I'm not having any luck. Can't figure out if it is just bad luck or im doing something wrong.
How long have you had this website? I would be patient... take a step back, and you may get a better idea on how to retain visitors on your site.

To increase my odds of earning revenue i would have to monetize every page. Should i be monetizing each page with different product?
I don't think you need to necessarily monetize each page, but if you find an opportunity to monetize a page, definitely take advantage of it.

i've started to get google traffic to my new ajax email form script page but the bounse is 100%. why? I have exactly what they are looking for but yet they choose to leave the page and click back right away?
Is it my site design. Do people automatically think i have bad/simple/ugly design so i probably don't know what im talking about?
I think the design and organization are great! Can you tell if people are downloading it or not? Maybe they are downloading it, then they bounce. Is it free? If it is, maybe you should drop in the word "free". Can you possibly collect their emails in return of the downloads? You can market it as you will update them about new updates to the website or new and cool stuff in the world of PHP.

Is it possible that your competitors are just checking out what else is out there... and maybe actual visitors interested in your information will come soon?


As far as monetizing your PHP website in general... (sorry this is a little basic, but it may lead you to some ideas) what else would someone looking up php codes be interested in... coffee? comics of a certain kind? php-based unique stuff? geeky t-shirts?

What about a market of people who might need PHP but do not know it. For example, I signed up for a grad class last semester (i ended up dropping it) about Perl programming for biologists... who would have thought that some biologists would need Perl programming... think of PHP based applications of interest to different groups of people, and maybe you would be able to market your services to them (although this may be more time consuming that you want).

Also, have you considered being a free-lancer... where someone can hire you to write a specific program?

What about college students who are taking PHP courses... they may appreciate your help (for a small fee )

Take a step back, a deep breath, and I am sure you will come up with great stuff!

I will let you know if I think of other ideas.

I would be careful with that... it may get you in trouble with Google.
