Hello good people.

I monetize my website through adsense but unfortunately i haven't been able to make money. Even when i have more than 1000 views in a day i still make less than $ 1. What is it that i could be doing wrong? Is there someone who can kindly guide me through to make any change in my earnings? How do i increase my CPC and RPM?

      Your Alexa traffic rank is only 13 118 762. While there are 906 616 188 websites in the world according to Netcraft (January 2016)

      Obviously the Alexa ranking is not very accurate since it is based only on their toolbar. Yet
      thirteen millionth rank... it's extremely low!

      Frankly I do not think you have a thousand page views from humans per day. I think the majority of your traffic comes from robots and that's why you do not get conversions.

      This is a common problem these days: many robots ... and few humans.

      P.S. But I agree with Daniel: Affiliate marketing is better than Adsense.

        It's either about the monetization scheme, or traffic. If you want more income from Adsense you need much more traffic than that. $1 for 1000 visitors doesn't seem that shabby to me. That's what you'd get for 1% CTR and $0.1 CPC.

        You could try different ad placements, but I doubt that it'd get you to where you want to be.

        Just completely ignore Alexa. Depending on the niche and market the numbers are either inaccurate, or totally worthless. For example, I could mention the name of Alexa and unless I was in a room full of SEOers and IMers nobody around here would've even heard of it.

        Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
        Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

        What's your excuse?

    To be quite frank with you, those kinds of earnings from adsense are nothing uncommon.

    Adsense provides one of the worst returns for your traffic.

    With that being said, I see your site has a lot of weight-loss content.

    A much better way to monetize your site is to recommend your readers to check out an affiliate product at the end of every blog post.

    Check ClickBank.com to see what products you might want to promote (choose just one good product to start with): https://accounts.clickbank.com/mkplS...1=1347&b2=1348

    For example, you can recommend "The Venus Factor" by having a clickable link at the end of every blog post (your affiliate link).

    You can say something like, "P.S. want to see how you can still enjoy some of the delicious but "unhealthy" foods you love, and still lose weight? Click here to find out more!" <<< that should be your affiliate link.

    Hope this helps,
    Daniel

    1. What analytics are you using to check your website traffic?
    If you are using the stats from the Blogger Dashboard, they are notoriously unreliable, I may have missed it but didn't see GA in the source code, install this to get fairly true traffic data.

    2. The template you are using absolutely sucks (no offence) you must be able to find a better one than that for a health site, because it looks unhealthy and anaemic. (check out what folks are using for similar sites on Pinterest)

    3. The content I read seems okay, but this page for example, //healthytrendstoday.com/2016/02/food-flips-for-faster-weight-loss.html has a huge blank space at the top of the page, WTF?

    4. Learn how to create a fixed front page, and how to adjust layouts etc. (You can set up an unpublished test blog in your Blogger account for practicing without messing up your main site.

    5. Read this post here on the Wafo, it will help you with Adsense.

      Yes if you are not using Google Analytics or another valid source, and if you rely on Blogger statistics, you have no idea of your traffic.

      One thing is certain: you do not have 1,000 page views (by humans) per day.

    $1/1000 views is really bad profit. You should testing your ad placements in the pages. Also it's important where your traffic come from. Social traffic is good option for both adsense and affiliate monetization, but you need good resources there - facebook pages, pinterest followers/group boards, etc.

    Paid search, social media advertising and display advertising are all excellent ways of attracting visitors, building your brand and getting your site in front of people. Adjust your paid strategies to suit your goals – do you just want more traffic, or are you looking to increase conversions, too? Each paid channel has its pros and cons, so think carefully about your objectives before you reach for your credit card. If you’re hoping that more traffic to your site will also result in more sales, you’ll need to target high commercial intent keywords as part of your paid search strategies. Yes, competition for these search terms can be fierce (and expensive), but the payoffs can be worth it.

        Answer: Google Adwords: https://www.google.com/adwords/

        But you must know your traffic and know the right keywords to conduct an effective campaign with Adwords.

        Which brings us back to what we said earlier: you must have a deeper understanding of your audience.

    Be careful about paid traffic. Paid traffic is a waste of money and time. I've tried it traffic was delivered in less than an hour and no one took action. If u have a good product there are more targeted sites that will bring real prospests. Do your research and find what others are saying.

    1- Your ads placement is not correct from reader as well adsense perspective.

    2- To get higher RPM your reader should stick to the content. Your ads placement on top of the page is very cluttered which would actually repel the viewer.

    3- In order to make the reader stick for first few seconds, I would place a nice bright image above the fold.

    4- I would suggest you to please read adsense policies, I think you can not place advt above the fold. In your case you have placed the advt above the fold.

    5- To improve RPM you need to do the testing with ads placement. Testing is the best way to find out what works best for you.

    6- Look at your bounce rate, if bounce rate is high then you need to find the ways to work on that. Better copy writing techniques will help to lower the bounce rate.

    7- Try to sell some affiliate products which have high conversion rate.

    Hope this helps.

      Just remember that page views and unique visitors views are two different things. 1 Visitor can click around your site 10 + times thus 10 page views but only one human.

      EDIT: Also none of your content is unique. Not the titles anyway. You are stealing all of your titles from hundreds of other sites. Theres 30 sites each using each one of your titles. Your not getting 1000 human page views. Not from SEO anyway. SMM is the only way. You will have to buy it to get that. Your SEO is shit.
