    Getting Traffic, Not Earning!

    At the minute I have ads showing to guests only. I am getting between 1200 and 2000 uniques a day but making nothing at all.

    The site is at Unofficial SoccerAM Forums - SoccerAM.net

    I just literally use the top bar to have a horizontal banner.

    How could I improve this?

    Thanks

    Your site template looks nicely organized. How many guests are you getting versus returning members?

    What is your bounce rate?

    You definitely should experiment with the ad placement. Try a different setup each week until you find one that works better. There are many AdSense optimization tips on the Web, and you should check our the forum we have here too.

    In my experience with forums, I tend to monetize better ads that do NOT blend with the forum, you'll have to make some tests, I change ad link colors for a week and then I compare earnings.

    I get some nice vb database errors on your internal pages.

    I also don't see any ads on the site
