Most people usually spend around 3 seconds on a website before leaving. Unless the site is sticky or has the information or product they are looking for.

Not many people go to the bottom of a page to click on ads.

I've worked with a lot of sites and tested this out on a lot of sites. Some of which are high traffic sites.

I was also a publisher for a guy that showed the clicks as they happened and from what site they came from which made testing a lot better.

I've never seen ads at the bottom of the page perform very well.

But your saying your making over $1,000.00 a month with the ads at the bottom of the page?

How much traffic are you getting?

I don't see the money I spend to get a customer to the site be worth .05 cents.

I'd rather place ads to my own sites down there are try and get them to sign up for an email or forum.

I'd be looking more into why I didn't get the sale.

I'd work a little harder at making my site make the sell.
