Over 10K Visitors Per Month Still No Money, What's Wrong?

Compound said:
Couple of things:

1. Try a 300x250 ad block. These generally get more clicks.

2. Understand your visitors:
- How do they come to your site? Search, links from other sites, links from email, etc.?
- What do they want? Is there something else they want that you might be able to advertise?

3. Look at competitor sites. How are they monetizing? Can you replicate?

Geo Target the visitors and find a way to sell tickets to concerts in their region :p

Check for travel agents who arrange trips to concert events etc. and speak to them how much they pay for each lead.

offer some sound devices from amazon. I like the Sonos S5 for example :p

optimize your other campaigns as mentioned by others before.

But

Get more traffic once you set up a good way to monetize :p

Great advice guys...thx
 


i definitely second the suggestion for nixing the 100% width theme, i have 2 super high res monitors and it still isnt wide enough!

ad placement: i was going to give you a "courtesy click" and it took almost 10 seconds to find your ad. while its good to make your adsense blend into your site, i dont think this is the case here. i also second the suggestion for the 300x250 block at the top. someone suggested that to me and within a month it tacked on a higher ctr.

split test images vs text ads. while text ads always look more "adlike" than images, ive found that they have brought me better ctrs.

split test everything. i had this problem last month i had several domains getting several thousand hits per month making zero. now they are steadily making more every DAY!

i asked this same question in the newbie section a few months ago and got a wealth of info in addition to what was already given here, check that thread if you can dig it up. good luck!

I'm considering getting a complete redesign, too bad my area of expertise isn't in the design. I am more of the backend hosting guy and SEO marketing type, but lack design capabilities, but I'll probably head over to elance, getacoder, or freelancer to get something custom done. I'll focus on the ad zones and spaces. I'll also collapse the categories and make it expandable. Thanks for the suggestions.

Dear Lord Baby Jesus....how many Rocawear ads can you have one one site. How are you rotating the banners in? Is that all pretty much one network? Mix that up.

Plus think about what is going on with your demographic, put those type of ads. Ex The Beats was a great suggestion.

Have you tried a 728x90 header ad? You might want to move the join your mailing list to the front right area, if you build that up, you can charge for mailings.
 
Subscribe Page

I think you got some good suggestions. Can you tell me if your Subscribe page which asks for email adress is a Wordpress Plugin? If so, which one is it?

Thanks

If you getting 10K visitors per month you can add some CPA offers such as email summit offers like iphone, ipad, bestbuy. You'll make way more than the $5/ month you currently getting.. And yeah man you have awful a lot of white space, the ads are blind to your viewers. Redesigning must be the first thing to do. Great job on getting 10k viewers per month, its a work in progress, all you need now is to invest some money and a little research on what ads works best on your site.......
