Want to make $3000 a month with this site...

[Matthew]

Hello everybody,

I am excited to be part of this forum! I created a site almost a year ago. It is at http://www.dxcurrencies.com. I have had relatively good success with this page when it comes to Adsense, having received upwards of $2000 of commissions in one month.

However I have noticed a decrease in eCPM and CTR over the past two months. Perhaps some of you could take a look and give me some suggestions on how to improve my CTR and eCPM?

Thanks in advance!

Hey Matthew,

Tried to view your site but suspect you may have exceeded your bandwidth with all the traffic your post produced...it's not coming up.

I'll check again later.

[Matthew]

That's odd, as there is way more bandwidth than I need. It's working now.

One quick thing to try would be moving the AdSense block in the menu area to the top. Anything below the fold isn't as likely to be seen or clicked on.

[Matthew]

That's a good idea. I'll try that first.

Thanks!

[Matthew]

Any other ideas or opinions?

Hi Matthew,

I am not sure this will help increase your clickthorough, but it might.

I would change the green color to something else, and the AdSense links to blue: there is too much red, and it's hard on the eyes.

[Matthew]

That's not a bad idea either. I always try to match my link colors with my ad colors, but maybe you are right about the whole red thing.

Thanks again!
