Hi, my name is Ryan and i've created a website text-based game called Sea of Shadows, seaofshadows.com. It's growing fast, it's been online for a week now and has over 140 players and counting daily. I have placed ads about 2 on the site right now, 1 on the right side of the page a Vertical skyscapper, and at the bottom - image horizontal banner. Right now for starting out I've been making between $.80 - $1.00 a day. I want to know if this is good so far? Every day my amount goes down by a few cents and less clicks. I want to know if my ad placements are positioned well and what I can do to bring in some more money off these ads. I don't wanna just fill my site with advertisements, I want to keep them spaced out because it's a game and I want everyone to have fun on my site and enjoy it meanwhile I use the ads to pay off the server and also bring in some cash because it's a second job right now and maybe one day a full-time job. Does anyone have any pointers they could give me? Thank you very much, Ryan.
Here's a thought - ppl would go to your site to play the game right? In that frame of mind, ppl are less likely to click. But you don't have to get rid of your Adsense ads either. I'd suggest that you compliment them with a CPM ad network like ValueClick. That way you get compensated for your traffic as well.
