    Um, you might want to read the TOS. That image could get you kicked out of the program!!!!

    What are you doing wrong? You have hardly any pageviews! Try geting some more visitors! Your eCPM is better than mine, and I make a few hundred bucks a month.

    Edit: That's better. (Screenshot deleted.) Get links to your site, get indexed in directories and search engines. Then you'll get more pageviews and money.

    Edit 2: Tell every one how much you've made in the last month! Earnings info is allowed.

    From what I understand, you can post figures, but not images, however, check it out yourself to be sure.

    The site is just starting to get many visitors. Yesterday the site recieved 3,773 visitors, and I expect it to get more than 5,000 tomorrow after I post something that many are searching for. :D

    What do eCPM and CTR mean? :confused:

    This is my first month using Ad Sense, but as of night now I made $5.73 with 9,001 ad impressions.

    Just earnings!

    Edit: For the number of pageviews you got, that is GOOD!!!!!

    eCPM= earnings per 1,000 pageviews (1,000 times the ads show up.).
    CTR= Click through rate. % of pageviews that generate a click.

    (BTW) My site is http://www.tabwin.com -- None of the ads are relevant to the content on the site for some reason. I added a key words tab above the body tag but I still can't get the ads I want.

    I'm willing to give someone here with Dreamweaver my FTP username and password to edit some of the pages on the site. I'm sorta desperate because i've worked long hours trying to add more content to the website.

    I have the same problem...not enough visitors. Then again, my site doesn't sell or offer anything.
    I don't even know where to begin in getting backlinks to my site.

    You are using googles default colors, people tend to ignore them. Change the colors and look for a bigger size for your ads, it is hard to even notice the box

    http://www.tabwin.com/ info...

    PR 0
    0 back-links
    0 files from the domain indexed in Google.

    It's like Google doesn't even know you exist. Is it a new site?

    You need a much bigger AdSense ad at the top. Like a leaderboard right above

    'Click here to preview the upcoming new look of TABWIN.com'.

    The ads look like SpyWare ads but the site doesn't look like a SpyWare site.

    Is there a way to get $1+ clicks instead of $0.09 clicks?

    No, but if you got 25,000, 50,000, or even more, pageviews a day, you would make a LOT more money then you do now. More pageviews usually = more clicks = more money.

    I've been trying to get indexed by Google since the site launched on April 6th, but no luck. :( Is there a way to make the ads more relevant? The keywords don't seem to work for some reason.Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put a leaderboard above everything else tonight. :)

    My adsense system can show you how. However, it depends on the content of your site. For examaple, if your site is centered around baby names or online dating you wont get more than .1/click.

    That depends on the topic of the site. Web sites on the topics of web hosting, mortgage, insurance, and the mother of them all.....mesothelioma (Think lawyers and lawsuits.) would probably make way more money per click.

    My ads get me anywhere from 3 cents to a little over a buck per click, but on average, I get about 10 cents a day, because I have so little visitors.

    Good point, I'm trying to think of content people would love to see on a page. A question, based on what you saw on my site, how much potential to you think it has to make money -- or how appealing is it?

    Hmmmm. At this very moment I'm thinking about creating an addicting flash game called "mesothelioma" on the site with its own special page. ;)
