do you think it's because my niche is full of webmasters who know what Adsense is, therefore they don't click? Or, do you think my Ad placement or colours are bad? I have been testing for about 8 months now, have been through about 6 or 7 different positions with different colours and ad block sizes and the way the ads are set out now seems to be delivering the highest CRT. This makes me pretty angry when if I had the same CRT as my mate I would be getting about $90 a day. Unfortunately I don't yet have enough traffic to join the big CPM networks like Tribal Fusion, so I'm stuck with Right Media which delivers a massive $0.20 CPM!!! So still not much success with that. It also makes me angry to think that I'm going to need 125,000 impressions a day to make $100 a day!!! So I need 31 times more traffic to start making a living off my site to quit my day job. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks
"He only gets about 350 impressions a day, but has a CTR on average 33%" WOW, thats amazing. If we get a good traffic, then he will be a millionaire in no time Anyway, CTR depends on many things, like Niche, ad placement etc I suggest you put a 336 x 280 ad unit instead of 468 x 60
I've been getting really low CTR with adsense lately as well. This week I've gotten over 25,000 ad zone views I only got 2 clicks. So I switched to Adbrite ads, and now I'm making $2.00 a day from the CPM ads and my CTR has gone up as well.
