    How many unique visitors you get everyday? How about your CTR?

    CTR = click through rate = (number of clicks) / (number of unique visitors) X 100

    For example, if you get 100 unique visitors and 10 clicks, that means your CTR is 10%.

    we had extensive threads on this topic already
    they all still are valid in full

    besides that you really need to give full facts = URL + traffic data etc !

    100 uv per day
    is no traffic at all
    there can be many non-human traffic among such micro numbers
    i got 20'000 to 30000 uv/day resulting in double that number $ per year

    if you want to earn you have to become serious and work much harder than your 100 uv a day !!!

    the more visitors you bring to your site the more successfull you will be 100 visitors a day is not much
    is that 100 uniques ?
    i run over ten sites and do pretty well getting a payment every month some sites are better than others to run adsense what is your site about.
    work on building strong backlinks that are relevent to your site
    a one year old site and you are only getting 100 visitors per day is really bad i guess its not optimised,build yourself a links page on your site (dont call it that though :) ) and swap links here at dp its a start.

    lots of things you can do but bottom line is you need to improve your traffic and maybe look at your ads,have you made them to blend into the website have you positioned them in the best place etc.

    You haven't done enough research. You are just like all the other quitters. You have the dreams of making it big online, but you do not take action to work hard and continue to learn.

    for one, you don't even know how to read your CTR, this is one of the first things you should have learnt, so go search and read
