    I have this site http://www.image-maps.com
    Some stats
    20K+ absolute unique visitors a month
    I use AdSense right now but don't even get a $1 a day. When I hear others making $1,500 a month. Getting half the traffic. Any suggestion would be nice.

    Thanks

    some quickies. the page looks awful and does not represent the purpose. 20k uniques is a big monetisable number but the ad placements are also not correct. You need to add more content and do some kickass SEO. hit the SMO button and spread the word large. change the order of comments - latest first. and some relevant content so google can find more context and give you ad variety.

    Looks like a great tool but you really need to have more content on the site for Google AdSense to pick up and make more relevant ads appear on the site.

    like everybody already said, get more relevant content. You got to have high paying keywords to get more money... Search google and you will find a lot of tips!

    For example, visit:

    Change all of those text Ads colors (color of the link) to the same blue color that the rest of your site has.

    With 20k unique a month I would make around $550-600 a month, that's just me. ;)

    You should look into selling Ad space on your site for Buy-Sell-Ads.

    I have a friend that makes good money from them.

    Thanks for the info. I know it is not the best looking site. I am a developer not a designer. So I will work on making the site not look so awful. Also I get emails on people asking questions and I can write articles/tutorials based on those questions.

    Thanks for the info.
