all those clicks could have been thousands of dollars in affiliate commisions. Do the smart thing and do that instead of adsense
change site's theme or language (if not english) should help. my site's theme related to travel information, and eCPM is about $2-6 .
Have you tried contacting google in this regard? may be you are getting high number of clicks/day due to invalid clicks that do not earn you a single penny!.
I've contacted google a few times and it seems that they dont care that much about a small time publisher like myself. lol. Never got a response except the automated thanx for contacting us email. blah.
What key words are you using to get 4cents per click. Maybe you should target higher paying key words.
Running a smart ad campaign is has much to do with trial and error. I agree with Tearabite- try out different forms in terms of page layout, sometimes placing the ads in different locations or removing an ad so that the page feels less loaded can help. If you're considering an additional ad network, I'm from Kontera so I can answer further questions. Mika, Kontera Optimization Team
Definitely. It's hard to say without knowing the nature of the site in order to know what affiliate programs are suitable. But really, with 250 clicks per day, even if only 1% convert to sales they could easily be earning a couple of hundred per day with a good commission based program. Screw google. They're ripping you off.
So, how old is your site? How many hits are you getting per day? How often do you update the content on your site? Keep focussed on creating a quality product and the money will follow. You'll end up getting nothing but frustrated if you think of nothing but the money. Good luck, Cheers, p.
I've removed the competitor block because it was just lowering my income. I mean the few sites that made money on it got like 10 clicks for 1.30 as to when I don't have the filter I get like 50 clicks for 2 dollars so I will take the extra money even if cpc isnt good. It doesn't matter how I make the money, as long as it is money. I'm just going to keep building content and make a few small sites more and just hope for the best. It's nothing I can do that could help.
I would recommend you to use 'goodtolove.com' I don't know anything about adsense but I made $167 in my first month with it and loving it. My minimum click rate is 4 cent but I have also got upto $2.36 I don't how but I have just entertainment contains.
