    Six months to get to $94 - still waiting for my first $100 payout

    My traffic to my article directory is great but it doesn't seem to be converted into adsense income!!!! argh!.

    There displays don't seem to be matching up with my hit stats. I know I don't have adsense on the front page but its all a bit confusing?

    If it is article gems it is probably because on both the pages i went on 4 of the ad titles were the same. People wont click on them if they are.

    6 months for $94? the conversion is very low, is the CTR high enough? or CTR is good but the CPC is the problem, let us know so we can give our opinion.

    Why don't you have ads on frontpage? My most revenue is generated from the index page of websites.

    I think he must put ads there which have the google search.
    This will have as a result more profit.

    When I look at the pages my eyes go directly to the list of articles. I don't notice the AdSense on top. Blend some ads in the middle of your list. Use 300 x 250 or 336 x 280) Put about four or five articles then the absence block and then the remaining articles. Also get some ads on the index page.

    The thing is, people go to article directories to submit articles and not necessarily to find ionformation, which is vitally importaant when it come s to earning clicks in adsense. The more people searching for information the more likely the clicks.

    The search engine hits are slowly picking up. But I don't know why the "Make Money" type of ads keep coming up - some sections like recipes and some health ones bring up specific type ads, but 90% of the site keeps bringing up "make money ads" - annoying.

    That's about like me too. Good thing I'm not trying to get some money off of this. Just trying to get some bucks for my users to make things better.

    I didn't even notice the ads on your site. I really had to look for them. They should be the things that pop out at you.

    Test some ads on the top of the front page,under the title,where google search is.Move google search to the middle of the page.You have good traffic.Maybe some visitors are coming to your site and looking for something else.Give them AdSense on front page.
