First page of Google, 50 uniques, NO ADSENSE CLICKS OR CONVERSIONS

Hello Jacob Martus
Put your ads on the top of your site and i think you will see difference

Is your sig the site you are referring to? Put a rectangle-shaped ad positioned in the upper-left corner of your index page to grab the attention of the site visitors..

Yeah, no one is visiting the index page though. All of my traffic is generic from search results to a page just like the one you guys are looking at. I will try and adjust the add positioning and see if it helps out.

Thanks,


Jacob

Use this html format so that your ad can be inserted within the content:

<div style="float: left;">ADSENSE CODE</div>

Have you tried reading something about google adsense? I think there are free eBooks around regarding it. Well if you're talking about the site in your sig, change the ad style and its place

Jacob, you just need to give it more time... depending on your niche, you could be talking about a 3-4% click-thru. You just need more traffic. Adsense is a numbers game, my friend.

Sign up to Google Analytics, that will tell you how long people are on your site and where they came from. You might find that they are searching for something unrelated, so no conversion. Track your visitors, test new ads, change ad placement, block unrelated ads, get inside the head of your visitors... Keep improving something every day.

But, like Phil said, you also need to wait longer, it's a numbers game.

The gaming area can be a bit tough especially for high end products.
A lot of the time you have younger people looking at your products that have little cash. That means they need parents to buy the item for them. So not only do you have to attract the younger crowd you also have to sell to the parents.
Not many parents I know are willing to put up nearly $200 for a keyboard because they don't understand the difference between a
$10 keyboard and a $200 one even though you just explained it. They look at the price, not the specs.
It's not until you hit the upper end of the niche's age range that you get buyers that finally have some money to spend on these toys.

So one thought that comes to mind is giving alternatives.
Instead of just reviewing one pricey piece of hardware perhaps review the expensive one and then an alternative that is comparable at a lower price.
Inner link these two reviews together.

As for adsense, instead of using them why not use some of the Amazon widgets available to display a variety of keyboards for example? This follows along the lines of what the person came to your site to see instead of several different random pieces of hardware. Plus, what Google pays out for this niche is not very good until you get into gaming PCs and laptops.
You will make much better $$ on the Amazon sales.

A few more images of the product might be beneficial also. Here again you have to think about your target market. Many gamers do not like to read that much so you will want to capture their attention with the various images of the keyboard in use and lit up for example. Build excitement for the product. Point out features that mom and dad can understand and relate to also. Warranty, ergonomics, your son will be a dork if he doesn't have one because all his friends have one. He will be a superstar because he will be the first on the block with this great piece of hardware. etc..
You just have to figure out how to do this subtly.

Then there are calls to action. If they know they can get the item anytime at Amazon at 12% off they will get to it when they get around to it.
BUT, if they can get this price for only a short time then perhaps they best get it now.

You write good reviews so just keep pumping them out and perhaps take a little time and find out what trips a gamers trigger plus what will motivate a parent to see that their child needs this instead of just wants this.

For the upper end of the age spectrum, if you can figure out how these keyboards can attract the opposite sex you will be a rich man

You have a good start. You are going to do fine.

All the Best!

Good advice has already been noted, and I would like to emphasize ad placement as well. Our success with Adsense was realized when we moved the adsense rectangle and incorporated that into the body of our article. Keeping it off to the sides just never did work for us.

Another thing you may want to look into is the relevance of your ads. I looked at the site, and I was getting ads for electricity and casinos. Someone reading about keyboards may not care about how to get free electricity or how to get to Laughlin for a round of poker. Those two ads alone eliminate 50% of your clickable ads.
