Hi guys, I have a guitar tab site in spanish. As i have written before, i came to learn that non english niches are really low paying having most of my clicks ranging between 0.01c and 0.16c. This is not a problem for me, after all this is my first "global" website and i like to think of it more of a learning factory than a failure due to lack of experience. Dont forgett that quitting is not a good habit to grow neither! Well.. at the very beggining i was getting really low traffic... 20.. 30 uniques/day... so i set up an Adword ad which worked wonders to drive quality niche related traffic... meaning that i started getting registered users and colaborators (people sending new tabs and chords for them to be added to the site) I kept this until i reach around 300 paid/uniques a day... But then i decided i rather workit slow and with SEO than with paid traffic.. so i cancelled my ADWORD add.. traffic went back to 20..30 uniques/day... i kept adding content... i kept linking with blog comments... but really natural more than forced.. perhaps 5 comments a day with the link on the signature.. now .. after 2 months and after getting a PR of 3 in my first update... i have aroung 14,000 pages indexed and i am getting aroung 500 unique/day from google. All organic.... My Adsense is giving me around 0.25 - 0.80 per day... with a low CTR... and not too many clicks... now... i know this is a SPANISH site... but i am looking for those experienced in monetizing traffic... any ideas on how i can start monetizing this site ? Should i rather remove adsense and try to sell an ebook ? I do get traffic from EVERY single country in latin america and SPAIN .. mainly mexico.. and 5% of my traffic is from USA .. I am adding content on a daily bases.. and this site , regarding content is not even in its 2% of the ammount of content i will add.. which worries me since i am already getting 500 uniques a day... .so i will probably will have to switch to dedicated hosting sooner than i though.... All advice, ideas and opinions are welcome.. best regards!
Keep adding stuff, and your adsense should pick up soon enough Also play around with the placement of the ads
I think you should monetize by other means, if you are only getting $1 a day for 500 unique, it is extremely low and I don't know why it is going to increase dramatically by adding more contents. Affiliate marketing, ebooks, or even a membership will bring you more money. 500 unique is a decent amount of traffic but now there needs to be monetization efforts.
Try and directly contact advertisers who might be interested in placing ads on your site. You might be able to earn more that way. You could even but an ADVERTISE HERE banner on your site with your contact details and who knows someone might contact you soon enough.
I would like to think if I keep on adding quality content to my blog that adsense clicks will pick up. It hasn't really seemed to be that way just yet but hopefully if I can get around 500 Unique Hits a day I will get that type of traffic.
