Hey guys, I have had my blog up for about a month now have over 3000 unique visitors and not a single click? I don't get it. I can get the traffic but i can't get any clicks going and i'm trying to get a domain with the money.. So the question is does anyone have any good ideas to get some clicks going? Thanks, p.s link is on my sig if you want to see my site.
i visited your site and first of all it loads very slow most visitors might just give up on the waiting and leave your site, amd i think your ads are hard to see change the positions of your ads.
Yeah it has it times where it will go slow for a bit. I moved the ad's up and added only image ads only. If you can't see the first ad its because i just put it in.
Clicks depend on ad placement. I visited the blog and its more than 1 MB. 1 MB for homepage is not good by any standards! As a reader, I will not look on ads if the content is just 1 paragraph for each post. The long sidebar makes things worse. Secondly, the problem may be with traffic sources. If you use Traffic Exchanges, clicks will not be there/minimum! Analyze traffic, focus on good(more and better) content. Design is not good too. You can not expect people to click ads stuffed into sidebars, there are much more possibilities and with better design, CTR may improve. However, I woul still recommend focusing on content. No offence, but aggregation is a thing of past for now and most of such blogs I have seen are "auto-pilot"! Readers are intellegent to spot them and navigate away!
am writing this reply post while ur website still loading anyway, put not more than 10 posts a page. that might help
I look into your site i quite slow in loading maybe its because of your video... I think the reason why you don't have any clicks its because of the wrong placement of your ads. Find some ideas on the google the placement of your adz in your site to get clicks. Though it is a good..
Yeah, I'm viewing this in Firefox and the ads are all the way to right, off the screen! Fortunately, these types of things are simple to correct. The important thing is to keep your passion for what you're trying to set up, and don't let little things stop you.
Slow load Choppy content No focus Ads off to one side Ads not relevant Ok, if you are going to be a "news" site, then you need to have a layout like a newspaper. That means more than just blog entries with content snippets. You give me nothing interesting enough to click on, so I'll just surf away. More meat is required to keep me there. You bill yourself as a Music News site, and yet you are sellling me.... games. Online fantasy games was what the ads showed me. I came in for Hip Hop Music News, and I got offerd Online Swords-n-Sorcery RPG. Not very hip-hop or musical. Tighten up your layout, provide interesting content for your visitors to consume, and offer them things you KNOW they are interested in (because they came to your site looking for them). Like, say, music CDs, or DJ mixing software, or music site memberships. Focus on what your visitors expect to see, and you will start making conversions.
Well for some reason the ads are not relevant to your sites content that could be a major reason.there too farr to the right for me i wouldnt browse your site or click your ads go for a new layout etc i think it would do well if the site was re-designed.
First at all, you gotta improve your loading. Then, you shall change your ads palcement, three skycrapper is not a good idea since most of the time they will show the same ads since you put them at the same column. Remove two of them and use one rectangular ads and one leaderboard and see the result
I suggest to try and use other ways of promotion to get targeted traffic because you can get 3000 visitors but they may not be interested at all in your site. I can say I can drive 4000 hits to my site but if is not targeted traffic it does not matter. I can get 10 targeted people compare to 1000 who are not I prefer the 10
As all suggested here i think you have to restructure your site..limit putting videos as it slows down the loading of your site. correct the placement of your ads to gain clicks. And and try to read some articles on how to build a good website...It will help you a lot..
