High ranking with no Adsense revenue

markw89 · 11-21-2011, 03:31 AM

This was my very first attempt to rank a website I pushed it to the top and it is currently on #2.

A few statistics about my keyword:
EXACT US Monthly Searches: 12,100
EXACT Global Monthly Searches: 18,000
Average CPC: $5.28

---

According to Google Analytics, I have been getting around 50-70 unique visitors each day.

As for Google Adsense Statistics for the last 3 days:

Fri, Nov 18, 2011: 63 pageviews, 0 clicks.
Nov 19, 2011: 113 pageviews, 5 clicks, revenue of €1.84.
Nov 20, 2011: 39 pageviews, 1 click, revenue of €0.38.

What could be the problem? I thought I had a good keyword with good monthly searches and CPC. Should I switch to ctr theme or clickbump theme? even though my theme fonts and text color matches adsense's.

Have you checked your rank based on scroogle or chrome incognito?
You may not be actually ranking #2.

Joshua,

Normal browsing (after clearing the cache) shows: #2
Scroogle shows: #4
Chrome Incognito shows: #2

I am confused..

did you just put it on? it really takes a sample size of the very least a thousand or to to get a good guess of your CTR, and adsense takes a while to figure out which ads to display on your site, so your cpc should go up

No adsense was not recently installed, been 3 weeks or so. I hated the number of clicks I'd get (if any). I just switched to CTR Theme, optimized ad colors and everything, I hope it will go fine this time
