Today I got $0.13 for one click I am wondering why my earnings are so low. The site I got the clicks for is New Age Arcade(link in sig)
Not only is it just one click but you have a low cost keyword (It would cost someone around 75 cents and under CPC wise).
How much you get depends on how much the CPC cost was to the advertiser. The advertiser could set the bid price for a keyword to $0.2...or could set to $3. When someone click onto the ad, you will receive different earnings.
What more traffic means more per click? What are better keywords for an arcade site? I got a click a min ago and earned $0.02 I didn't even know what was possible. Because my very good friend the other ones aren't targeted at the low earning of my arcade site.
i'm pretty sure the reasons behind low earning are pretty much around the same issues doesn't matter the niche
Most of low earning issue from Adsense is the lack of keyword analysis and planning from the beginning. If you do not have enough time to analyze keyword, just a niche analysis is still help. Your targeting niche, Arcade, is a well known of low paying niche due to lack of quality advertisers in the niche. I would suggest you finding more appropriate niche first.
Niche sites that usually has higher average CPC are Real Estate, Business related and Health related. I looks like Sxperm really know the business (Looking at the links in your signature...)
I would disagree, your earnings are all about the niche, higher CPC niches obviously pay the publisher a higher amount. Low earnings on his behalf, assuming he is getting traffic because he is getting a click, is because the niche sucks, if I was to get a click on one of my lower traffic websites I'd still make around a buck per click. Its ALL about the niche imo. As for the OP since your niche does have low CPC, something I would do if I was you was take a look at CPALead and they currently have some advertisers that pay 1.50 for each game downloaded, that might be an alternative to your low Adsense niche. Even if you get just 1 download, to match it in Adsense you'd need 10 to 11 clicks, at least depending on which ad shows during that time in Adsense. As others suggested a better niche would make you more, I don't think you should target those exact ones because as you see everyone tries to, you have to think out the box on your niches, I've did some keyword analysis for three new sites last night and while none of them are in the listed niches above, they all pay as well or better and will be easier/faster to get first page in the SERPs.
more traffics you need ,and before you build a blog, you should use any keyword tool to check the price of it,just like google keyword tool.
As of this moment, your site appears to be down. But just so you know, that type of site generally does poorly with Adsense, primarily because of the traffic; it's mostly teens. You would do better with a program such as Loudmo.com
