Last month i have been busy to optimize my website for SEO so they generate traffic from SE's. Since that is done and they are getting traffic i am getting on the adsense part. I hav been reading some topics about where to place the ads, the size, etc but it doesn't seem to work for me. The 2 websites i am talking about are both game related and have a low CPM rate (nothing i can do about that i guess). Now the problem is that also the CTR is quite low (0,11% average). I see people writing about 2 / 3 or even 4% CTR and i just don't understand how they are doing that. Websites + Adsense stats of this month: http://tiny.cc/0hq1k (CTR: 0,18% - CPM € 0,15) http://tiny.cc/e4qmp (CTR: 0,29% - CPM: € 0,60) (Overall this month: PV: 32.067 - Clicks: 61 - CTR: 0,19% - CPM: € 0,20) I hope that someone could tell me what i am doing wrong, if there is anything i could do about the CPM and maybe give me some extra advice about the placement spots.
The Hot Spots for Ads placements are... 1. Top Left hand corner 2. Just under content 3. Right side with a skyscraper Hope this helps..
I have those 3 spots used in those 2 websites (not all 3 on each site) but it doesn't give the wished results.
Ofcourse, currently its not going about CPM but CTR. In many guides you read about technical people who click less, etc but will it be that low?
