    Not if your keywords aren't worth a a couple of dollars per click.

    clicks can go down as low as a few cents. Also, posting the information you did is against the Terms of Service of Adsense.

    Ok so how do I tell what keywords are worth what?

    Thanks for the warning, if googles wants to somehow investigate who I am and what site I represent and take away my 21 cents they can do so. :p :D

    they must be making 90 cent to the dollar on this stuff.

    That's ridiculous. I have a site that gets over 100 clicks a day and sometimes makes less than $5 a day.

    You have nothign to complain about..

    lol haha omg...
    you've got to be kidding me... 6 clicks = $5,-
    what on earth are you thinking?!
    you think you can just set up a site and get a dollar for click and have some random clicks and get rich?
    be lucky to get 5 cents a click LOL

    Nope. I have 5 - 6 sites, earnings per click range from 6 cents to 20 cents per click, differs based on the topic / keywords. Your per click rate is lower (~3.5 cents), could be because of the topic.

    Four ways to go - three are mutually compatible

    - redo your site to target better paying keywords
    - optimize for higher click through rate (clicks per 1000 visitors)
    - Increase traffic (If 1K visitors gets you 21 cents, 100k visitors should get you...)

    or

    - forget adsense. try something else.

    I am glad you feel better, however, you shouldn't dismiss the whole program because you cannot pay your rent just yet. Trust me when I tell you that many folks are making enough to pay your rent multiple times over but it takes time, traffic, and good content.

    I don't know about that, but when I told them I only wanted to spend 10.00 dollars at my ad budget they did not seem very happy. I was put off by their non positive attitude and did not purchase anything. I am rethinking for now. Thanks for the tips, by the way.

    I have multiple websites, from proxies to lyrics to wallpapers to software portal and a tech forum. I get 17,000 clicks a month and the average out at close to $0.10.

    I hope that gives you a feel of what to expect.

    It really depends on your CTR and your niches. And no, you're no bad poster.

    what does my post offering sports sites better money than google adsense in the correct section violate any terms and deserve the trashcan? Why would us posters not want competition against google so we actually get paid better than 5 cents a fricking click.

    lets keep the dictator feeble minded comments to a minimum Adolf. :D

    THank You sir!

    Read the forum RULES!

    Read the Adsense T.O.S.

    And please use the 'edit' button instead of posting twice in-a-row.

    Thanks!!!!
