Hello everyone, I have a Wrestling website with more then 4 years of existence and with over 1,000 visitors (and 4,000 pageviews) per day. A year ago here that I bet on AdSense to earn some money with the site. However, having regard to the visits and pageviews have, the gains are not that many. I have an average of $ 1 per day (both ...). And I would like some experts here give me suggestions to improve my earnings. The site is ptwrestling.net Hug
Luis, you have a great website with lots of content and things to look for in a good website. You should have been placed some ads in there, you probably would have been bringing home a good paycheck each month. Just a tip: I always try to use text ads instead of image ads. You get more money from text ads..
Couple of reason being that the niche is not a buying niche and the CPC isn't that high enough. You might want to use more targeted keywords in your comtent such as wrestling mat, wrestling trophies, etc instead These are paying a more decent cpc. But having say that your usual audeince might no be able to appreciate it.
I went into the wrestling niche a few months back. I just gotta say it was the worst thing I ever did as the CPC was so low and I made hardly anything out of it. I hope it goes well for you buddy!
I guess the ad placements, colors and sizes you have in your site are just okay. What you need is more traffic, and professional SEO for your site. If you want to know more about that, you just have to Google it. You can also hire someone to do the professional SEO for your site in the BST section in this forum. Anyway, I wish you best of lucks in your site!
My advice is to tryout some other ad offers asides from adsense. You can even create a subdomained site selling wrestling stuff. Do a lot of things with your traffic.
What is the current CTR? I dont see any link unit ad. In my opinion i think link unit ads make more fortune then banner or big text link ads.
if you are getting so many traffic so y u r trying still adsense. why you are not selling your advertisement you can earn atleast 200$ per month by selling advertisment
I will try another ads placement along this week. Next week I will try the link ads. Wrestling isn't a great niche on Portugal, that's because I can't sell many direct pub. My actual CTR is +- 0,30% : /
Use 336 x 250 ad block with Blue Color or Red Color Title on the single post. That should work. The best results you will get when your experiement with ad placements on your blog. So never give up while experimenting on your blog, but see to it that CTR is going not too high else you will be banned.
Your website is not showing relevant ads. Try to use text links or make any other website on different topics. Because It may be possible that adsense have very less number of advertisers to this website.
Why not have a look at the book < Adsense Secrets 4.0 eBook> by Joel Comm, it will help you increase your earings!
While checking your site(beautiful website congrats), some points for low adsense income (I feel are): 1. No adsense block in home page 2. If you can provide an English version, it can boost your traffic and income
I think you should check good adsense earner site and then analysis them, you will get more ideas from them.
Half of clicks I have are on the homepage, so remove the ads there is a little out of the question. I will try link blocks soon, after testing some new ad positions text / image. With three ads on every page eCPM dropped!
