hi everyone i used to run a large file hosting service, used to get around 30,000-40,000/day ( with max of 70,000 ) google adsense impressions with daily earnings of $10-15 , ecp $0.4 and click rate of 0.5% , since was not making much money i reduced free bandwidth and of course i got less traffic and ended up having just 2000 impressions a day, when i was about to quit i changed position of the adsense and everything changed, since August 2009 i am getting average $5 ecpm and 4-5% click through rate. Question, shall i risk it and increase traffic ( higher bandwidth costs ) since i found the key position for adsense or u think low traffic means higher quality clicks? The thing is that since August 2009 the rates are that high so it cannot be just coincidence... what do u think? thanks
I would advise You to run A/B testing adsense .blogspot .com/2006/08/abcs-of-ab-testing.html (can't post links - remove spaces) not only with position but with color palette and ad block sizes to find the best solution for Your site. That would definitely lower Your risks in Your campaign.
Check the categories in which u r getting more revenue and block other categories which u r not generating any money
I would definitely advise going for it again and surely if you are making $10-15 per day with adsense, as long as your daily bandwidth bill is less than that then you are in profit aren't you? Is the url in question the one in your signature?
I'd say go for it again - and try to increase your earnings. It's all about testing ad placements, to see what works for you.
Always check your Return On Investment. If the cost of bandwith total is less than what you will earn then go for it.
