    Hello, I own a graphics site: http://anothera.net

    I have been putting up with this kind of eCPM for years but I think I'm quite fed up with it now. Does anyone think I should switch advertisers, or something? Any tips welcome.

    Note that this is AUD, which is like 0.8705 U.S. dollars

    It's not good. But since your website is graphics based so the eCPM won't go very high with adsense, which is text based. You can combine some other ads network together to get more revenue. Such as infolinks for in-line text ads, and also gumgum for in-photo ads.

    Hey Grey Thanks so much for telling me about gumgum, they seem great, hows the pay?
    I will try them. What category do you think my site is best suited, Entertainment, Tech or Misc? Cause there's no design category.
    My site's affinity for tech is 1.7x in quantcast.com/anothera.net

    I asked this question in adsense forums but they said to improve ad placement and eCPM will improve .. in other words, put ads in the content lol. Should I?

    Infolinks isnt working for me. I've contacted support at infolinks.com but they havent responded. Kontera is working though, but the pay is much less from what i heard

    I've looked at your site and it seems to be a placeholder site only with no content only adsense and panels. Maybe the database is down?! Anyway, to increase click throughs you need to make your content as relevant as possible and place the ads correctly between the content. That way the ads will be more targetted towards your users and they are more likely to click through. Hand in hand with that will be the coloring of the title tags of the ads. Make sure they match the color of the rest of your site and things should work much better.

    Thanks for the info. Damn why does the database go down sometimes? It kind of happens to me sometimes too, weird. I'll try contacting host on this issue.
    Well the ads are natural at the moment, they are my site's link colour. so no problem there, and I think gumgum will be enough advertising for content now, heh.

    hosting dont generate traffic , they just keep them close . Poor hosting will turn they away by showing all type of errors , like downtime , error database...etc . About related tags , u need to talk to infolinks customer support . they will give you the additional code

    This is really a bad info to me as u got much higer impression but got only $64 for this. I would suggest u to change other CPM ads which could pay u a high balance each month.
