Whats wrong with Soccer sites ?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by PHIL BADER, Jul 2, 2007.

    I don't know whats wrong with those niches. Despite a fairly good amount of clicks, you just get about 30 cents. A friend of mine who has a Soccer news site told me that he gets 40 cents for 11 clicks.
    Is that due to MFA ? or what ?.

    Any response will be appreciated.

    I also manage a soccer forum and have Adsense on it... not bad clicks but very low earning. I compliment it with AuctionAds and AdToll as well. The combination of them works not too bad.

    I find that not putting all your eggs in one basket and diversifying pays dividends.

    Its not really surprising that its a low paying niche because you can't really expect too many advertisers pouring too much money in. If they did, what would they do it on that would merit paying dollar a click?
