Why Your Adsense Income Is So Low!

[aceseo]

No matter what forum I visit, there are people desperately trying to find out how to earn more adsense income from their site

My adsense income is my living, and it's growing month, on month - but any good adsense info is most welcome - and I just got this in my email:

There seems to be no doubt that AdSense is getting harder.

One issue is that Google is now giving advertisers much more data
about where their ads are and how they are performing.

As a heavy AdWords advertiser I can now see exactly which web pages
in the AdSense network are generating profitable traffic for my clients
and which are not.

I then react to this data by stopping my clients' ads from appearing
on poor quality web pages or those pages that are just not relevant
enough.

As a publisher, it's your job to provide good quality content on your
site so that advertisers get high quality traffic and one way to do
this is to write articles that are going to educate visitors into
seeing the value of products and services that get advertised on
your site.

If you don't do this you may well find that the number of advertisers
competing to advertise on your site drops. You may also find that
advertisers reduce the amount they are willing to pay per click.

Result: reduced AdSense income.

Perhaps you've been experiencing this yourself!

Hopefully, that answers some of the questions about why your adsense earnings are so low

The reason why there is a lot of people complaining about adsense earnings is probably because a lot of people run low quality sites and don't get enough traffic to them. Particularly the auto-blog sites.

It's so simple :
Great content with low traffic : 10->100$
Great content with high traffic : 100$ -> 10000$
Bad content with low traffic : 0->20$
Bad content with high traffic : Impossible :p

I can't remember who sent it - but I'm pretty sure it wasn't from that site

I get a lot of email, but I'm pretty picky who I get it from

I think that site just aggregated the article

May be but 1) it;s always a good idea to reference where an article came from or who wrote it and 2) that's the only site that came up when I google'ed for terms from that material.

Not trying to give you a hard time but having had over 7k posts of mine stolen at another forum, it's one of my buttons.

that's bad to hear.

Can we get back on topic and forgot about this article thing. It's a really good article that we should be discussing about. (Sorry to hear this drmike)

Thanks

Back to the topic on hand:

There seems to be no doubt that AdSense is getting harder.

Actually my numbers are up for Adsense, both in percentages and Money per click. Which is good since my traffic is down like 20% compared to this time last year.

One issue is that Google is now giving advertisers much more data
about where their ads are and how they are performing.

Advertisers have always had theses tools but previously they were handled by third party companies. Companies like (Oh I don;t know. Pick some big huge corporation that uses Adwords) are more willing to drop the $5k for those tools. With them built in (ie Google's purchase of Urchin) now, anyone can use them.

As a heavy AdWords advertiser I can now see exactly which web pages
in the AdSense network are generating profitable traffic for my clients
and which are not.

That's if you run targeted adverts. I have to wonder if more companies are doing such. I see some rather silly adverts on my pages and have to wonder if the folks advertising on my site have ever even visited it. I kind of doubt it.

I then react to this data by stopping my clients' ads from appearing
on poor quality web pages or those pages that are just not relevant
enough.

Again, that's if you have the time to do so. I do it if I find a company that I would rather not advertise for (ie Scientology or DDO for example. I noticed that DDO has gotten back on my site. Need to remove them again.)

Mine are up too - but it took some work

The average person who slapped adsense code on their website a few years ago, are seeing a case of diminishing returns, month on month - so did I until a few months ago

I was ready to take adsense off all my sites, but I needed money, and adsense still looked like the best way to make it

It was a case of more backlink building, or more content generation - I went for more content generation

To make the sort of money from adsense, that you got easily a few years ago, now takes real effort - and a good amount of knowledge, about doing the right things that will make a difference

Wouldn't that be more due to the explosion of splogs as well as normal sites? I'd have to go digging for the numbers but I know Google a few years back had to rewrite their backend code to allow for the huge increase of the number of index pages online.

We're all competing for a set number of eyeballs.

We can only make guesses about the factors involved - just that anyone that's been in the adsense game for a few years can't have failed to notice that publishers now have to work far harder just to make the same amount of adsense earnings that was easy peasy before

I believe most people will simply throw the towel in with adsense, as they will be unable to make it pay without investing a significant amount of cash and a large amount of their time first

Without at least 1,000 adsense impressions a day, you won't make enough to call it "a living"

If your visitors don't come from search engine results pages, then the adsense click values won't be high enough either

Garbage visitors from social network sites won't do you much good either

So yes, you're right - you need large quantities of visitors generated from your site's good content
