SEM Tycoon

**Capitalist** · 08-13-2006, 04:47 PM

My site has been up for three days and I haven't gotten a single click yet. I thought I'd set my goals low and aim for 30 cents a day but I can't even reach that. I've only had about 350 uniques which isn't alot but it's still enough to see that there is something wrong with my site. I've received 4 links during that time also.

You need more time. If you work hard on a consistent basis, you will see an increase.

You are in it for the long haul. If you can make money that fast everyone would do it. Keep at it.

I got 7 cents from adsense and 20 cents from amazon. Now if I could just figure out which ads got clicked.

You're taking the right approach. Invest the time NOW for LATER. Nobody starts network marketing and signs up 100 people on the first day. Do what you're doing... find out what works and what doesn't and utilize the things that help you succeed. Keep reading and keep surrounding yourself with people you can learn from because you can always pick something new that might work for you. I'm probably not telling you anything you don't already know, but just wanted to be encouraging.

Some days I make $0 and some days I make up to $4 (my best).
I use a different google_ad_channel for each of my different pages so I know where my adsense revenue is coming from.

Just keep working at it.

I remember when I earned my first 15 cents – it took three weeks!

Now I make about $30 a day... its been about a year.

I made another 7 cents yesterday but nothing today.

Did you put Amazon (Omakase) and AdSense in the same page?

By the way, do Amazon pay for clicks/impressions? I thought they pay only for sales only.

Please explain.

No I used a wordpress amazon plugin to paste code from specific books\dvds into the blog post. Amazon gives 5% of sales profits.

Please tell the URL of your Blog and the URL of the plugin.

Was that 20 cents from sales or just clicks? For clicks it seems OK (atleast for me), but 5% of the sales money seems too low.

Just keep working at it, set your goal for #100 in your first two months on adsense.

I don't want to share my blog because it's unique but here's the plugin. hxxp://manalang.com/wp-amazon

Ohh.. I wanted to see how it works. Like a demo.

Anyway I saw another one here:
headzoo.com/alinks

I'll check both of them and see which one suits me.

Can we have both this Amazon link and AdSense in the same page?

Alot of talk about how much you have made. How much have you spent to advertise your site?

I don't see what the big deal is about a couple of cents. Someone please fill me in.
