I got too much 0.05$/Click .

How to avoide these problem instead of blocking the ads

[trocobob]

hello
I have a forum .
last 2 months i got too much 0.05$/click .. so with more than 45 click i get only 2.5$ .. it is a veritable problem .
just to mention i have blocked many ads which i suspect to be the less paying ... but the bad revunues are stil the same ..

there is another methode to avoide thse useless clicks?

Thanks in advance

On what basis are you blocking advertisers? Are you blocking MFAs, or legit advertisers that you don't think pay well?

If MFAs, good, but if the other, you might be hurting yourself. Even if you have correctly identified a particular ad as the source of a 5 cent click, that SAME advertiser might have other ad campaigns that pay better. You may actually be reducing your income by blocking them. So only block MFAs.

Two other comments:

Since you run a forum, you may be getting low-value clicks because your clicks aren't converting well. Not much you can do about that.

You may also be in a low-value area. If that's the case, changing the subject focus of the forum is the only thing you can do.

What so you mean by MFAs.?

I block some ads by filering it from the control panel : blocking links like ( #*$!x.com or yyyyy.net )

that is what im doing .

i have blocked some ads which give 0.05 and 0.10$/click .

I have a lot of those $0.04 too but I don't block them.
For all I know the ads that will replace them wil generate no clicks whatsoever.

Lots of sites earn 5 to 10 cents a click. That's the way it goes. It's a competitive bidding environment, so if you block all the 5 cent bidders you'll most likely start seeing 4 cent clicks. And so on.

trocobob,

MFA means Made for AdSense. There have been a lot of discussions here over the past month about blocking MFAs or not blocking MFAs. Browse the forum for some of them.

You should NOT be blocking advertisers just because they are low-paying. You'll just make things worse for yourself, for the reasons that I and others have already posted.

Block advertisers ONLY when they are direct competition to you, or maybe when they have an MFA site. But read about the MFA issue before you do that.

Or when they are really off-topic.
I made a post about a graphic program for instance.
The word paint and brushes in it triggered ads for acrylic paint and whatnot - even with the said article no longer being on the frontpage. :/

Which makes me wonder - isn't the adsense bot smart enough to know the real general topic about a site (software for instance)? So that ads about paint and pens aren't really the best thing to put on m site.

My meta-tags are clear enough about it.

block ebay, yahoo and other shopping sites. they pay little but rank high because of good keyword matches.

Your post will make people who got no clicks or $0.01/click cry....
