FOr long i was averaging 10 cents a click, and was okay with it...now im avg 5 cents click on good keywords.. this sucks....even if i got 1000 clicks...its not worth it theres 0 motivation with these kind of rates to bring traffic
You need to review the advertisers whose ad is appearing on your site, if they are MFA or adsense publishers put them in Competitive Filter list and see if that helps you. Adwords is great system to buy cheap traffic and people are really using it to get traffic.
So quit yer bellyachin' and go get a job selling socks or something. I'll gladly take over your sites and those .05-cent clicks.
Hey Ash, some of us made money before adsense came to town, getting traffic to your site is only half the battle. Nowadays webmasters can sit on their arse and just fill advertising space with adsense which is a great tool, but there are companies that want expsure, if your site is good enough and we are not talking MFA then go sell that space direct and make more by not using a middle man/google.
