    Google Ads just not working for me anymore...what should I try next?

    I've been running Google Ads for 4 years now and I think its time to try something else.

    Some traffic numbers:

    Pageviews per month - 1,810,280
    Visits per month - 180,015
    People per month - 32,613

    Google Analytics is showing the average time someone is on the site is around 12 minutes.

    What kind of numbers should I expect to be making through advertising? Is Google still the best or are there some other viable alternatives?

    I've done a lot to SEO the site, but people tend to click more on banner ads instead of text ads. Or people just arent clicking at all.

    Open to all suggestions and feedback.

    If you have a quality website, your best option outside of AdSense is to solicit direct advertisers. It's a lot of work, but you can usually make more money this way. Leave AdSense in the rotation, and just swap it out when you get direct ad contracts.

    "but people tend to click more on banner ads instead of text ads."

    Obvious guy says - did you try running your adsense ad units as images only?

    Soliciting advertisers directly takes too much time. Try adding affiliate product feeds to your site...something like popshops.com

    Have you tested different areas of the page to place the ads?

    I have not - I've only done both text and image ads for my selection. I'll have to give that a shot.
