Hey,

Ok so I recently have discovered a traffic method that can drive loads of traffic to my web page in very little time.


The only thing is that the niche this traffic is based around is sports. So i know that the adsense for sports is kinda low but the main sport this traffic source is based around is basketball. When using spyfu it said that basketball pays from .40-1.21 per click.

Well today i put together a quick blog you can look here: eandasportsblog.com it just has one post as you can see i got so much traffic that 19 comments were made on this one post.

Well anyway today I tested out the blog added some google adsense because i figured it would be a great way to moneytize it well these were my stats after one night: 364 page impressions and made 2.89 dollars is this good decent horrible?

Can you take a look at the blog eandasportsblog.com and just tell me what you think we could do to make more money?

Am i putting the ads in the wrong spot is it just that the website is only 1 day old?

Thank you,

Eric

    Hi Eric,

    First let me help you with some facts. Spyfu doesn't tell you what a keyword pays, it tells you what advertisers pay for search engine traffic.

    Usually advertisers pay somewhat less per click on the content network and Google splits that amount with you. So, the Spyfu number should be a relative indicator, but you will make substantially less in most cases.

    Sports traffic is not the lowest paying and certainly not the highest paying. Often the click through rate is lower than average, so it generally takes a lot of traffic to make good AdSense money.

    You are on the right track, now see if you can double and then triple your traffic doing whatever it is you are doing.

    Hi Eric,

    I just had a look at your blog. I would recommend you REMOVE the border from your ads. This will reduce ad blindness on your site. Also make sure the background color of the ads is the same as your site, so the ads blend in. This should increase your CTR.
