How much did you earn through Adsense in the last 12 months?
Have you done serious testing? If not, you need to try all combinations of ad size and shape, ad placment on the page, and ad colors, to figure out what works for you. Trust me, there are huge differences.
I figure I must be doing something wrong.
In my opinion, you have serious potential to make $50+ dollars a day with that may visitors.
My suggestion (whether you want it or not) would be to move the AdSense block from the current position to a skyscraper down the side. As previously suggested, I would also make sure the background colours on the AdSense block matches the background of the content.
I think part of the problem is that the current AdSense block only has room for 2 ads, making it larger will give your visitors more choice.
Only my 2 cents worth.
What is your URL, I can't see it in your user profile.

you are doing something wrong then. 10,000 visitors per day, which means more than 10,000 page views (maybe many more), translating in $2.50 is a CPM of less than or equal to 25 cents. That's simply not reasonable. I would consider it still relatively low if you were making 10 times that (but maybe that is just my experience in my niche).
I have observed that the AdSense's CPM varies from 10 cents to $200+.
Even in the range of a $2.50 CPM, there's any number of banner programs that should match that on a consistent basis.
With 10k page views a day - 300k per month, even a $2 CPM = $600 USD a month.
Don't ask me what banner companies to use, but you can search these forums for various suggestions.
hey joshualane, I don't see your email address?
Looking for some moves to raise revenues.
Anybody got any advices
my site getting more than 5000 hits per day
Each call to the server is a hit. Say your page has 5 images on it.
Get the page = 1 hit
Get first image = 1 hit
Get second image = 1 hit
google ad = 1 hit (maybe 2)
css file = 1 hit
any other external factors to build the page = 1 hit each.
I think page views would be the most relevant factor here. Number of pages served vs $'s that is if you have adsense sitewide. It depends on the site ,maybe for some # of visits would be more relevant or # of unique visitors if you have something like a forum where you have a certain # of regulars - you know they wont click on any ads so you depend on unique visitors minus regulars.
I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong!
I get some U$150 average monthly with some 15.000 or more visits average...
am I picking the wrong theme or what?
is that 15,000 visits/day or month?
Month!
Site is basically spanish language... can't figure out how to reach 15,000 daily, I guess it's virtually impossible.
Hearing of those making $10,000 per month or even $1,000 and $2,000 drove me crazy. My site is not even making $10 per month!
I know there are some smart experts here. So what's the main problem with my site making it so low on profit from adsense?

(By the way, the drop in Dec was due to changing my design/layout which made the site temporarily look terribly bad driving visitors away.)

[edit reason] no urls please [/edit]
I get very few visitors. I guess this is the main problem, but could not solve it yet.
I don't know how many I get exactly, because I am changing my site constantly these days and visit it myself and its pages a lot, so I have many impressions that are my own. But perhaps I get less that 50 per day. Maybe 30 impressions per day. Probably less than 10 unique visitors per day I guess.
I know I need to work on promoting the site, but it seems this will take a LOT of time still till it works. It seems the only traffic I get is drived from a 3000-member Yahoo! Group I moderate and I put a link to the site at that group (an everage of 10 new Egyptian IT pros join the group every day).

I need badly to promote my site, but just find myself powerless.

[edit reason] no urls please - please double check tos [/edit]
I haven't made a dime off my site in the last seven years.
I like my little niche, and want people to see my 'knitting',
so to speak. Maybe, when I retire and Social Security puts me on
a diet of dog and cat food, I will think differently.
Until then, I prefer the white hat, Chinese food, and European beers.

is that 15,000 visits/day or month? Month!
With that traffic I'd have computed your monthly ad revenue at $45 so $50 is a bit better.
REVENUE = TRAFFIC * CTR * CPC
Assuming average CTR of %1.5 and average CPC of $.20 that would be $45 on 15,000 visitors.

Some of you will think this is just nuts.
Your site is about UFO's, what else would we think?
