Hi, I am frsutrated about not making money, despite spending big on design. Please suggest ways to improve revenue My site is at http://www.ebulawa.com thanks
I will put in your suggestion as soon as i go home. Please, help me with some more suggestions. Most of my users are from Asia/canada/Europe and few from middle east/africa. None or very few from N.A In anycase, we are still working on our site. thanks for valueble suggestion.
The site seems too busy. What do you do? There isn't a focal point of what the site is for. How do you make money? The invites are free.
change: ad border to FFFFFF ad background to FFFFFF ad links to 0000FF add a leaderboard (728x90) to bottom of page under "post your local events" and put the images you have in "make your invitation" and "make an announcement" above the ads (like in my thread here) and btw, this design that cost so much, the bullet point images are missing: http://www.ebulawa.com/images/bullet_img.gif good luck, and remember, having adSense on your site is not a garnered income of $1000.01 a day. Remember that "spending big" is relative.
Part of the reason, to loose context of my site, is google adsense. This is what thy said Hello Sridhar, Thank you for your email. I understand you are concerned about the particular types of ads served on your site, www.ebulawa.com. We are constantly revising our content targeting algorithms in order to deliver the most relevant ads to web pages. While this system works very well, there are a small number of sites where ads are contextually targeted, but not precisely according to the publisher's preference. Regretfully, the page you sent us appears to fit into this group. We thank you for bringing this to our attention, as your feedback will help us improve our content targeting servers to address this issue in the future. With regard to possibility of selecting alternate advertising categories, at this time, AdSense only targets ads based on overall site content, not keywords or categories. However, if you'd like to display ads related to specific topics, we recommend including more text-based content about these topics, including complete sentences and paragraphs, to assist our crawlers in gathering information about your pages and determining relevant ads to display. Please note that it may take up to 1 or 2 weeks before any changes you make have an effect on your ad targeting. The other option for improving the ad serving to your site is to continue using the Competitive Ad Filter, which can be used to filter up to 200 sites. When employing this feature, you'll need to keep in mind that, to exclude ads from your site, you need to enter the destination URL of the Google ad in your filter. This URL may be different from the URL displayed in the ad or the URL of the final page you end up on when you click on an ad (as is the case with the site you intended to block, but whose ads are still appearing). To determine the destination URL, we recommend using the AdSense Preview Tool, which allows you to visit the destination of an ad to view its content or to add it to your filter list. For more information about the Preview Tool, including a download link and instructions for determining the destination URL, please visit https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/topic.py?topic=160 . Alternatively, to view the URL of ads directly from your web pages, you can follow the steps detailed in the Competitive Ad Filter Guide at https://www.google.com/adsense/urlfilter For additional questions, we suggest you visit our AdSense Support site at https://www.google.com/support/adsense . If you're unable to find an answer to your question on our site, please feel free to reply to this email.

I really need some help in this particular case, iam facing for some time. My website is http://www.ebulawa.com This website's main theme is to help people avoid paper invitations (invitation cards) and use the online services provided by ebulawa to invite guests and friends. Interestingly, 99% of the ads are related to paper invitations and the remaining are from my competitors. However hard, i tried to re-phrase the text on my site, i failed to get proper ads on my site. Also, quiet surprisingly, i blocked a site www.mufuncards.com and it still appears on my site. Is this a bug in competitive ad filter feature? Please fix this. In anycase, to improve the CTR, i would like my visitors to see gifts/flowers/party supplier advertisements. How can i do that? Is this a drawback of contextual ad technology? Please help me here. thanks again sri
I really like your idea. I may not implement that, at a place you suggested. I will be doing it, on a different page, where i do have similar images lined up. This is visible for logged in users. Thanks so much. Looks like, some of my lost confidence is back.
