    Hey guys, I wanted to see how well adsense really worked so a few months ago I hastly put together a quick site and since then made roughly $90 but then it just stopped and I forgot about it.

    Any suggestions on how I can improve it? I think it looks really ugly but don't know where to start I really have no clue what I am doing I basically installed Wordpress and a few plugins whacked on adsense threw some articles up, 75% of traffic is direct the rest is search engines and I have done no SEO so far.

    Cheers

    site is www.gratiscash.info

    Things that I'd work on:

    1. Provide more useful content for the end user. Right now it just looks like a bunch of ads and fairly spammy.

    2. Provide more useful calls to action for the end user. Right now, theres little for them to do beyond clicking the ads (which, I recognize is the point - but if you give them something else to do, you are far more likely to have them stick around and click more ads).

    Cheers. :)

    Use a better attractive theme and design one by yourself if you are using your own.
    And there is nothing in your blog, fill up with lots of content.
    Only if its attractive with good content which helps your visitors then only you will get more and more visitors other wise they won't care to return.

    You should've thought to keywords before everything. I'm not very sure there is people out there looking for "gratis cash". When it comes to online success it all depends on visitors. You have 3 shots of having visitors: 1. people know your URL and they type it into their browsers; 2. your site is found through queries on Google; 3. your site's links is found somewhere on the web. Good luck!

    I have learned the only real thing that matters is traffic. I have seen many ugly websites making tons of $$$ but some great looking ones make nothing. Its just traffic, traffic and more traffic imo

    It's impressive that you managed to make $90 with the site looking as it does now. I'm not saying it's looking bad or something, but I've seen better-designed sites which hardly get any income from Adsense at all. So it seems you have the advantage of getting a steady flow of traffic, which most websites lack. Now all you need to do is to add quality content which appeals to the users.

    First decide what you want your website to be about. Is it a site containing articles about making cash online? Will it focus on any particular kind of earning methods? Will it be reviewing various cash-earning methods? And so on....

    Once you've decided what kind of content you want for the site, you can then proceed to create that content yourself or hire someone to create it for you. Either way, make sure that the content is of high-quality and is SEO friendly. All this takes some effort but in the end it will really pay off if you're a little patient. Oh, and do checkout the latest themes that Wordpress has to offer. The present one doesn't appear to be very friendly.
