Well I would like to start this thread out by thanking all the members of DP that have been making threads and posts since I have came to the forum. I would have never made it this far without everyone! Now on to the business. Last night I was fooling around on the internet with a site or two of mine (television show streams) and I was looking at my advertisement statistics and noticed with over 4000-6000 unique visitors and 8000-12000 page views daily I was only making a little over $1.20 a day. As I saw this I was determined to make more money from the site with these kind of statistics. Well at last around 2 am I turned to Adbrite for their whole page pop ups. I know these pop ups are hated by many but I decided to try it anyways. Well the ads finally went through about 14 hours later and without ads on the site I had lost over $1.00 of daily income. I was so bummed out about this and also I had seen a BIG loss in traffic. Now my traffic stats are down to about 3600 unique visitors with 6000 page views. As I screamed and ranted about the loss of traffic I forgot to check my Adbrite account and see what I made with my site and the loss of traffic. To my surprise my account had over $1.00 in it from the lower number of page views etc. At the moment my account is sitting at $2.45 with the pop ups only active for around 6-7 hours. The moral to this short story about last night leading into today is that you will need to try new things to succeed on the internet. Don't be scared about the loss in traffic or anything else. If your site is worthy of content then the traffic will keep coming back no matter if you have a pop up ad on your site or not. So just try new things and make some profit everyone!

WOW, 8000-12000 page views/day and only $1.20 in adsense revenue II don't know anything about your website or target audience but there is something seriously wrong about that my worst ranking website gets about 50 uniques/day with about 75 page views and it still makes me over $2.00 per day in adsense might be time to do some tweaking to your adsence placement, colors, size, borders... Just a thought
