    Hello,

    I have 2 audio sites:

    http://www.loops4free.net i have around 250 visitors a day and 15-25 clicks i only earn around 0.50-1$ a day.

    http://www.reasonfreaks.com : 3000+ visitors a day 30-40 clicks earnings around 1$-2$.

    I'm new in the adsense world. Does someone can give me some advice to increase my earnings ?

    Our do i build the wrong kind of sites?


    Cheers
    Kris

    i see your site reasonfreaks.com.
    it's only use 460 x 60 ads

    try to use 336x280 or 250x250

    my site is freewarelist.net

    only 500 visitor a day but more than 2 $

    i use this code to blend the ads with content:
    <table border="0" align="left"><tr><td>
    google ads code
    </td></td></table>
    Code (markup):
    good luck

    www.loops4free.net

    site has a very nice design, but no ads are above the fold, so natrually CTR will be low. your putting a banner inbetween the box, put it under the first box Audio Communities & News and blend colors

    reason freaks

    ad at top screams ad, you want to blend your ads so they look like content. more importanly you need to incoperate the ads within the content, put a pic by them or something. put a vertical banner under the navigation

    goood luck, very nice sites

    Do you maybe know why the earnings are so low like on 3 clicks 0.03$ for loops4free.net.

    Also another question why is it so important to not giving the ads to much attention in the content ?

    I found that his ads on this site are very good chosen.
    You know, there are some tips that you can make your ads invisible, to look more like content, or to make them eye strapping.

    keep on with the good work.

    Try to filter your ads, it will be a loss to display some ads to some adsense sites, that are paying less then 5c per click.

    very nice websites.

    I've been looking a bit into your ads, I haven't seen any MFAas in your ads.

    Here, try this tool: http://uv.bidtool.overture.com/d/search/tools/bidtool/

    It shows the ads for overture, the prices are almost the same with Google Ads.

    After using this tool you will see that for your keywords you can get only low paid ads.

    Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Thanks

    One tip for reason freaks,
    Try putting one ad in content, something like the middle of the page.
    You can use a Large Rectangle, it will fit your design.

    Here is a page full of adsense tips: http://www.seopedia.org/contextual-advertising/google-adsense-adwords/5-google-adsense-secrets-tips-and-tricks/

    It says something there about your banner ads... try it out.
