Is this good revenue for this amount of traffic?

    Just wondering if the revenues / CTR we are getting now is good? For may we are getting about 1.17% CTR / $1.06 eCPM (32,000 impressions / 380 clicks / $2-$3 a day) as of today. Our traffic are all targetted visitors who are willingly coming to us and many also from Google Images search. Without having to reveal the site, would it be better to switch completely to affiliate type ads then keep at it with google adsense b/c the traffic is targetted. The website is full of contents and keeps the visitors on it for a while. We get right now approximately 800 unique avg per day. The traffic is still growing.

    Hell no. $2-3 per day with those clicks and impressions? No man. Somethings wrong here. They should pay you a lot lot more. You could try affiliate ads since you have targeted visitors.

    That's too low indeed. Where is the traffic coming from and what's the niche?

    If that is a normal then it is time to dump AdSense. Your traffic is being stolen for a penny a click. Horrible

    Something doesn't jive with your figures. You are saying 1.17% ctr and $1.06 eCPM. That sounds good to me. I'm assuming your subsequent figures don't mean that you have only earned $2-$3 for 32k impressions and 380 clicks, thats your total impressions/clicks for the month to date which breaks down to $2-$3 a day.

    yeah that doesn't add up.

    $1.06 eCPM should mean that for every 1,000 page impressions you should get $1.06

    You have 32,000 impressions therefore you should have over $32.00 (unless i'm wrong)

    /shrug maybe i'm confused.

    Something's not right. Probably you're running a forum or targeting a low-paying niche or regions?

    Sorry for the confusion. I am getting $2-$3 a day.

    Total for May has been 32,000 impressions and approximately $34 total so far. Of the 32000 impressions, it created 380 clicks.

    Its wedding related niche. We post daily articles almost every weekday for the last few months. Website is about 6 months old.

    That is seriously low CPC . You should reconsider your content ( Keywords ) or may be your niche is a low paying one !

    You can place CPM ads to earn from impressions .

    Yeah, that doesn't make any (ad)sense... If you are posting articles, how does the traffic come in from Google Images?

    I suggest you try to increase your CTR. Optimize your ads placements.

    Your traffic is coming from search engines?
