Hi guys need some advice.

I have a viral quiz site which I'm driving traffic from fb. Thing is, the CTR is really low, 0.5%. I've also added some pop-under ads to increase the revenue.

The site basically looks like playbuzz.

Any suggestions how I can further monetize the site? Or increase clickthru rates?

Thanks

    Did you ever stop to consider that it may be your niche?

    The kind of prospects that visit these and similar sites (freebie giveaways, recipe sites, joke sites, quote sites) are not looking to purchase anything in particular so they are not targeted buyers.

    You end up with decent traffic but pitiful money from your site.

    When you do your market research ahead of developing a web site, you will see that certain niches are not "money" niches.

    Without seeing your site it's hard to give advice, try different placements, colours, etc and experiment and track the results

    I'd use video's to increase CTR. Create a couple of demo vids of you using your product (and having fun!) and then share them on Facebook.

    Also create a Twitter page for your product and link your Twitter and Facebook pages, then post your vids on one and they will appear on the other also.

    I find Twitter users have a higher CTR than on Facebook and people love Vids!
