I have a very low CTR. Should I try pay per view ads and what are the best networks? Since my niche is photoshop and photography I have a low adsense CTR. Any advice?
I don't see how your niche will effect your ctr so much? Try experimenting with the ads, then try affiliate links ppv payout is low so keep that in mind.
By accident, about 10 days ago I've stumbled upon an article that give some tips for increasing the Adsense CTR. You may find something relevant for you in there... http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2005/03/increase-google-adsense-ctr-by-500/
Search the forum and browse the adsense area to find out how you can optimize your site for the possible highest adsense earnings. What a lot of folks don't understand is that, building a site for making money from adsense is different from building a site for blogging, offering information, selling products and so on. I have seen folks who make more than 5k monthly from adsense from one site. Its possible.
AdSense is the best way to make money, however you need a lot of traffic to be able to monetize good income from it.
To make money off of adsense you need to target money niches.. high paying niches..like health and wealth..
