I'm getting hundreds of visitors a day to my site ezsmiley.com but I've only made like $3 off of it, and all of that from Widgetbux toys and electronics.
I tried some COPEAC ringtone ads, no clicks.
I tried adsense, no clicks.
Is it my placement? I did some research, and I tried to place my page elements around the "F" shape that web page analysts have said people typically follow when they read web pages (reference: Blogging Popular: The Hidden "F" In Your Web pages.)
- Banner ad along the top of blog posts (for multiple posts, will make up the middle arm of the F)
- Banner ad along left side
- Main attraction boxes in between left column and content on the right; my main menu choices, and some small ads interspersed, so that as people look over the colorful menu choices, ads will appear in between then, or right after them.
- Ad at the bottom, since people have a psychological need to do something at the end of the page.
This is just for the front page. For the Creation page, there's just an ad at the bottom right now.
For the gallery pages, there's a left and bottom bar.
So, in that context, ignoring cosmetic concerns such as color choices and header graphics, what would you say about the placement of the ads?
I will try to find some more offers for younger people, but I'm only in COPEAC, Linkshare, Adsense, and Widgetbux right now, and Wigetbux is pretty limited for choices, and Adsense keeps bringing up competitors even though I've tried to block them.... I just don't have much content besides Smileys Smileys Smileys everywhere to trigger some kind of context.
