How much revenue you think my site will make?

If you were to own this site and change things around. How much do you think you can squeeze out of this site. Currently I have about 400 uniques a day. And thinking of giving it a .com domain one day. I'm only making about .40 cents per day which is not what I'm looking for .

If you do not think it will mess up your visitors experience, try putting a link unit at the top left of the content or any sort of add unit. The top of your left navigation is a hotspot for clicks. I put a link unit on my page and with 100-150 visitors I'm making $2.00 a day (off 5-8 cent clicks, CTR through the roof). After that try integrating more add units into your content. Check out the google heatmaps and maybe you could try blending the purple add on your left nav bar. messing with colors and all.along with moving it to the top of that navigation block.

 

It's a bittorrent site. I'm sure it's against the TOS. I don't see any links to any files/movies to download, but Google is probably skittish around sites like these, and may put the kibosh on your earnings if someone reports you.

 

They actually disapproved my application the first time, when they see my site they thought I had torrents or something. Then I emailed them back to tell them my site doesn't host torrents. Then they apologized and approved my account. So yea, my site should be okay for adsense.

 

I stand corrected. But in any case, 400/day will probably not translate into very high earnings. You have to take two important factors into consideration: 1) your keywords (bittorrent, primarily) won't net any big paying ads (probably 5-10/cents each?), and 2) Your visitors are, by nature, freeloaders (hey, that's why they're using bittorrent in the first place!) so chances of them clicking on anything other than what they came to get (the bittorrent appz) are minimal.

As such, your best bet might be to work on increasing traffic and then using CPM banners.

Looky here. From my email.

Thank you for giving us more information about your site. I understand
that http://openlite.5gigs.com is distributing only BitTorrent software,
not the copyrighted torrents themselves. I apologize if the prior
disapproval of your application was made in error.

 

Your ad placement and coloring does not work for me. I would try integrating the ads in a more prominent position with maybe a smaller size. Work on customizing the coloring so it looks like the advertising is a "useful" part of your site without violating Google's TOS. Sites like CNN dot com know how to do this well... check out any article on their site and you will find google ads tightly integrated within the content...

 

Having a free web hosting account isn't exactly painting you as a serious webmaster which hurts your credibility as an information resource IMO.

 

Thanks for the help, i just got an idea of switching the advertisment section to download latest firefox. would that be better to?

 

I just realized how funny that was. lol
