    Help! I get 3000-5000 First Time Visitors A Day & I'm Only Making Average $10 A Day.

    I have a adsense account and get 3000 5000 first time visitors daily.
    yesterday I got 4399 first time hits and 134 clicks with adsense and thay paid me $7.00 :confused:

    Is it ok to post that info, if not I will edit it out.

    I just signed up and got a commission junction account and I got lost with all of the advertisers, and I have no clue which ones pay decent and per click.(Im not real excited about the refferal advertisers).

    I would greatly appreciate any feedback/help!!

    How Do I Make More Money With My Site?????????? :eek::eek:

    You could start by letting us know what your sites address is so we can have a look and give you some ideas as to which of the many CJ advertisers would be a good fit.

    There is quite a lot of flashing images that easily distract your visitors so they don't even see the ad unit at all. You need to improve the site to make it more organized with a nicer layout (and get rid of all the blinking). Most users probably just see it and hit close. Are you using Google Analytics? It will give you an idea how long they spend on it.

    What kkrizka said. That site is horrible man. If you had a better layout with the amount of traffic you are receiving you could be making a small fortune. But first work on getting the flashing ads off that site.

    Also check out Google's Adsense heat map. It will show you the best placements for your ads.

    Is your only source of revenue from that site the ads? Send me a PM if you are interested in doing some business together.

    CJ ads aren't contextual like Adsense. You have to choose which banners/text links etc. you want displayed.

    You can't. You have to choose the advertisers, and you only get paid when a sale or lead is made. With the audience you're targeting (and the fact that your site has a ton going on & the ads don't really stand out to be clicked on), CJ probably won't work for you.

    The affiliate programs that would work best for your audience would most likely be Zango - http://www.zangocash.com/, and Smiley Central (and their related products) - http://info.funwebproducts.com/fwpinfo/affiliate.jhtml (or through a network like Azoogle).

    You can also give AdBrite a shot, because they pay per impression instead per click. It might be a good source of revenue for high traffic sites that don't receive a lot of clicks.

    Hi
    I suggest you to look for some other ways to generate income like offering paid downloads to visitors, I mean if they download something from your site you get paid, there are tons of ways to monetize traffic!
    you got all what what we beg for.. lol

    I'm sorry but that site doesn't deserve to make the $10 its making.

    Needs a major face lift.

    Charge something for the downloads, they are pretty good, adsense on the top of the page only and adsense on the side. Clearly separate your image ads from your downloads. It can be done by the way you arrange it, check out WIGOB in my sig. It's a good concept, Myspace pics.

    As above, you have what we all want, lots of traffic! I have taken a look and think at present you need a flashing images warning lol Anyhow it does look a bit messy, the adsense on the left looks terrible, in the small box, i would alter that a little.

    rearrange it, take away the flashing images, re-place adsense, and i see hostgator, thats a good idea, shame i got all the flashing images to get past before i get to it, my eyes die before i get that far down.

    Nice concept nice traffic, the advice here if taken should lead to great things.

    Good luck
