It's almost time to monetize
Hey Guys,
<b>My Traffic Stats</b>
I have been thinking about how to start monetizing my php site for a few days now. I get about 50 to 100 visits from google with 120 to 200 page views a day. The max i had was 2 days ago with 98 visits and 218 page views. The average page view is 2 pages per visit and the average time spent on the site is little over 2 minutes. The bounce rate is still high, 65%.
<b>Skeptical about Google Ad sense or PPC</b>
Recently, i added google adsense to my site. I have had 500 impressions and 0 clicks so far.
I'm seeing that people come to the site through google search to look for a quick answer to their query. Less than half the people bother to read the text to help find answers to their questions. The ones that do read, get their answers and leave.
The google ads are not too relevant to my content and the ones that are are just not too interesting.
Should i wait to see adsense click improve my site before trying other forms of ads?
Could it be the placement of the ads on my site as you see it now?
<b>What Ads should i target?</b>
What kind of ads will be more appealing on my website given the theme of my site?
What do you think of php books referrals from amazon? Or Web Hosting referrals?
It's going to take some experimenting and time for me to see what works best. But i like to find out what kind of ads will suit my site and be beneficial to my revenue stream.
