Hello Everyone,

I got 6,754 page views 91 clicks and earned just $2.78. Its quite often that i make those clicks and earn upto 3-4$ per day! need your help and suggestions what should i do! I m really upset.....
my site is http://www.totalmasala.com


Thanks

 

Your only 22c off $3....it's not that big of a deal.

 

i think these days publishers are earning very low than before ..

 

totalmasala, i suggest you run private ads. they will give you more money. I can advertise on your site if you wish.

 

Hey don't worry I got 55pence for a month you are doing well manage your content on your site put some new content pages on there. Have you targeted your advertisers giving them details about your site? It can help get more clicks.

 

Try to identify high paying keywords related to your theme and stuff that with in your forum headings. Do refine each words in the pages showing more impressions than other pages.

 

I accidentally clicked one of your adds thinking it was actually a Forum Section, nice integration

 

Oh, and that seems against TOS.
The images appear to have a relationship with the ads --> that is not allowed.

 

Man.. I think you are walking a thin line there. I bet most of those 91 clicks are accidental clicks, mistaking ads with forum threads.

Those kind of clicks are low quality traffic, as soon as some one realize he clicked on ads he would hit the back button.

I think there are 2 possibilities. Either Google is discounting many of those clicks, making them invalid. And if it is thats happening you might end up in trouble.
Or you've got smart priced as the landing sites are meeting the goal.
Either case nothing (as keyword refinement, restructure your site etc etc) can change your earning unless you start sending quality and real traffic to the Advertisers. Do not trick people on clicking your ads, insted make them easy to spot but distinguishable so anyone interested in ads would go to the site. that will earn you more amount with less clicks.

 

this is very little , try to improve your ad placement you should earn a good money for that page impressions
good luck

 

that seems like a very low CTR to me - try improving ad placement & blending.

Also, "the webmaster" made a valid point about invalid / discounted clicks. I know ity sounds strange, but removing your worst performing / "cheat" ad boxes actually can increase your ad earnings.

Most of all, change - experiment & alter until you find what works!

Good luck!

DoA

 

Fantastic integration. Is this sort of deception allowed?

 

forums generally pays lower since the niche is not exact , but your placement seems to be against the Tos , it is better to earn less and safe.

 

showing CTR and earnings in public is against TOS

celebrity sites don't geting high paying ads

 

yea i guess this may be the reason accidently clicking the ads.

 

Showing gross earning and total impression in public are not against TOS...
However Showing eCPM is against TOS..

 

Change to some other service and/or change your ad placement and maybe you'll get more clicks.

 

Forums naturally have very low click through rates because there are so many regular users they become blind to the adverts. However, if you keep that ad positioning you will remain smart priced and eventually get banned for "invalid clicks".

 

I would suggest you to filter all the sites that have .info and just offering free information. Also filter the blatant MFA.
I filtered them all and notice a significant increase in CPC .
