Exact Mach Domain and ADSense Earnings

Welcome to the unpredictable world of Adsense

When doing your keyword research one important factor is to ensure there are many advertisers bidding on a specific keyword... this will ensure you get relevent ads for that keyword and you should also type in your keyword in Google's search engine and visit a site that has Adsense to check how many relevent ads are showing (the more the better). This should be done before you build a site.

The other aspect to remember is that some niches/keywords are more Adsense friendly than others. For instance: I have a site in the Business Market that provides info on business ideas - that site gets a crazy CTR (25%+), and then on the other hand I have a site that is in the health niche that gets a measly 5% CTR.

But with 150 visitors a day you should be getting a few click regardless of your niche. Ensure you have a rectangular or square block within your content and above the fold - you can wrap it to the right or to the left or you can place it after your first paragraph of text (test each position).

You can also add a small square ad in your sidebar and a link unit in your sidebar as well. Try and limit the ad blocks to 2 if there aren't many advertisers in your niche. If there are a whole lot of advertisers then you can also ad a banner at the end of your content.

If that layout doesn't work try adding the leaderboard type ad in your header below your site's title.

The above is just a reference: you will have to test, test and test some more to find the best layout for your site.

Wow, how did you get your site ranked so high that quickly? Very impressive...

I looked at your site. You should know that "eminem quotes" does NOT have a CPC of $8.61; not even close. Spyfu has the CPC showing as $0.49-$0.61. I wouldn't expect to make a killing off of those keywords.

Hello OP,

We have a ton of niche sites and have some in a similar area, actually. Much of CTR depends on the niche/keyword and not the ad placement, but you might want to just try moving the ads around a bit.

What we haven't tried (and you might want to) is to try to find offers around Eminem that you can provide for sale on the site (posters, cd's, movies, etc.) I can't see lots of advertisers around that keyword, but there are products around that keyword.

I think you just wont find related adsense ads in thw eminem niche.
That seems to be the biggest problem. It is like ranking first for eminem lyrics... Noone is going to click on any ads once they are there. The best chance that you have to raise your ctr is to have reeeally interesting image ads, even if they are irrelevant.

Yea I was about to say the same thing. I have zero incentive to click your ads. You need to think psychologically when it comes to the adsense game..i can guarantee that not many people approach site building for adsense income like this:

1) pick out a niche where people like to find out more information about something
2) hopefully it's a niche where people BUY stuff
3) build site content around entry and exit points..your exit point are your ads
4) provide enough content on your site to make it worthwhile and allows you to give the end user an enjoyable viewing experience
5) but get them OFF your site through psychological redirects out through the ads.

great keyword... but not for adsense,

looked there is no advertiser on your keyword

the suggest, Focus on amazon ads at your web for eminem related product, not adsense focused

Celebrity sites typically do much worse than other sites for generating clicks. I had a Justin Bieber site once and got about 250-300 UV a day, but some days would only get 1 click on an ad and other days none. On a good day I would get about 5 clicks. Also, the cpc was really not great and I ended up selling the site.
On the other hand, I also had an insurance site. I only got about 10 UV a day. lol. But you know what? When I got a click, it was always over $10 a click. I made more on that site in a week than Justin Bieber in a month.

The competition for the keyword "eminem quotes" is 0, there are practically no advertisers bidding on that keyword, that's the problem.

When you a considering a keyword make sure you have checked if their are any advertisers, if so you are good to go with that keyword but if their are no advertisers their is no way for you to earn .

perhaps 150UV is not really enough. Try to get more and making sure your adsense placement are correct at prominent place. If your site is general informational site, then CTR could be lower comparing to a site which is niched. If your site is niched site, you should get at least 1-3% CTR.

Hi karismasand
After reading the OP, and visited your site, I feel like there are lots of distractions especially images.

You may need to test a little on adv colors, adv placement, and also images in the content(images may steal the focus from reading the ads).

You may experiment this to improve your CTR.

You could sign up on itunes affiliate program and sell songs that the quotes are from add a link to the song on itunes under the quote I bet that works out better!

How much traffic you are getting on your website ? Could someone help me to get some click?

Well Mrs karismasand firstly your keyword has too much competition. You should get to be able to #1 ranking with EMD easily, than your traffic will triple or quad triple.
For AdSense I suggest you use woothemes (canvas or freshnews) or CTR theme. i own both but i now use woothemes because it looks better, even though it has lower CTR.
