$24.68 in 4-months.. WOW! I've made $50 more than that, but it's taken since 2004.

You're on a roll.

Seriously, that's not too bad. Of course if you're devoting all your time to it then it's bad.

But find out how (specifically) you made that money and then repeat the process even more. Double it, then triple it, and so on.

Looking at your site, it seems the Adsense ads are right at the bottom, not exactly prime location. Your site also scrolls down quite a bit, so the people that do not make it to the end wont see them.

You've targeted the IM/Make Money niche, not a stinker for Adsense but not one of the best either. If you're looking for a full time income from Adsense alone, you'll need to (a) develop more sites and (b) pick higher paying Adsense niches.

Hope this helps, if you'd like some more thorough help with Adsense PM me.

You are probably making money in other ways on your site through the affiliate links. If you wanted to make more money with adsense alone then you may want to try leaderboard ads.

Hi,

Also agree best idea for it is to have more sites with adsense on there.
google is always a struggle, but it does take some time until that revenue increases.

Hello all i have new info regarding this one.......
try this one......
ExoClick.com - Innovative PPC platform a go. Has some great features. I like that there is such a wide choice of countries to choose from and can see exactly where your sites are being advertised. Starts at a cent a click so its cheap.

hopefully can make some idea.......thanks

I understand your frustration, mine is lower than that, but I have just begun creating websites. I would like to offer this suggestion up to help us all, is it true that putting long-tailed keywords that have high PPC click value on your page will generate more in adsense per page?

Your CTR is incredibly low, probably due to your ads positioning and the fact they jump out the page screaming "I'm an ad don't click me"!

Get them to blend in more and make sure they are above the fold.

Lastly like a couple of guys said remove your stats from this thread, pronto.

Dont worry,the initial 25-100$ always takes time,this almost happens with every one.
just work hard research right and youll get to 5 figures in no time.
Best of Luck

h1dayah & hommi_16 remove the CTR etc details or you'll lose your account.

You need to think outside the box here.

Think of items and services that cost a lot.
ie
electronic goods
health
professional industries, ie, lawyers, eye surgeons, etc

Run a keyword list via google suggestion tool.
find one keyword, enter it into google, then find the top 10 ranking websites, then one by one enter that url into the google suggestion tool.

Get a list of keywords found, export it to csv. and keep doing this until you done all the sites.
Then run a keyword list for all the broad terms.

Find phrases that google suggests $30 or more per click.
Then dig wider to find more related phrases and keep building your pages based on those phrases. the wider you go, the more gems you'll find.

Optimize the monkies out of it, and that $26 or so you made will be made in less than a week.

A good niche is forex, i get heaps of $1 - 2 clicks every day.

Hi guys. Thanks - just read this one. I am getting some low returns in adsense too but I put that down to lousy traffic - which is a function of SEO (header, keyword and so on.

HI

Right now I am making $10-$20 a day from adsense.... over many sites... and.. what I have learned is you just need to build more sites on many topics.. but you need to research the topic and try and get the topic keyword.. in your domain.. and make it a .com

Then write unique articles and post them on your sites... and a week later submit those articles to more article directories and put affiliate links on your sites to and from that income you buy Yahoo and google adwords campaigns..

Also submit your site to link directories .. for back links..

Thx
Tom

very good responses ......
I will only add two things...
Optimize your pages fully.....many good free articles on this.....do some searches......

research to find some high-paying keywords!
I have pages with $4 clicks!......they add up faster than 0.11 cent ones!

keep at it, you will reach your goals.

I made only 19.72 with adsense but i cant blame them all i did was slap it on and leave it ,

Adsense earning are dependant on 2 very obvious factors :

1. Click Thru Rate (CTR), and
2. The amount of traffic you get

So if you want to make more money, increase either one or both of the above.

On your website, I would suggest getting rid of the skyscraper adsense down the side on the front page, and put in a 350 x 300 box at the top of your site.

If people have to scroll to see your ads, they are NOT going to click on them..

By moving your ads above the fold, (ie above the bottom of the screen) will increase your CTR by a HUGE amount! It could, quite literally double your CTR rate!! No kidding, it did for me!

On 3 of my best performing adsense sites, 2 of them have CTR of greater than 25% and the other does 10-15% on a regular basis..

Of course these sites make me money!!

Move the ads around and things should go better for you, PLUS get more traffic

Hope this helps

What's shocking about that? I have made 94 dollars in adsense for 14 months. You are doing well. Point is, adsense ( maybe to me) is not to be relied on.

I'll be putting a WSO up within the next couple of days, about how to improve your adsense income. It can help you, I'm sure.

Here's and idea...

Stop focusing on Adsense and stop focusing on making pennies...

Start selling something...pushing traffic...and converting into sales.

Yur ads way below where one would basically click on your adsense ads. It should basically follow the heat map from google and you should be fine. People who visit your might not stay for long and if your ads are at the botom, there's no chance they will click on it.
Just my 2 cents

Never put all your eggs in one basket. Have your adsense, but also offer affiliate links on your site to try to balance the low returns from adsense.

I ran adsense on my site that has twenty thousand visitors per month. When I started adsense, traffic was only ten thousand, just to be honest.

I followed the advice offered by a friend and changed my adsense to run the standard formatting with blue links, black text, etc. That one change moved me from $7 per month in adsense revenue to $50 per month adsense.

Then my friend recommended me to change the placement of adsense on my pages. That change boosted me from $50 per month to $200 per month.

These days, I am still not getting rich with adsense, but I do get up to $350 in some months.

I am no Adsense expert but I will share from my experience. I have one site that earns between $2000 and $2500 a month in Adsense income and about twice that in affiliate income. Then I have some 10 sites that don't bring in $200 month together. What is the difference?

One, for the site making money I chose a niche that gets a lot of searches and high value clicks. Two, I dedicated a lot of time to developing the one site with original content (not all written by me) and optimizing that content (about 500 pages now). Three, I spent more time promoting this site, especially through article marketing and link exchanges. I have only written two press releases and bookmarked only a few pages. I also have about 5 Squidoo lenses that link to the site. I spend about $40 a month on Adwords. Most traffic is organic. Four, I use the 336X280 ad size above the fold and another at the bottom of each page.

Don't get the idea that I spend 60+ hours a week on the site. Actually, I spend an average of 4-5 hours a week on it.

The other sites have between 5 and 30 pages each. I add new content sporadicly. I do very little to promote them.

Based on this my suggestions are: Continually add original content that is relevant to your niche. Optimize each page for the search engines. Write and submit articles regularly. Get a lot of incoming links (there are a lot of ways to do that besides just link exchanges). Move your ads up above the fold.

Hope this helps.
