My A D S E N S E #s Suck

[namewaiter]

This is from my account's 'alltime' report. Does your alltime report look this bad?

Page Impressions Clicks Page CTR eCPM Earnings
166,735 ............ 327 .... 0.2% .. $0.30 . $49.51

My opinion is these numbers awful? Low click through, low $ per click. Is there ways to improve em?

Ok, I was just wondering what the domain is so I can take a look at what it's targeting and how your ads are displayed, if you want pm me the domains.

Thanks

Must be a forum board as typically only forums get such incredibly dismal numbers like that. In fact some forums have .01% or even lower CTR's so at .02% you may be a bit better than averege.

thanks for the help CS and trader ... yea i'm finding out it is the type of my sites - forums and free forum hosting sites. i haven't done any real content (subject focused) sites as of yet.

I suggest CPM ads for that type of site. It's common that those type of sites have very low ctr.

Google adjusts you CPC to match your CTR and page impressions...they assume the quality is dismal if you have such a low click rate when in fact the opposite might be true...Yahoo publisher network (at least for now) pays you the same for ads regardless fo having a million impressions and 2 clicks or 5 impressions and 2 clicks..and regardles of "how" the ad got to show up (where as google bases your revenue on matching specific keyword phrases to trigger that ad) you might want to check them out..some close friends of mine have large sites that get like 100k page views a day and rev tripled and even quadrupled with yahoo publisher ads...clicks might have even went down but the overall CPC is way way way higher...one site used to get like 0.08/click with google now it's averaging like .60-.70/click or something...and you can target specific ads regardless of your site content!

I have had once then that , and suprise suprise my sites a forum. When I recieve the inspiration to make a potentially succesful oringinal non-forum site then hopefully my earnings will be alot better. But its when will I get that inspiring idea

I have a CTR so low it shows as 0.0%-0.1% on average, Yet Yahoo still earns a decent amount for me, Adsense would be paying me pennies for this.

These are the posts which make me want to cry!
I can't get a ypn account for some freakin reason. I can't figure it out. I have tried 3 times and they never get back to me. 3 different sites all completely different from each other.
My best CTR is 4% and most of my sites are like 1% or less with lots of impressions and lots of clicks.
This makes me think that I may be one of those cases where YPN kicks butt.

Anyone know anyone at Yahoo who can help me get in !

I've got 80k impressions - 250 clicks - $9.

96k impressions - 900 clicks - $65.

Barf.
