    Hey guys,

    I run an image host - www.imagetreasure.com - Anyway, it has a really bad CTR, I am making around $1.50 off 8k impressions. Looking at other sites like mine, I see they are making around $8-10 daily off the same amount of traffic I am getting. Any tips to make more guys?

    Stats:
    imagetreasure - 8,839 - $1.77

    image hosting websites have the curse of bad ctr , try placing ads just above the image on image page

    You'd perhaps be better with CPM adverts? They'd still be pretty low but they'd probably perform better than adsense.

    How many clicks?
    Try different placements , colors and ad formats.

    Okay guys, I decided to ditch adsense and am going to try CPM/PPI.

    Thanks,
    Daniel
