SearchBliss said: Don't follow the ctr no#, You need to take the amount of traffic you got in the previous month and find out how much money you've made per 200 visitors. Then make changes, wait 6 weeks, then take the 4 31 previous days and find out the money you made for 200 visitors there. The CTR is not something you can rely on as its a fair bit unstable when you make changes. Even if it drops you can get more clicks and then it'll go up and you'll double up on your last time. I got this site that gets about 80 clicks a day but each click is usually worth .03 so its not good. It used to get 30clicks at .06. but then in the middle of the week is jumps to about .10 to .19 a click. For that day and a half or whatever is pulls like 100 higher paying clicks which pays off much more than the last one. Trust me. Your not trying to get more money for each click. Its much more easy to just get more clicks then after your site is doing well you can make little adjustments to double up. But heck what do I know right?

Can i hope some review if your thread haven't closed. my site is new and still child so it want to walk properly. it need strong help.
I was making $1 to $3 clicks. Yesterday I had 1 click out of 3000+ impressions. Today I'm at 2000+ impressions and only 2 clicks. 80% are new visitors. They just don't seem to be interested in the borders and background colors. I have reverted back to the old way, but have removed the underlines on my site's links as to not confuse. I will see if it improves. I just find that people seem to click more on "static blue links"...as boring as this is. Thanks again, though.

You should be trying to get more traffic. Of course if you've only got a total of 10 clicks then that doesn't count because google always pays high for new sites. You won't be able to raise your click worth higher easily and you shouldn't anyway because you are getting paid more than most publishers.
Well, i agree with you most of the time But there can be a role reversal, what happens if he manages to get some No.1 ranking, have you thought of it, it takes times, nevertheless it can be achieved, i have been there, it took me two years to rank in one particular industry (very competitive), lot of them (the SEO's) told me..."heck, leave it man you are fighting a lost war"...well i had put lot into it, so just kept persisting, now after two years..one fine morning....google decided i have been hated enough and threw me to the first page....well i don't want to make any claims about adsense income since then Each individual has his own perception and way to look at things

I have over 10 websites geared for adsense and 3 of them are cash cows. 6 of them are rising stars, and 5 of them I'm thinking are skunks. Markov said: I don't review blogs. Mentioned above why. cashisfilthitakecheck said: Nope. Business doesn't work that way. I have a mother-in-law who always says that she's going to start this $700,000 daycare with one of these special jungle fortress playhouse. She dreams about how awesome it'll be for kids to be able to use this and she says everyone would go there. However........she's making the same mistake as a webmaster with a real estate site. She's dreaming and in her business plan she does not even mention the stats of population. She just says you make a lot of money when people enter without any thought of running costs or loan payments. Business isn't supposed to work that way. If you want to start a resturant then that's fine but running out and saying you want to compete against Mcdonald's is just dreaming. The only way you can compete in the real estate business is with a lot of money because your fighting against competitors who have a $10,000,000 annual budget. Example: I own a dinosaur site. dinosaurfact.net. It has 300 unique articles in it, the design is my own, graphics mine, the site is 1 of 5 of the most updated dinosaur education sites in the world. It gets 50,000+ U/V per month. Its been submitted to over 30,000 directories, is DMOZ listed, submitted to 400+ search engines, has 50 .edu links. The site is powerful among the ranks. It scores at least top 5 for 30 of the highest searches about dinosuars. "Dinosaur facts, dinosaur information, dinosaur pictures, dinosaur sounds............" the list goes on. Webmasters have started sites simular because they thought that its easy, but there sites were soon just banished in the ranks beyond the loads of edu sites. However.......with all of that power you know what? I'll never rank good for "dinosaurs" because of companies like the "discovery channel". It isn't because I didn't do enough work, my site isn't known enough, etc. Its because they are on TV! They are a company with a buildings and hundreds of employee's. You can't beat that.
Very helpful thread indeed. I've read all the posts and implemented some tips on my websites. Thanks GrAveTzT
Mine is a blog is I am no going to post it here. But reading your review helped! Those were good pointers.
