    lol @ no replies.

    So even with lure of coin, there are none that have the right info to make this work?

    It seems that people either dont know or
    the people that DO know are making enough that they dont care to help others?

    I dont get it. Im beyond frustrated at this point, because I have the traffic, just no real money coming in. Sigh.

      I dont want to come off like a jerk with this reply, I preface it with that when I say: Thanks man, but this kind of non-specific reply doesnt help me at all. I already got replies like this before, I need some very specific help here from someone know who knows whats up and would like to get paid if they help me figure this out.

      Yes, Im willing to put my money where my mouth is. If you can help, Ill hook you up.

      So please...some legit replies and help, please please.!!

    The whole page is filled with memes, articles or videos. It lacks of floating ad space, your visitors spent most of the time scrolling, so the banner on top is ineffective.

    Check out whether your visitors focused on which one mostly, whether memes, articles or videos, then remove 1 or 2 rows and make it into floating ads.

    You may also mix videos and memes into 1 row and floating ads at another row. (Sports 9gag alike)

    Your page auto load too little posts when visitors first landed on your page, I can only see 3 memes firstly and it load another 2 memes each scroll, that is way too little imo. Make it at least 7 - 10 memes loaded first, and load 10 more memes when visitors reached the final or second final post.

    With 1 or 2 floating ads, I think you can at least double or triple your revenue easily.

      first I think that download now banner won't work on your site (it's good for torrents/streaming/file sharing and not for content sites) so that's why you have low CTR.
      Try different offers - dating/gaming/ sport related and etc.

      Second you can try rich media (pops, slider and etc)

      There is a lot of room for improvmnet on your site - Good Luck

    Simply put... that theme and your content won't generate many clicks on your ads. You may want to think about monetizing this site with a diff method. Maybe rent some ad space, or use a lightbox pop-up optin form and promote CPA offers.

    But I don't think Adsense will bring much revenue.

    I'll say make a review place/category to review some sporting products. ( Shoes, shirts, equipments, bla bla bla ) And put in your affiliate links.

      I dont know if its because I am in Ireland but the only advert I saw on your home page was a top banner for a US green card

      You could try sports related CPA like win NFL tops or even a "watch live sports on your PC" offers

    really dude? This post seems to me to be freakin bogus.

    Well just in case you're not full of it, this is what you should do.

    Put google analytics on there and see where your traffic is coming from.
    Next, change your home page to a squeeze page and see how many emails you get.

    Follow up with those that actually entered their name and email with cool advice and tips on stuff and help them solve a problem within this niche.

    Or if you don't want to spend the time to do that, change up. I land on your site and I don't want to click on anything cause it looks too busy and makes me click exit.

    Your analytics will tell you this, or what's happening when people hit your site. Add some stuff to actually read. Some interesting copy, headlines with sub-headlines with cool copy following that.

    Then have a link at the end of a teaser paragraph that forces the user to want to click and find out more. This of course goes to an affiliate product or a CPA offer.

    Number of factors to consider: Where is the traffic coming from? Is it targeted or broad?

    Through software or natural?

    Then you need to send good warm targeted traffic and then optimize your website for better conversions.

    First thing is to make sure the traffic is good and search for alternative methods as well and test those compared to what you are doing now.

    Most of what the people said is not a factor of why you arnt making alot of money..

    Its your CTR
    Here you are currently
    406,622 page views. 233 ad clicks. Page CTR .06% CPC .37
    $86

    You should really try to get your CTR up. One of my small niche wordpress crafting sites get 1% CTR

    Try to get at least .5%

    If you had this you would have far better earnings.
    406,622 page views. 2000 ad clicks. Page CTR .5% CPC .37
    $740

    You may need to redesign your whole site. Make users look at you ads before they look at the content by placing them in better places.

    Find A/B Split test software and see which layout performs the best.

      I apologize for not responding all month, been working really hard on optimizing the server for a lot of traffic and football season.

      Right, this is the problem, lol. Getting CTR up.

      My traffic is 90% USA.
      I have high following social media pages that get sent, developing a huge following. Everyone really loves the content, most of what we do is original stuff. We have a lot of imitators but we have the best overall content in this niche. So people enjoy what they see.

      The main thing is just getting the CTR up. Ive adjusted a few things and gotten it up a tiny bit, but not enough to really make a dent the way I want and need to.

      Adsense is only giving me CPC which isnt good for my audience. CPM would be A LOT better. I've registered with a few agencies that are supposed to be CPM, but waiting to see what happens. With all that traffic, all I need are impressions right? Because my page views go thru the roof.

      CPA offers. How do I pull that off with this kind of content? I dont want to push people away either.

      Ive thought about a mailing list of some kind, but would need a reason why they would have to log in or submit. Maybe rating content?

      The site has the potential to really take off. I know I need to redo the article page though, at minimum. I made the main page the way it is mainly with the big push towards mobile and tablets. Its fairly easy to look at everything on those, but I need to work on navigation a bit more I think.

    You do need to figure out your demographics then approach any affiliate manager at any cpa network and ask them for 3 offers in the that demo. That's it.

      As others said, the best way is to know and understand what your demographics are. Get on Google analytics and take a look at where your traffic is coming from, what pages/content they are spending the most time on, what devices they are using (mobile or desktop), etc.

      Once you get an idea of what your demographics are look for offers that are related to them.

      Might also be helpful to put up a subscribe form in there to build up an email list. This opens up a new medium (email) to further push offers.

      Good luck!
