What am I doing wrong?

    I use Pepperjam for a couple of affiliates that fit in with my site quite well. I just run their banners on my websites. My stats:
    Impressions Clicks Commission
    Report Total: 125,121 246 $6.24

    Anybody have any suggestions to help improve my results. I use PPC and CPM and both get a lot better return for my ad space. The two affiliates pay a commission on sales.

    you need to stop using pepperjam and start using valueclick, you'll get paid at least $15 for those stats

    It is likely that your traffic is low value, you are not doing enough on your site to prep visitors for a conversion in terms of insiration/information, or your calls to action are too weak. It is more than impossible to say without seeing your website. Even if you happen to be a great swordsman, you can't determine the issue here by looking at 3 numbers; there are just too many factors at play here. If you are ranking for terms like "Funny baby videos" and you are selling viagara, those might be good percentages. If you are ranking for "Buy X online" and you are trying to sell "X", than that is bad and you likely need more visible calls to action. (Think "buy here" buttons)

    rather than just placing banners on your site, you should really SELL the product. Use it yourself and wrote an honest review - talk about its strengths and weaknesses, and what it can give your visitors.

    Try to make your ads more appealing. If they are funny or draw attention, more people will click them.

    Also don't just use banners, try to add links within your content that go to the advertisers site..
    You can also do posts about the advertiser and try to sell them, which also helps;

    its because of your traffic source ,, when you dealing with PPC for CPA ,, you should find quality traffic and not only for quantity,, try using PPV instead of PPC if you CPA player
