PS: Per Google Adsense TOS, don't get into too much detail about stats. But, I think total sites views(even pages that don't have ads on them right now) and approximate earnings would be okay.
...... how to make 2500US$/month on 60,000 pageview? what did I miss?
Your income is allowed to be discussed anyway.
So, 2800 to 4000 page views per day, and 2700 to 3800 dollars per month.
Average 3300 daily page views, and 3000 dollars monthly.
For two years.
Secret is GENUINE useful unique content on a few different subject niche / hobby sites. And I seldom add or update anything.
And google search hates me.
Then we also have the people who make up stories like making $3000 a week, yet they can't prove anything and without prove nobody should believe anything right? ;)
you seldome add or update content, and search engines hate you. how come you keep getting the constant traffic, i mean really i can't understand it.
repeat traffic come for updated content
fresh traffic come from search engines
so, is all you are getting from other sites linking to you, using AdWords or offline sources?
The problem with my site is that I don't get fresh users, they're all regulars, so I need to start advertising. Anybody got any ideas?
This is my site by the way, <snip>
Its an <snip> and it's got articles and guides, yet I'm bottom of every search engine.

"To support [site goes here], please click this advertisement."I'm pretty sure that's againt Adsense TOS.
umm... just slightly
First of all --> best remove your URL from your post. It's not allowed here.
Secondly, as others have said --> remove any reference to any advertising or you will be toast.
Ok, now for the suggestions.
1. Go into Global Configuration and under the "SEO" tab have both settings on 'yes'. That will help your URLs to be search engine friendly (right now they aren't).
2. You might want to "cut" in one or more locations into the template to place your adblocks so that you can get them in the areas suggested by Google's heatmap. You want your visitor's eyes to be able to see your adblocks without scrolling any more than necessary. The extreme top & bottom of a page is a really poor location.
You'll need to look for something like the following (which is the main content area of your page):
<tr>
<td colspan="<?php echo $colspan;?>" class="body_outer">
<?php mosMainBody();?>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php mosLoadModules ( 'mymodule' );?></td>
</tr> where 'mymodule' is any name you want to give the location. You will also have to add 'mymodule' to any unused position in the "Module Positions" page in your administrator area. You can add more than just one if you like but be sure to give each one a unique name.
3. You might want to try putting your search into the left column, perhaps just above your mainmenu. You'll likely get more usage of it there. You can set it up to show the logo at the top, the entry area in the middle, and the search button below. You might need to reduce the number of characters that can be entered to about 21 or so. This can all be done at the time you generate the code.
4. Get more content on the page. Pretend it has no pictures or that you are a blind person reading your page using a text reader. Does what you have written make sense? Would a blind person have any clue what you are writing about? Just food for thought. Write as if no photo exists - give full and detailed descriptions, expand what you have already written since you have no shortage of space to work with. Writing for the web is an art, but an easy one to learn.
I also use Mambo and love it. Most of the templates that I've tried out I've had to add new module positions to in order to get the adblocks where I want them.
