How to get people to click your ads?

[elivate]

Hey all,

I put up a blog a while back and I had big plans to make sure I posted every day, well, lets just say that I sort of fell behind, and now I have really let it go...

Anyway, I have been checking the stats and my adsense and I am getting decent traffic, actually traffic is increasing, and I now have a PR of 3, but I get no clicks at all...

I am going to start posting again more frequenlty to drive even more traffic...

Anyway, it is a WordPress blog, and I can't seem to get the ads to show up on the secondary pages, when you actually click the headline of the days post...

Any suggestions?

hmm.. I would say this.. do not give all the information users want.. keep some information so they tend to explore.. generating additional clicks..

Thanks!

That is a very good idea, and that is why I was asking about getting the ads to show up on the second page... Within the blog post would be the best...

I have had some success doing this with blogger.com blogs, but not with WordPress...

Well wordpress is really easy to blend in with adsense i have this blog whic is giving me a good amount of clicks now and it hasnt been up evn for a month now

It dosnt look that great but i provide a lot of uptodat information but "incomplete" so i think i get hits from people wanting more!

I need to find a new tmplate and this was just a quick job to make money now i am sure i will develop it more

set your article and google adsense text with the same color and background, then visitors may click ads by mistake... lol

integration that is too good , is bad for the advertisers though. no ROI on their advertising

Not much funny about ripping off advertisers.

Also a good way to get your google account banned and websites banned from search engines.

find the hottest girl in the world, take her photo, and put it in the banner

Yeah, but then people click on the banner, not the ads, right?

How to get people to click your ads?

Well, you don't need to get people to click... they will click if the content is interesting for them. The only thing you need to do is show them the ads so they can see them and read, and eventually if they find something good they will click.

Doing this everyone wins, you and the advertiser. If you almost "force" the users to click, then all of us are penalised... the advertisers don't spend more money because the ads don't convert and we don't make money.

Let's keep this symbiosis (publisher / advertiser) win-win =)

Well, traffic is still increasing but still no clicks..

Also, I just found out that my site is now listed in DMOZ, I would have thought that I would have been notified about that, but I guess not, I just found it by checking out some stats on urltrends...

I guess the next step is to try and optimize the ads a bit better...
