Over 500 clicks and no actions? And AdSense Link Units
by Sapphire (July 23, 2007)
I’ve got Azoogle ads running on several sites. So far this month, I’ve had over 500 clicks, but not one action. Does that sound normal? Seriously, I’m asking. If not, what am I doing wrong?
- Wrong ads for sites? Maybe I’m not picking the right ads because I don’t really understand what my visitors are interested in.
- Wrong sites for ads? Maybe the type of sites I’m putting these ads on (blogs, in varying niches) aren’t right for click per action.
In other news, after reading about Sarah’s great luck with AdSense Link Units (and here), I decided to throw them on a couple of article reprint sites I don’t mind AdSense diverting visitors from. Despite both sites combined getting maybe 800 visitors in a really good month (and this is not a good month), I’ve already made 26 cents in three days.

You know, for me the CPA ads are really hit or miss. Once in a blue moon, I’ll get a sale - and it’s just crazy the amount of time between sales they are. I really wanted to diversify my sites income - but so far, the most consistant has been my PPC ads… making change, but still out performing the CPA ads.
When CPA hits though, it’s a good little payout in comparison. But it’s a real dilemma for me… which would be better?

Hmm. So maybe 500+ clicks without an action isn’t that unusual?
I’ve got some PPC rotating with my CPA ads, trying to cover all bases. It’s tough to guess what to do.
