    I have had CJ and Linkshare ads on my site for over six months now and have not gotten any clicks. How do I get clicks on my ads to earn money. http://nopolicestate.net .

    Every site is different so you will have to experiment. Try different types of ads and different placement. If you have banners, try text links. If you have link units, try skyscrapers. If they are all in the right-hand column, try placing some of them between blog posts. Maybe try one underneath your navigation.

    With CJ (and maybe with Linkshare... I'm not sure) you can actually have plain text links that you can fit into your actual content. If you are talking about the iPhone, make the word "iPhone" into a link that goes through CJ to the Apple store. It's relevant, it helps your users, it helps Apple and it's the most likely ad to be clicked on of any type.

    You didn't mention your Google ads in your post... I presume that means that the Google ads are getting clicks ? If they are, maybe the problem is that the other ads aren't relevant to your content and the Google ads are. Maybe you should try changing your ads to advertise different products.

    Lastly, take a look at your site and your ads. Ask yourself: "Would I want to click on any of these ads ?"

    You need traffic first. Might want to check around and read on how to do that. :)

    Your links aren't relevant to your topic which is probably the problem. The last 2 topics on your blog are you writing about wondering where your blog is going. So, need to find out what you want to say first, put a ton of content in there surrounding that topic, and that should drive the traffic. Then you can add on topic ads from CJ, Linkshare, etc.

    I agree to Loonm.
    First, you should have any trafiic. No traffic - no sales.
    Second, the ads must be relevant to the topic of your site.
    This is called targetted traffic or targetted ads.
