should I spend my adsense earnings on advertising my sites to get more revenue

Invest in SEO Linkbuilding by webdirectory submissions / articles submissions / Press Releasses

Just my 2 cents and of course a litle adwords campaign

 

i use my adsense earnings to buy links to a website w/ high PR and traffic..the good thing is my revenue increase..
i spend $100 to 200 per month for link buying.

 

It is always a good idea to reinvest into advertising. I would say invest as much as you can afford to invest so if you are earning 100 a month reinvest the 100 or 50 depending on where your comfort level is. I wish I would have done more of it back in 99 2000. The good question is what is the best return for the buck on reinvesting earnings?

 

what is "YSM"?

 

Bu don't forget that when you invest adwords and get traffic from it, you also get some other traffic which is not from Adwords. Did you consider the other traffic when you computed the return? The return can just come from your other traffic and your investment on adwords was actually lost. i just guess.

 

zipdisk: YSM=Yahoo! Search Marketing, Yahoo's equivalent to AdWords.

Also, per your comment above, I have sites where the traffic only comes from PPC (sites that aren't indexed in any search engine; not in directories, not linked anywhere else, etc.). So when I look at my daily statistics, there is a clear correlation between the PPC cost and the Adsense income. But I also have sites that have nothing to do with PPC and rely purely on searches.

 

You should not be in this business if you are not prepared to invest a good part of your early revenue.

 

adwords always gave me revenue+
but before go to that step(using adwords), first I did some optimizing to increase %CTR(based on daily visitor without advertising) then I spent $1500/mo for adword and gave me back for $3700/mo

 

Ya, you have to increase your CTR first before investing your money back to adwords. But, since you already used the money in adwords, then, wish you all the best.

 

Why all or nothing? Spend 50% on advertising and save the other 50%.

 

If you are using Google Adwords you have to make sure that your landing page is optimized for your keywords - to keep your bids low. Another good strategy is to to go for low cost PPC programs like MIVA and use that traffic to get click on higher paying adsense ads.

 

I will not suggest you to invest if you can market your site for any method that you can use for free, but if you can't than you should invest in getting more visitors.

I would suggest you start a campaign for a refer a friend and earn $100, via lucky draw and see how many profiles you get added and how much increase you see in your adsense earning?

 

For one day, I got ONLY 2 clicks.
What is wrong?
I bet for the range of $.10 to $.16 each dating keyword.
Thanks.

 

maybe you bet too low.

 

It took me ages to find the right cost for clicks. When i first started my adwords campaign I was receiving barely any clicks, and I had to increase my CPC quite a lot.

 

You have to be very careful in PPC arbitrage

Adwords spending for Adsense revenues is a tricky game, that even the best of us take losses on.

Better off using paid advertising for selling products or services.

Drive free traffic for adsense clicks.....

 

Looking at the YSM Bid Tool, the 38th ad for "dating" was bidding $.20. keep in mind, this is yahoo, not google. But it gives you an idea of where you might stand.

 

After trying for a few days doing adwords and YSM, I think I am losing money. So, I think I will give up. I want to keep my $100 each month to pay for my hosting and domains.
Thanks for your advices.
Jenny.

 

If you are averse to spending on ads, consider learning to optimize for searches.

 

I soon came to that conclusion myself!
