Hi there, Why are my AdSennse earnings zero for about 3-4 weeks? Even if sites have some traffic? What is the problem?
Asian visits pay almost nothing, especially in January. Unless you get a click or 2 500 visits isn't enough to make you any CPM income.
as I see you have normal amount of asian traffic, why don't you check some alternative networks like neverblue or epom market? nothing can beat adsense, but there are some guys that will give you serious rates for specific countries
No not just Asian markets, everywhere, advertisers don't seem to bid as much or run campaigns at all in January as people tend not to spend as much in the month after Xmas, that leaves less competition for our ad space and less revenue for clicks. Although now that you ask me i'm not sure if that even is the case in Asia, I may be wrong on that, it is in the western world for sure. Do Asian countries observe any Xmas like holidays? I honestly don't know.
This is my first year so don't have the experience to give a personal opinion but from the research I've done late Jan to early Feb. I had a terrible start to the month but the last 3 days I've seen a decent increase, still not up to the levels of mid Dec but decent.
Adsense favours western traffic, especially traffic from the U.S and Canada, for advertising, as most of the advertisers (the people running ad campaigns on AdWords) are targeting their ads at the countries where their businesses reside (the U.S and Canada). American businesses want exposure from American people, not Indian people.
The heat map Popey87 provided is the one Google recommends,you should use it. I personally place 3 ads on all my websites - 1 in the header,1 in the sidebar and one in the top post before the content starts.These placemetnt have always worked for me.
You should try to increase traffic of your website so that you can get more visits to your website you have not sufficient visit...
