from my own experience with google adsense, i must say this is a pitiful
performance. most of my sites range from 1.5%-2% clickthroughs, which
converts to approx. $20 a day.
so why are the beo clickthroughs low?
the traffic coming to beo already knows what they want.....browsers.
a single ad on the weo would bring in some serious coin, as there are
definitely more incoming surfers from search engines that are "looking for
something" (these are the people that click ads).
before this is blasted out of the water, perhaps we should try it? the main
site may make as much as $20-$30 a day, at which point we could decide to
only show the ads on certain days -- once a month, every friday, when we
need dough, etc
just my 2 cents
