I have about 4K to 7K of page views per month. I average about 0.84 CENTS per day with adsense. My CTR is about 0.45% average. What can I do to help increase my earnings? I run a website for a college community at Oregon State. Thanks.
Well, a college website isn't a place where you would want to slap Adsense on, just plain ridiculous in my opinion. Other than that, you should try to reposition your ad placements and test which placement works better.
well, I started the website way back in '98 (as a hobby site to let students sell stuff at OSU). adsense came out in '03. so if I knew adsense was going to come out in '03. I would have planned accordingly. anyways.. So far, I have it at the top of the page and one at the bottom. I've tried different link colors, yet not much has worked. Since I began the site makes roughly $40 per month average, which is more than enough to cover the cost of running it ($8/month). But I'm just trying to see how I can increase that a little bit more.
eh? can't seem to post my URL...? well, just google for "corvallis apartments" and my site shows up #2 on the first SERP page. it's beaverchat.
I think you can earn more by selling links and banners than from adsense Its hard to earn more from adsense with a community site. maybe make few sites which are related but better paying and link them to your main site.
