    Hi all,

    Thanks for reading this post. I am a newbie affiliate and have created a site trying to promote online bookmakers.

    <a href=://"http://free-sports-bets.blogspot.com">http://free-sports-bets.blogspot.com</a>

    I have tried, and spend hours in front of my computer everyday looking for ways to get the site earning little money each day. I've been at this about 12 weeks and have only made $2 from adsense. Can anyone give me any advice to help. I'd be happy a present to make $1 a day. I'm willing to spend as much time as nesessary into the sites and methods.

    Maybe someone could check out my site and give me some helpful advice.

    Many Thanks To anyone in Advance for any Helpful Comments

    Regards,
    :)

    First of all, you need to think of a way on how to drive targeted traffic and increase the number of website visitors everyday.

    Targeted Website Traffic x Visitors Action = Money. Increase either one of it and you'll make money!

    It's already been said, but traffic is money, but you can improve your ratio of views:clicks by changing the location of your ad placements, for example the 'link ads' one, at the bottom, is pointless, you could have a nice big banner instead of that. The adverts on the side are fine as far as I'm concerned, although the colours don't match, you should change the colour scheme to match your themes. I think you should hold back on the other sources of income and stick to Adsense for the time being, I'd suggest you mainly work on SEO / gaining more traffic instead of caring about your earnings as this point.

    Most blogs don't make a semi-good income for at least the first 6-12 months, you shouldn't blog for money, you should blog for fun. :)

    The design is awful - check how it looks in different browsers and different browser sizes on browsershots.org - on mine the design is too wide, nothing fits.
    Put more content on - more types of content - all I could see was lists and logos.

    I would need more information to access your situation. Why don't you provide details on the current & exact strategy that you are doing on a daily basis to achieve the results you have so far?

    There are too many ads and logos on your site - to colored. Maybe you should consider adding some extra text.

    how much traffic you get for your site per day? For every site you need traffic.
    And for adsense, the best to get traffic is SEO your site, snap on some social sites
    widget like blogcataloge, mybloglog and write some good quality contents.
    Then promote. If you have budget, get some one help you with one traffic method
    and you concentrate another one. I am sorry to say there is no fast way to get traffic.
    Unless you have a very brilliant marketing viral ideas.

    Especially if the main income source is adsense.

    Post good content and the visitors will stick around and click on the adsense ads.
