Hello everyone, I run a member based Pro Evo 6 website called www.backofthenet.info I currently get 8-10k page views a day and about 200-250 uniques, however i usually only end up with 10-15 clicks worth a few dollars in total. Which is pretty poor in my eyes. I have experimented with ad positions but because we have many page hits from the same user [remember its member based] they dont tend to click the ads much. Can anyone please give me any advice!! Thankyou
200 unique generate 8000 page views? A link unit on the top (near "home" "forum") will perform quite well. Also you can put a large rectangle ATF on the right sidebar. Making your AdSense links blue could improve your earning too.
Yes 200-300 people a day generate 8-10k We have a very high retention ratio of users. They come back many times a day to use the site - which is great in some ways lol. Thanks for the advice, I will try a link unit at the top by the home / forum links When you say large rectangular ATF what do you mean? [I dont know the synonym] I currently am with vizu who placed CPM polls there when they are available which perform well but only appear 10% of the time which means overall they aren't that great. Cheers
What's your target (keywords, markets, etc)? If your target has ****ty paying keywords, then that's that, unfortunately
Cheers for the reply... I setup the site pretty much because I wanted a site to do it, so I set it up to fulfill my own requirements - I didnt design it for adsense...only then a year later i figured I missed a trick. Anyway its a soccer / football / gaming site [at present] which seems to perform poorly on cpc. My thoughts were to try improve CTR to improve revenue as its currently at ~0.17% which is reaaaaaaaally poor from what ive seen! P.s. I stuck the link unit by Home / Forum and added it to a custom channel so we will see how it will perform
Try to use the large rectangle ad. It works very well. One more thing: try to blend yur ads with the content of your pae as much as you can like I do here for example: http://www.e-articles.info/e/a/title/32-bit-Windows-Vista-vs.-64-bit-Windows-Vista/ Wish you good luck!!
I thought I would reply to let you all know how im getting on, plus it may help someone with the same problem. I have had no success yet with the link unit, but it has only been a day so I will have to wait to get more info on that. More importantly I went to google adwords and researched high paying keywords in and around the area of my website's subject matter. I found a couple of high paying ones so I modified my meta tags and put a bit of related info around the site and the adverts started showing up and am getting a lot more per click - which is great! It's a step in the right direction. Thanks to everyone who gave me some help
