    AdSense for Content
    Visits: 391,279
    Clicks: 387
    Page CTR: 0.10%
    Page eCPM: £0.14
    Estimated earnings £56.24

    I have not used Adsense all that long, the CTR is very low yeah? What needs improvement, like for example from 387 clicks is £56.24 ok, or should I be doing something to make more, the visits also, I should be trying to do something better, like is the clicks count in relation to the vists bad.

    Money looks good
    CTR is bad.

    Try placing AdSense in your main content area.
    With all of those impressions, you should be making hundreds of dollars a day

    From the data you show it seems you are only getting about 1 click per 1,000 view to your site. If I were you I would do some AdSense optimization (for example the ads location on your site) and you should see a much greater click through rate. I personally average about 5 clicks per 100 visits, so for you that would be over 10,000 clicks for the same amount of traffic you show here.

    Hope this helps :)

    Your ctr is too low for that almost 400k visits. Try to re-arrange your ads and monitor by using trial and error.

    Money is nice. CTR could use some work. Have you tried different placement or checked to make sure that your ads that are showing are relevant to your content. I hate when I have a site or page about one thing and get an ad for something completely different.

    I don't have as much views as you do, but I have CTR = 1.78%, eCPM = $4.16. I placed a block of 3 ads after the third paragraph of every article on my website. Seems like some people assume that these are article-related links and they click them.

    Or maybe they just get bored with the articles and want to click on something new to read :)

    Yeah I also think our CTR isn't so good. Try to place your ads in main content area like header...

    Seems to be working guys, I changed not so long ago and very early signs are promising, or at least I think they are:

    Impressions: 458
    Clicks: 9
    Page CTR: 1.97%
    Page eCPM: £1.43
    Estimated earnings: £0.66

    This was just not longer after the change, I changed the colours on the one I did have, and added a new set of ads nearer the header ;)
