I agree that it's the traffic that's problem. You need to get thousands of page views PER DAY in order to make some chump change. couple thousand page views for $6 sounds about average to me.
It is.. They closed their doors a few months ago.. That is why Yahoo Publisher Network probably would not be a very good alternative to Adsense...
Lots of people think AdSense is the best of them all, but I agree that you should try a few alternatives. At least we know that AdSense pays us 70% of the revenue from advertisers.
You mean selling of some products? I think It's hard for me to sell anything at my blog, since people come to my blog to find freebies!
Yahoo! Publisher network accept people from US and Canda. So it is not a good alternative for rest of the users. I recommend infolinks and Chitika if you are not using adsense. Again adsense is the best paying CPC network compared to any other in my experience. Another option is direct ad selling if you have a popular blog.
I think you are not completely fail with AdSense....you still make some $$$ with AdSense.... what you need is to do research about getting high CPC keyword and increase your ads CTR( maybe your ads placement are wrong).... i think that just your problem....if you overcome both of that problem...I'm sure you will be able to make money with AdSense...
the best alternative to adsence is promote affiliate products with banners where there you dont need to worry about ad TOS etc however working on jobs is also a good option if you can build a long term relationship with me just join my team and start working at desklancer.com
Try to change your placemnt or change color may that work because adsense alternative is very diffult to find adbrite and other are not so good
