    Hey there,

    I am running a gaming site that is getting around 1,000 - 1,200 unique hits a day but am so dissapointed in the money it makes me, are gaming sites a bad choice when it comes to Google ads?

    Currently I am making between $2 - $4 a day

    Here is the site http://www.Online-Multiplayer.com

    Any comments and suggestions would be much appreciated.

    I dont know about gaming niche whether it is profitable or not but I want to say something abut your ad placement. Honestly telling that the ads placement is very common. You are running games site so you must have pictures of games. You can use picture to integrate with your ads. And why you have keep such a different colors of the skyscrapper ad ? You need to change the color and keep the colors same as your content.

    When you say reviews, is that aimed at making more money with Google ads or are you saying about making more hits which will increase my ads clicks?

    I ment you should start selling games as an affiliate. Review the item and paste the affiliate link :) very easy!

    I hope you mean visirors or impressions when you say hits. Anyway, gaming sites are renowned for their very low payouts.

    True also. But sometimes, we might even hope that visitor would click on the adsense cos G-Ads really have some good website related to games and some were not adware of those type of games.

    Oh, by the way, gobbly, nice layout.

    There's a lot of game sites out there, you need to specialize in a niche to succeed.

    Thanks for the compliment about the layout davcheong :)

    I have a friend that has a few gaming sites but also a fishing site and even know each of his gaming sites gets more visitors than the fishing site he still gets more clicks on the fishing one with over 30 times the amount of clicks.
