I use do follow social bookmarking sites to get PR juice to help me rank in Google. Digg users do click on ads I don't know for others but for me Digg traffic is number three top sources of traffic for adsense profit after Google and Yahoo. I guess it depends on your niche after all. If they are suitable with the crowd of the particular social bookmarking site you will see these sites are profitable.
yes this is true that social bookmarking sites are useless. i also get only imps from social bookmarking sites..not clicks
For revenue any of these sites would be appaling, but they certainly open up doors. There are some that will grant you a free dofollow backlink (i.e. Digg, Mixx, Mister Wong etc) and the important thing is that if your article becomes front page news then people will naturally link to it, which will aid your search engine presence. You just need an absolute gem of an article.
You're right, reddit and digg are not instantly useful for adsense since the clickrate is so low, but then you can get a lot of backlinks if people find your article worthy of being blogged about. And more backlinks will mean visits from non-social bookmarking users, and also increased traffic from search engines users. So reedit is USEFUL for adsense in the middle to long term if you can catch the interest of reddit audience!
Organic Traffic comes from search terms, like if an individual searches for "discounted coffee mugs" then he is looking for something to buy, when they reach your site with that keyword and find an advert on someone displaying adsense saying "buy cheap coffee mugs at xxxx.com" then they will click that ad But if someone comes from reddit where you have written, "found some excellent price on coffee mugs" the visitors come there to read your content and not looking for something to buy So run your imagination which traffic converts well for adsense
i aggre.. reddit is useless i thought reddit member are writer,,,, so their member is hunting for our fresh article.. becareful
No wonder. Social bookmarking traffic are not that good to adsense. But any one can judge what may be the possible reason? Are there any research or metrics around this area? Do let us know.
Traffic doesn't click,but it will surely bring you possible clicks.Improve your content and ad placement.
I think the reason for people not "clicking", is most people who use social bookmarking sites know what the internet is about, and know about adsense. Internet 'guru's like ourselves rarely click adsense ads haha
