I've had adsense there which earned barely nothing, but Amazon is earning absolutely NOTHING, despite sending 15-20 uniques there per day. Site is www.wolfmother.net , gets 300-400 uniques per day and 500-700 views. Would CPM be worth it? Or would you try some music related CJ banners? I have tried these in the top position but no luck. Thanks.
Well amazon and adsense are a lot better..with amazon people actually need to buy stuff..so it can take time to happen..how long have you tested it for? Test them all adsense/amazon/ebay/other music affiliates If you're sending 20-30 uniques isn;'t enough to reuslt in a sale....so maybe adsense is what you need for now..
It seems like it's been plenty of days. How long have you been testing this, chimaera? I'm pretty stumped on what else to try, because the Amazon seems great. You should know that Amazon doesn't pay you unless you send them someone who buys within 24 hours. I think they may also use a session id, which I guess means they have to buy before closing the window
The website is good, keep adsense and start another. You can't get 10k dollars by having a not so famous band.
I've had the Amazon on there for over a month ... probably two actually! In that time I have had two people make a purchase, from 813 uniques. Terrible! I think I'm going to put a CJ banner on there, see if that does anything. Thiagoo, thanks for your insight =0p
lol Thanks, maybe someday wolfmother be famous all around the world so you will get huge traffic and stuff, just don't rely on just one website.
2 purchases from 800+ impressions is pretty good. I've had sites in the past that would 100,000 and Amazon would never get a sniff.
People don't expect ads on a band website like that, so I doubt you'll make very much at all. The point is to keep them on your page to have them check you out... not to send them off to an advertiser. Add another section, or create a similar site that you can promote through your band site, and then put the ads there (like articles on touring, getting gigs, promoting your music, etc.). I run several indie music sites, and people just don't click often, no matter what kind of traffic is coming in, when it comes to artist-oriented pages.
Not impressions, uniques - as in clicks. Yeah maybe you're right. I should be happy with my adsense revenue and leave it at that. The site earns a decent amount from the adsense on there, compared to the traffic. I'm redesigning soon so I'll revamp things then.
