With that out of the way, I have a question: Is it time for me to leave Adsense and join with someone else? I own a gaming site (Final Fantasy) that gets around 600 unique visitors per day and quite a number of pageviews. I have multiple Google Adsense ads on both my site and forum, but there's a problem: Not only is my CTR quite low, but when I do get clicks, the amount of money I get is VERY small. For example, today's first two clicks have netted me a total of $0.02. The other day, I had 12 clicks for a profit of $0.49. And the one before that, six clicks for a profit of... $0.14. Hmm...
Yes, I'll have a lucky day or two when I get more than a dollar, but it's been on a steady decline for quite some time now. Just doesn't seem right.
Do you reckon I should switch to someone else? And if so, who would you recommend for a site like mine? Adbrite? Kontera? Both?
...someone else? I need some advice.
Its normal for this this keyword as well as most of low paying keywords. Also this month really sux. But still there aren't really good alternative for AdSense so far.
Join bidvertiser!(as I did) and choose to select ads that want to be shown to your visitors.
then don't accept for example ads giving under 50/40/30/20 cents, and approve others!
then some clicks may give u even nearly $4 !
Hope this help u...
But have you actually received a payment from them yet?
I guess the problem is that I've read a lot of dodgy things about many of these alternative companies. For example, not being paid or clicks not counting. However, I really hope to get some more advice, because yet another day has gone by and all I've earned is a not-so-impressive $0.14. -_- A wasted opportunity in my mind.
NyahKon, bidvertiser is one of the best!
I heard a lot about them! and the minimum payment is only $10 ! and to paypal!
so, I got about $8 from them till now! and heard they really pay! I will tell you when I got the money...
bidvertiser - beware of these jokesters. I've been battling with them to return money for ad campaigns I had running. They clearly allow a lot of bogus traffic, extremely low quality traffic, counting clicks that never did come to my websites etc. If they treat their advertisers that way, I tremble to think of how they treat their publishers.
Most of the times, they consist of just search pages or bunch of keywords. You can visit these URLs without clicking your own links (Just copy/paste the ad URL and extract the advertisers site URL inside that paid adsense ad URL). Adsblacklist.com is also a good website to study in this regard.
Well, according to you guys, I'm getting worried!
but I contacted their support several times and got fast response and complete responses! I thought their support is nice!
Also, as I approved only ads having +50cent revenue, my revenue that sometimes get made by my own clicks grow fast! I have about $9 till now.
and after I got my $10, I will tell everybody if they pay or they dont! so dont risk till I get my revenue!
Anyone? I really need to get this right. My revenue was finally starting to increase a little bit for a few days and now it has dipped back down to a pathetic $.01-.04 per click. It's not even worth having the ads up at this point.
I have been paid by Bidvertiser.. but on the back end it seems like my advertiser money goes quicker though... not a good feeling... but the traffic is traffic I can't complain
I added bidvertiser ads to my proxy pages, made about $10 in the first week and total of less than $6 over the ensuing 2 months.
I thought this was suspicious so I placed some bidvertiser ads on a site that gets many clicks/day, often more than 100% CTR. Over a 2 week period, only 1 click was recorded!
I emailed their support regarding this and got a canned response about "we do not count multiple clicks from the same visitor, we do not count multiple clicks from private networks, and if you do not want to get banned do not click your own ads."
W_T_F ? Are these guys for real? The runaround they are giving whitebark leads me to believe they are working both ends.
Time to leave Adsense? HELP!
