Tons of Impressions, But BAD CTR...please review

I have a ton of impressions on my ads (around 20-30K a day)...I have preety bad CTR with my ads, therefore i am not earning as much revenue as I can with that amount of impressions...i cannot say the exact CTR because it is against TOS but you get the picture...

I was wondering if anyone could review my site and tell me what I could do with my ads. Placement? Size? Color? Etc.... Anything helps and i hope to hear from alot of people so I can increase my revenue...

Also I am recieving about 10cents a click....i thought myspace was sort of high pay but i guess not...any way i can increase this also?

P.S. The site is www.sadstatue.com

Thanks,
Jordan

 

I also looked at how much keywords cost for adwords publishers, they are alot higher than my CPC is (10 cents). I used googles site analysis which produced these keywords that related to my site: www.sadstatue.com

myspace background music code $0.97
backgrounds for myspace $0.79
codes for myspace $0.65
myspace backgrounds $0.64
myspace backgrounds codes $0.62
myspace codes $0.31
myspace $0.22
music codes for myspace $0.17


Why is there such a gap between how much i make per click and what google printed out for me when i researched the keywords used by my website.

Thank you for taking your time.

 

could someone please review my website? or leave any comments? thanks

 

On the home page: move your 336 ad block to the top of the page, too just below "welcome to sadstatue".

Go thru the rest of the site and place a 336 block @ the top of every page.

add a adlink to the index.php just below the "header" & above the "body"


but at the end of the day you have to deal with the fact, that myspace traffic sucks

 

im not 100% sure on where you think the ads should go...i made a crude drawing in paint to see if i understood you correctly...take a look at it and tell me what you think




THANKS!

 

yes, switch it up there. And yes, the adlink there.

goodluck

 

thanks....ill tell you when its updated and what you think

one part i dont undestand is why the lettering is so close to eachother...how do i fix this
(referring to the ad links)


EDIT: also please read my second thread...it has another question...thanks

 

The design in general isn't best for trying to increase CTR..

 

why? and what would you suggest?

 

I'm a little confused. You say you are getting tons of impression but no click-thrus. Please define tons. As far as I can tell you aren't ranked on Alexa, so, it can't be tons. Your site is clean which is a good start. I would also consider putting a leaderboard where you said "links". Good luck.

If you are getting 20 - 30k a day, you should be ranked on alexa. Something is missing. The only thing I can think of is it's a few people playing games and everytime they play it makes an impression. Slip should check his/her web stats to see how many unique visitors a day and then judge by that.

 

Impressions are as worthless as hits. The only number that matters is unique visitors.

P.S. Wasn't this question already posted in another thread a while back, got a bunch of answers, and you didn't bother doing any of the things we suggested? So now you're asking again? Um, okay.

 

I think the moch up you did is a step in the right direction... I am very new to this aswell so I am contemplating issues such as these too.

 

yes on alexa i was ranked in the low 1million about a week ago...and now all of the sudden i am not ranked. is there any reason this happened or has happened to someone else in the past?

the suggestions that dreamedia have increased my CTR 2 fold...thank you very much

my unique visitors per day average is: 9-12K...sometimes lower depending on the day but that is preety accurate

 

my CTR has gone up 2+% since i moved around my ads...thank you very much for your help everyone...

please refer to the second post of the thread...i had another question...thanks

 

my CTR just went up another 3%....thanks so much everyone

 

I believe the difference in the numbers you posted and what you get paid is the cut that google takes.

 

the reason you may not be making as much as expected is that there are so many sites of the same niche, google doesnt/cant run the high paying ads on all of them so it will chose the ones with the most traffic.

 

yeah i understand...i make about 12cents in the mornings and 5cents at night....which im guessing means that the high paying ads are finished wth their daily limit by that time...am i correct?
