I'm sending google over 300k impressions and over 5k clicks per month but can barely make $500/month off of that. Can anyone help me out?

My site free youtube to mp3 converter gets lots of visitors but adsense earning is suck. Best day I've had is $23 in one day. It's averaging around $11/day. Should be $100/day in my opinion.

Please help out.

    Like it or not, Google tailors ads to the viewers. In other words, if your viewers are middle age men, then you will have ads for expensive liquor, high end resorts and luxury cars. If your viewers are women in their 20's and 30's, there will be ads for upper end cosmetics (If you are doing things right. If you do it wrong, you end up selling hemorrhoid medicine). If your viewers are teenagers, then you get ads for song downloads, video games and zit cream.

    The bad news is, your free product, which I take is a software that allows music and videos from Youtube to be stored and played on portable devices, is going to mostly appeal to younger folks. Nothing personal, but nobody pays adwords dollars for selling zit cream and song downloads. Worse yet, your giveaway is designed to attract people who are looking to get something for free.

    This is not the kind of traffic that adwords advertisers are willing to pay good money for.

    Changing your giveaway would take major work, but you can mitigate the situation by paying more attention to where you leave backlinks, and perhaps massaging your keywords on Google. The only way you are going to get higher dollar clicks is to attract an older, more monied audience. Otherwise you are working in the land of the ten cent clicks.

    Those sites don't do well with AdSense. It is same just like gaming sites where they pay 1 to 2 cent per click.

      Edited out tips...no reason to give them.

      Not sure if what the site claims to do is 100% legal, but that's another
      matter. It certainly violates the terms of youtube, and since google owns
      youtube, it may be a matter of time before they can you.

      A wise person takes note.

        As i see you have placed planty of ads banners on your site, thats reduces your earnings revenue, just place one banner ad, then your eCPM will be high!

    @kez1000,

    Can you please tell me what type of keywords I should be using and where?

    @lovingperson,

    I'm thinking of just one 728x90 on the top of the convert box. Will that do?

      Can you please tell me what type of keywords I should be using and where?

      Injected some high paying keywords into you content for example lawyer and insurance then after a few days you adsense ads will start to show $2-5 click ads, but the content has to be readable.

      You will have to do some research to find high paying keywords that won't make your content unreadable.

      Also it might be better for you to use some CPA ads like free Ipad2, free Iphone or some free tech stuff as this will better suit your site

    With that type of site, your CTR shouldn't be any bigger thank 00.05%
    You need a better site than that. Try micro niche sites.

    @kz1000,

    I know some high paying keywords but my problem is where to put them. I really don't know how to optimize size content. and looking at my site, there isn't too many places I can put content. Can you give me an example where I should put some content and what type of content?

    and what do you mean by "keywords that won't make your content unreadable."

    I like your ideas and want to implement them. So please help me further with examples.

    site is: freeyoutubetomp3converter Dot org

    You need a good keyword for a high CPC and a good template for CTR. Those will both increase your earnings. You may already know this if you've visited my sig.

    I think all you need to do is to change the niche and change the template as well.
