Hi guys,

I am on a self learning curve so all info is much appreciated. I have a website that gets about 2000 unique visitors per month. The niche is Gaming, more specifically Call of Duty. How much should i be expecting to earn from adsense?

I currently earn hardly anything and i am not sure why, could it be the placement of my ads? Can you guys take a look.

Thanks

    With only 2000 visitors a month and only one adsense block on the bottom left sidebar, you're not going to get many clicks. That, combined with the niche you're in (gamers aren't looking to click on ads about other topics, especially when there are very few ads related to gaming in the first place)

    If you're going to expect anything from adsense from a gaming niche the better option would be to spread out image ads across your site.

      I do have adverts on each page on the site, only 1 though. people have mentioned about placement of the ads but i am not sure if they are in the correct place.

      Lovboa has perfectly summed it up.

      From personal experience, you are better off monetising the site with Amazon affiliate program for instance.

        I will look into doing an Amazon Affiliate soon if this will help. There must be something i can do though for Adsense to increase it?

    The page is to busy looking, IMO.

    Get rid of all the image Ads & change them to text Ads.

    Move the left sidebar Adsense to the top/left of the same sidebar, let the text Ads run for a couple of weeks.

    Also make the text Ads have white text & the Ad background color the same as your site theme background color.

    increase your website visitors. 2000 websites visitors is not a good amount.
    Word on your website more.

      But certainly i should be making something with 2000 visitors/month? even if it is just £5 a month? I currently get between 0-5 clicks per month

        In your place, I would set up ads like this:
        On the left where you have 160x600 adsense scyscraper, set it up for just image ads. Next, you must turn off interest based ads preference. When you turn off this, you will then get adsense ads related to your website content, and if it is turned on, then the visitors will see an ads based on previous browsing experience. For example, if someone is buying a car and he is spend some time browsing about cars, when he comes on your site, he will see a cars selling ads instead of gaming ads. Turn this off !
        Next, why you don't set up an 728x90 image ads up right, instead of that logo picture?

    If you are getting 0 - 5 clicks a month your ads could be optimized in a better spot. After that you do need more traffic to generate any kind of income. Work on SEO and other methods of driving traffic to your site. That should help you get started. Good luck!
