stupid low pay adsense

richkid · 11-26-2007, 05:42 PM

haha... on one of my affiliate niche sites which I promote clickbank products through I have adsense on them as well as a supplement income.

Had 6 clicks so far today, which is my best from one site, and only got 51cents

haha...why cant it be the day where my clicks are 60cents each?

I hate days like that, I'm having one today as well. A few days ago I had one click that was worth $2.11, unfortunately it was only one lol. Between the good and bad days, it comes out to an average of about $0.40/click though; so its not too bad.

Just be patient, and you'll get there. Really work on SEO-ing your site, which will bring click-happy traffic. There seems to be a correlation between how many visitors your site receives and the amount you are paid for each click, though I cannot scientifically prove this.

you are right. those 6 clicks came from 40 page views and 20 uniques.

imagine if i had 200 uniques.

Better if visitors click the ads.

Try using bidvertiser, I've done a Bidvertiser vs. Adsense case study over 1 month swapping around after 2 weeks. The bidvertiser ads went first so technically adsense had the advantage. End result; Adsense: $0.63, Bidvertiser: $7.89.

Interesting, I might have to give them a try.

Great! Should try it in my new blog.

I've been reading and pondering on what contextual advertising network I will be using shortly. [Google, Yahoo, Bidvertiser, etc].

Lately, I been hearing more complaints about the coveted AdSense more and more.

how are you doing with the clickbank affiliate selling? how much do you get per sale? how many sales do you get per 1,000 views let's say?

I may just not use any CPC advertising after all.

I am just curious as to why you are driving people away with adsense? Are you doing affiliate marketing on a PURE organic basis?

That's because newbies come in and pay whatever it's cost to be at the top. After they get schooled for a few hundered dollars, they wise up and drop down to max CPC of .10

Then a new crop of newbies comes in paying whatever it cost to be on top...

Rinse and repeat..

Yeah, but hearing it from who? Kids who don't know what they are doing or people who are making money? Take all complaints with a grain of salt.

People who don't know what they are doing and losing a bunch of money are going to be screamng the loudest. People who are making a bunch of money are not going to be saying anything.
