Reasonable traffic but no clicks

[alantay]

Hi Warriors, I had my site up for 5 months already and this is my first week of adsense. I had two clicks on my first day and after that no more until today. Is there anything wrong with my ads placement/color/niche or is actually the traffic is not enough. I had like 100 over visitors a day and around 300 page views a day. Any good or bad commments are welcome

my site is: itscolumn.com

You have to write the attractive and unique contents and you have to make the good design of your site.

Do not get hung up on the number of AdSense clicks you get. It will take AdSense a time to figure out what ads work best on your website/webpages.

Even when AdSense does work out what works and what doesn't work on your website, the number of clicks per day can still vary wildly. The important thing is the trend. As long as the number of clicks trends up over the months, all should be okay.

Hi alantay,

I just visited your site and I see absolutely no Adsense at all. Maybe there's a problem with that?

I had also visited you site and I only saw nuffnang ads

Maybe if you have the ads, in the side bar or somewhere in the template rather then just in the posts them self. Just an idea but might help out a bit.

Good luck

Steve

You have to take some time for the adsense to get a feel for your website and create channels to in your adsense account to see what works.

hi alan
if i makes you feel better, i am having the same problem as well - reasonable traffic, but no clicks.

here are what i am trying out (maybe it works for you too) :
1) put each ads in separate channels to track the most profitable ad location
2) use text ads instead of image ads (i found that my visitors prefer text ads)
3) place ads in-between articles/posts

Thanks for all the comments.

I just added some to my homepage as well.

Previously I guess everyone did not see the ads due to the reason i place them in the content. However, I just got 5 clicks yesterday.

Probably this is a good start ^_^

Focus on money made, make sure you make more next month than this month and so on. And remember...more traffic=more clicks. Income from websites are a shot in the dark most times. You can target certain niches and audiences but have no control over their actions on your website.

If you've only put Adsense on your site for about a week, you have to wait longer until you can reach a better conclusion of what kind of CTR you're getting on average.

But to tell you the truth, with 100 unique visitors a day and 300 page views you should be getting at least a click a day in my opinion. If you want to compare it to my site, I get about 25-40 unique visitors/day and get anywhere from 1-3 clicks.

Where exactly is your traffic coming from? I'm asking because when I first started a lot of my traffic was coming from referrals since I did tons of blog commenting. It was the webmasters just looking at my site, and they wouldn't click on my ads because they only went on my site to check the site out, not caring about the content. (My guess)

Right now a majority of my traffic comes from search engines and I'm getting targetted traffic to my site that are more likely to click my ads.

Just my thoughts.

Try to properly capture the market by expanding the number of keywords which will bring potential buyers to your site. More word being spread around the web in different form
always helps.

i think you have targeted wrong keyword for your services. just try to change your title and meta keywords with appropriate keyword analysis, you will sure get clicks. can you provide keywords on which you got top listing but not getting clicks?

[owenlee]

It may be due to the lack of traffic...try building more traffic to it and see the result first..as you have said this is only the first week you start Adsense so is kind of too early to spot the problem...

For now i guess is due to the lack of traffic...good luck

You will hard get a targeted traffic, when your domain is itscolumn.com, and your keyword is IT security.
I think that you choose too common keyword, and with tooooo much competition.
Try to compete for more keyword combination...

Give AdSense some time to get your site figured out.
