I may be an old hand at building sites, but not at marketing them. Now that I'm doing the promos for me, I'm working on learning the ropes.

I run a low carb support community.

Creeping up EVER so slowly...

Posted 03-27-2008 at 05:47 PM by goddess_dix
My adsense revenue is slooooowly, sloooowly starting to creep up. I updated my plugins that allows for slightly better tracking: I can now see what page lots of the clicks are on. (FF still doesn't cooperate.) But it's still pretty low overall.

I tried to add a clicktracking script, but it worked poorly and seemed to lag the site as well, so I dropped that.

Ultimately, I want to continue to optimize my adsense, and then integrate alternative ads in there as well. I'm just doing adsense currently because 1. It's already set up, and 2. it's paying the bills.

I also need to develop some stuff for advertisers and do some direct advertising as well as contextual. Overall, my advertising/revenue goals for the site are to diversify so all my eggs don't remain in one basket.

I was also wrong about the traffic of the site...looking at traffic data from a year ago, I am still significantly below my old totals. Which is good and bad, I guess. It sucks that I lost so much with the redesign, but it's also good that my much lower revenue is, in part, coming from much lower traffic. And my traffic is still climbing, very slowly. I'm running about 650 uniques a day now...
