masters of ypn? its not like a game or anything, you just have to have a lot of traffic and a decent click thru rate. what more do you want us to tell you.
a lot of traffic is the main point. Looking at your posts, i can assume you get at least 10k uniques per day? If so, then making more than 20 oer day is not that hard.
10K visitors a day you should be making way more than 20.00 here are my stats I have hardly any visitors and make 40-50 a day, and I have 2 or 3 ads a page so you can divide the impressions by 2.5 to get a real feel of how many visitors I have : Date Impressions $ Earned 04/04/2006 1,120 $52.74 04/03/2006 1,233 $55.91 04/02/2006 981 $47.39 04/01/2006 901 $67.24 Try blending your ads into the page as much as possible without violating TOS, that helped me quite a bit.
Make your ads stand out from the rest content. I went from 2 clicks per day to about 10, and thats with about 150 unique IPs per day. For example, my site has dark theme. I made adsense border and links with light green color and dark greybackground, so when they visit my site the first thing they notice is my ads .
thanx bigtimeadmin and vistrel ( i mean it real big time!) My main site has a white background and I had yahoo light-blue box around ypn ads before I read this thread earlier today. I changed it to white on white (no box) and I think my visitors think those ads are part of the site. As a result, my $ sky rocketed. I'll check today's click ratio tomorrow. Thanx guy ssss!!!
There are a few ways to make more money than you do now. Let's assume that you are getting 2,000 uniques a day that make you $20. So, you make $1 for every 100 visitors. Also, let us presume that you can maintain this average across all your sites. Then, your options are: 1. Create more sites. If you have 2 sites that make $20, create another 2 and double your revenue 2. Increase your CTR. This can be tricky and I usually don't recommend this. I would suggest placing the ads in a visible portion of the site close to the main core content and then leaving the ads alone and working on other stuff. 3. Create more content: If your sites have 20 pages each (say), write more content (another 20 pages each). It'll take time for these pages to be cached and ranked but once they do, in theory you should be able to earn another $20 a day. 4. Get more traffic: This can be done in multiple ways. Submit to directories, exchange links, advertise in newsletters, PPC advertising, sponsor stuff, have your sites in your signature here, include them in your email signature, word of mouth and more importantly: Repeat Traffic. If your visitors see good value in your site, they will come back. Always have an "Add to Favourites" link on all your page. Hope this helps! dfsweb
I would suggest better placment in more visible spots. Try not to make the Ads looks like part of Hyperlinks Keep the links in the traditional Blue color. This works for me. Giving a Try wont hurt.
Content selection is huge too. Yes, content in general is good. But topic will either give you $0.04 a click (like most of mine) or $0.60 a click. If you have the flexibility go for higher paying words and then a little traffic means big money. chad
You are getting around $50 for 1,000 impressions?!?! Would you mind telling us what type of site that is to yield those kind of numbers?
I know it is your little cash cow, but I would love to know as much information as you are willing to share. chad
