    Maybe you should move on to something else, and spend a couple hours a week trying to work that one. Keep adding content to it and see if the traffic increases. Move your optin form above the fold, and don't worry about adsense and hosting offers, most webmasters already have web hosting before they reach your site. Try to get your visitors on a list, and promote to them later.

    Love the theme by the way, will pick it for myself also

    If your getting lots of visitors then maybe try and contact some advertising companies related to your niche and sell ad space..Probably earn more than Adsense this way anyway.

    I guess you are lucky getting visitors. Convert them into customers, get their emails and start a newsletter and sell new product

    I wouldn't worry too much about Adsense. I don't use them anymore as my niche only paid a few cents per click.

    How long have you had your blog for? If its been a while, then consider switching niches. Just don't get caught in the cycle of chasing "the next big thing". Pick a niche you're passionate about, it'll show in your posts, and it'll be easier (and more fun) to maintain.

    vishwa,

    I am a bit confused.. you get a lot of traffic and you are not making any sales. #1 what do you think "a lot of visitors" is? #2 what exactly are you selling?

    #1 Yes, the SEO category is saturated. I don't mean to be cruel here but it is saturated with material like you have on your site. You are saying you have 10 years in the SEO industry and I read your articles and see nothing I have not seen before. WRITE man! The reality NOTHING pulls traffic like AUTHORITY. Im not talking page authority I am talking the authority that comes through in the words and articles you write.

    Take this page for example How To Make your website Search Engine Friendly | Webtalkerz sorry but REALLY? I personally could would and HAVE written stuff like this as a LAUNCH to 6 articles 1000+ words on each item you listed. ( BTW by doing this you have just created 6 internal links! )

    You need to take a look at what is the coming trends and write the daylights out of it. What about Rich Snippets? What about internal linking? what about the importance of external linking? How to maximize the link potential with text and image links. YOU are supposed to be the SEO expert. Get AHEAD of the crowd, be an AUTHORITY!

    #2 if the game plan was to build a site and throw adsense on it, well you didn't do your research did you? If you follow the above advice and grow your site to the 10,000+ unique per month range, there might all of the sudden be room for your site at adsense. is it me or are you "try" to sell siteground? WHY have you not written an article about it? and you ask why your not converting? its just sitting there... your NOT selling it!

    Again someone with your knowledge should be able to kick out a nice $5.00 report once a month. Oh wait... you don't even have a newsletter do you?

    You rollout into one of the hardest niches... and with basically subpar material. STEP UP YOUR GAME!

    Hope that Helps!

    Okay I am going to be cruel to be kind here but your site sucks. I went through a couple of your articles and they convey nothing. Take a look at some exceptional SEO sites like:
    matthewwoodward.co.uk
    godofseo.co
    backlinko.com
    ranktactics.com

    There are a whole bunch more...dude you aren't even in there league. Most of these sites offer tutorials or something worthwhile...all you have to say is "ihost is cheap please buy it".

    You have no links either linking to other content within your site or other sites. You have no images, no videos. Not a damn thing that keeps me either entertained or interested or educated. It is also visually upappealing. You have an SEO site from 2002.
    Yes the SEO niche is saturated but there is still lots of coin to be made there but you have to standout...as it is you need to tear that down and start all over again.

    As far as adsense goes...who cares? Adsense is ugly and if you have traffic put up an advertising page and sell your own space. Best of luck.

    Sometimes good advice and be cruel and hurtful but even so it is still good advice. Change your niche but first search your soul for something that will drive you to be the best in that niche.

    If you are passionate about SEO then find a mentor or partner. Internet changes much too fast to set up a site with current information and leave it. It takes commitment and hard work to stay on top of all those changes.

    But my suggestion is to find another niche that is not so saturated but only after you make a plan, do research, and make sure it is something you want to pursue. Best of luck.

    If you have a lot of traffic you can also find out what they are in need of and give them waht they are looking for. You can create it for them or find an affiliate product that meat the qualifications of what it is they are looking for then sell it to them.

    Just my opinion, of course, but if you're getting consistent traffic, use that to your advantage. Do a little research and find out what it is your visitors want, and give it to them.

    So many people have amazing sites but no traffic. You apparently have a big part of that problem solved.

    I wouldn't just give up and start from square one. See how you can best monetize that traffic and get those people on to a mailing list.

    As for Adsense, that seems like a ship that sailed a long time ago for a lot of people. I know there are some people who have made (and still do make) money from it, but for most it's just pennies a day.

    If you follow the advice on this thread and for whatever reason things don't change, then shift your focus to a niche/sub-niche with which you feel comfortable.
