My Niche Sites Rank Well but Little Money From Adsense
- SEO |
I was doing a few experiments with niche sites in order to try a little bit of money each month. However, after this, I'm really considering learning how to build authority sites.
I did keyword research for some good keywords.
Niche Site A Keyword 3,600 exact searches + Approximate CPC Search = $3.20
Niche Site B Keyword 2,400 exact searches + Approximate CPC Search = $3.63
So I got both my niche sites to rank pretty well.
Niche Site A 1st Result on google
Niche Site B 4,5,6 Result on google (I bet with a little more backlinking I could get at least top threes because only youtube videos and a forum ranks higher than me)
Niche Site A, about 210 visits in a week, 30 per day, 60% bounce rate.
Niche Site B I get about 50 visits a day, 350 last week with a bounce rate sadly of almost 70% (though I recently switched themes)
Now onto adsense...
In the past 7 days...
Niche Site A 408 views, .55 cpc, $1.64 in earnings ctr below 1%
Niche Site B 781 views, .18 cpc, $1.00 in earnings ctr below 1%
I'm pretty puzzled with the results. I recently switched from blusense to the the CTR theme, I thought bluesense was the problem. However about 3 days have gone by and I'm still seeing dismal earnings.
I expected to have a few more visits, a higher ctr rate, and higher cpc since I did good keyword research, am using a high converting theme, and did research on the cpc on the keywords.
I know bounce rate is a problem, but I don't know what to do to fix it except switch themes and the CTR theme is highly recommended by niche site builders.
Can anyone help me identify my problems and help me increase my earnings?
Also, I'm considering on selling them since they are a major source of frustration.
Thanks
