    9351 impressions. 836 clicks but only 33.5 in the earnings field for 5 consecutive days now. I can`t get it why! :confused: What do you think? How can I fix that?

    Thanks.

    What is your site?
    It's pretty hard to figure out why this is happening without seeing what your site is like.

    I can`t tell you the site 'couse I told you my stats. All I can say is that it is a video site with videos from all over the web.

    I suppose it is smart pricing.. How long this can take effect? Do you have any idea?

    I think its all right because you are working in low CPC niche ;) which gets high CTR.

    I also used to have very low clic, my days were about 150clics for 2 - 3$
    But I started to filter MFA (adsblacklist) and it really helped me.
    I now earn almost 3 times than before

    If you haven't filtered yet, try it ;)

    If you're really desperate, find a video to do with insurance, make the title "insurance" and place a link to that video on all your site's pages. Adsense ads can pick up on just one word.
    For example, about a week ago I saw directory for Entertainment (or something like that) and all the adsense ads were for RSS tools because there was one small link on each page linking to an RSS feed of the results.

    Try and filter out sites that are "topsites", or "bestsites", you know which ones I mean. These are just a waste of time.

    Diversify, don't rely just on Adsense. Try some affiliate programs too :)

    Adsense is all fun & games until you get Smart Priced. Best move I ever made was trying to generate more cash for alternative streams, I still do well with Adsense but at the same time if I go through a rough period I still have other things as backup.

    Doesn't take a genius to find your site. ;)

    Anyway, I see ebay ads on there. I bet those have really low CPC. On top of that, pretty much the only other ad im seeing is for mysteryfabric.com. This means that either your keyword density is too low, or there is just no competition in this niche.

    I would suggest saying the word "video" as much as you can on the site, and you'll probably get some higher paying ads. It may even take just adding a paragraph about the site.

    I did this on my proxy, and I got tons more relevant ads, thus leading to an increase in CTR (though you don't need that, and in my case, it lowered the PPC.) For you, you really just need a more diverse selection of ads.
