Tell me why I should continue with MNS

There are a number of variables, which could impacting that horrible CTR. What type of traffic is it? Search engine? Paid traffic? Bots? Countries other than the USA? I once had a site that posted high page views from real traffic that had a CTR below 1%.:wt:


When I checked to see where the traffic was actually coming from, it turned out to be from zippin RUSSIA. These kids/dudes were visiting the site checking out the pics of the hot Brazilian, Colombian and American Victoria Secrets girls BUT they were not buying any of the expensive watches, cologne, jewelry or dating tips I was selling. I doubt that I could have offered vodka on that site, LOL.

The point being? check and confirm your traffic sources

After that, [if the traffic is solid but not converting] you may need to find another form of monetization as opposed to Google Adsense.

Just noticed this is a health niche (missed that in the original post). What a coincidence that my site that I mentioned above is also in the health niche.

And I have another site in the health niche, TONS of traffic (and I targeted it because it has like a $14 CPC), and I haven't received a single click yet. Damn it haha

MNS should be built on the high CTR of adsense keywords first and foremost, not highest paying, not EMD. The priority sequence should be 1) high CTR, 2) high Adsense ad competition, 3) good EM search volume, 4) high CPC, and 5) low SEO competition. The current rage for EMD is unbalanced and largely neglectful of CTR and adsense ad competition. One example of how the keywords stack up based on this approach:

I have found this same thing with many MNS that I have built.
The traffic is there, but earning pennies in Adsense.

I personally wouldn't put any more money into it, just experiment with more monetization methods/ad placements.

Have you tried two ad blocks next to each other after the first paragraph?
I have gotten CTR of up to 15% using that with 250X250 ad blocks.

I also think depending on the keywords and niche you could have a niche that doensnt clic too much (example videogame niche).

I am out of the MNS sites to make some authority ones.
