Getting Traffic, but not sales

    Any advice, recently one of my websites has been getting much more traffic about 2500-4000 UV a day. This is down to google news and google images.

    The problem is i'm getting about 25-40 clicks a day but no sales?


    is this a good amount of traffic to be making money?

    How many ad clicks am i looking at to make serious money?

    How are you monetizing your site...banners or individual products my experience

    Banners = little $
    Products = More $

    Why do visitors come to your site...to buy. All my sites are designed to sell product. The only way a visitor finds the site is if they are looking and serious about buying.

    I just wanted to suggest trying to further contextualize your ads. Look for soccer and sporting good shops, online tickets for sporting events, world cup gear, balls, coupon codes for soccer sites, etc. Maybe even try sports betting type sites if they're avaliable over just betting and gambling. It might just be that credit cards and online gambling are saturated and don't convert when blindly thrown at your audience. Try to get in the heads of your readers - what do they want? Then try to make your ads as specific as possible; present them with an offer or shopping opportunity they can't find anywhere else or just plain haven't heard of yet. I don't know anything about sporting niches but maybe depotgang or others can give more specific tips. Best of luck to you.

    One more suggestion on advertisers... maybe the green card lottery that's an affiliate program under CJ? You'd have to play with it to see if it converts but might be worth *trying*.

    25-40 clicks/day is not going to bring you much $$.
