I'm wondering if i'm doing anything wrong as I'm getting terrible adsense conversions at less than 1% of clicks per 1000 views. What's the average rate of conversion that you are getting. It's pretty discouraging to stare at 0.40 cents earned per 1000 views or something to that effect.
I do not fare all that much better as far as the CTR % goes. My over all % is 1.3 and £16 earned
As far as it goes my plan is to try to get as much traffic as possible so I can get way more impressions a day and of course the best way I can think of is to write more hubs! I also hope to get a better instinct for what people are looking to read online and how they find it so that I can give it to 'em.
Patience and Persistence, the 2 P's.
The click view ratio tends to focus on two main things
The Quality of your Traffic
The Relevance of your Products
Traffic quality is based on people finding your hub organically through Google, and finding it because your hub is what they were searching for.
The relevance of the product is the relevance of the product that the traffic may be looking to buy.
When it comes to Google AdSense it is hard to target the adverts, so you have to focus on the Hubs quality, to improve traffic quality.
Well targeted organic Google traffic should click through more!
Having your hubs read by fellow Hubbers is nice (and increases your hub score), but unless they click on the ads, or recommend your hubs at other sites, it doesn't help your click-through rate.
A number of Hubbers have mentioned that they do better if they just write interesting, or even mundane-sounding hubs, and just ignore the keyword stuff.
You also have no control over the type of ads Google puts up on your hub. Could be your subject doesn't exactly match the intent of the ad. You have to think like a marketer, as though you were getting someone interested in buying something that will solve a problem for them, or make them feel better somehow.
You just have to write something interesting, while in the back of your mind, imagining some sort of related product that someone might want or need.
It would obviously help to promote your hubs at other sites, same as you would if your had your own website.
If you want a lot of visitors you first need to pick a popular topic.

Google adsense declinedI joined hubpages only some days and I have only two hubs. Google declined me in german as I'm living in Germany. I read that some people suggested in forum that I could contact them directly. But at their email, they didn't give me the reasons of rejection and said if I...

When trying to get approved for Google AdSense, does the Account Type matter?

Google Adsense only provides help with the custom URL where you can change the color and font of the ads in the hopes of grabbing traffic that will click on ads. Google Adsense needs to add more tools that writers can use to drive more traffic to the ads. Ryan of the Hubpage staff said...

Although I continue to have traffic to my hubs and was earning a bit of AdSense dollars, suddenly when April came AdSense earnings stopped. Could it be the addition of HubPages ads?

I'm new (well I've had an account for 2 years but only just published my first 2 hubs yesterday) and I can't see any data in my Adsense account for HubPages. I am getting some traffic, but HubPages does not show up in the list. I did add a channel for it. Also, when I linked my HubPages account to...
