Maximising Adsense, or find alternative?

Hey guys, I have a few questions about maximising my income using adsese. www.golom.com is my first site and i've been working on its development for a little more than a year now. I've recently signed up with adsense to try and moneterize the website and forum. From what i've read (and I may be wrong) is on avg CPM pays $1-3 in the entertainment / gaming industry. I've been getting Much lower than that.

Here is an example of the page veiws vs earnings:

Can anyone give me some feedback on what i've done or what I should do to improve my avg CPM? Looking at the site we have alot of SEO issuses since most of the out put is in flash. Though i'm not sure if that will affect this?

I hope someone can help me in the right direction. It would be much apreciated!

Thanks again!

-G

Re: Maximising Adsense, or find alternative?

Firstly, you probably shouldnt post a screenshot of your Adsense stats - publicly disclosing your stats is against Google's TOS and can lead to your account being banned.

I think one of your problems might be that many of the ad impressions are occuring on the forum, where CTR will be very, very minimal. This is because forum members who view the ads will become used to them very quickly and will begin to ignore them (like most of us do with the Adsense on DNF).

I don't really know what to suggest, other than that you probably wont get over $1 CPM if the majority of the ads are being shown on the forum.

Thanks for the response! I've seen a script somewhere that places ads in the acutal forum posts themselves. Where it looks like google adsense is the user posting. Has anyone used anything like this? If so have they found it their CTR percentages go up?

Regarding the Google's TOS, I would think this would fall under a consultant privlege information,since this is a premium forum with indivuduals who have had success in this industy, and the nature of my post was to improve my situation not disclose information. Though i maybeb wrong

Any other feedback?

Thanks
-G
