    Wtf can I do. There is no point in putting ads on my site for this pathetic revenue. I get on average over 700 clicks per day, and the average is 2-3 cents per click. WTF is going on. I've tried adblacklist, and blocking huge list they give you. Nothing works:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    The niche is free music videos.

    Are you sure they are valid clicks?

    Hope you manage to find a solution soon

    Do you mind telling what type of site it is. Often, the type of site will determine what type of payout you get rom your clicks.

    Sadly it might be the "market" you're targeting. Mine is TV/DVDs...the payoff per click is pathetic for this market.

    I went through a couple of the ads and right clicked to get the URL. These types of ads are the ones ruining my earnings:
    techsaving.net

    Totally MFA. This is just sad that I have such a huge site and can't monetize it.

    get rid of the adblacklist, they don't know what ads are showing up on your site... start over with a clean filter list, and put in the ads that you see... sometimes the adsense preview tool helps a little with that.

    right now it looks like you are getting video ads from google? some people were saying that they don't pay well.

    you could also try ypn, but adding some cpm ads may be another alternative.

    Maybe it's because I browse my site all the time - and have seen all the ads, but I get all text link. Maybe I should block image ads? I only used ad black list for a day, and it was useless.

    Same goes to me, video and music related sites (as far as I'm concerned) are never exceed $0.10, barely reach $0.05..So, I didn't put much effort on it. Rather, I put more focus on other things.

    I can tell you any niche that is entertainment oriented is likely a waste of time... i.e. funny videos, pictures, etc. I've got a couple sites like that and they never make very much money. I think basically any site that attracts ads such as "free ringtones... download funny video..." etc.

    You would probably do better with blogads.com

    Wow I just feel so ripped off. A site so large to deliver 900 clicks today, is earning such pathetic amounts of money. Maybe I should try CPM ads :\

    ecpm on these types of sites has gone down by about 70% in the last month. I should know as I have at least 5 sites like this and before ecpm was decent, now it's horrible.

    that would be 14$ daily. Pretty moderate. not too bad and not too good. I think you can boost your earning by placing more bigger ads i.e. the large rectangle will help.

    I make around $40 daily average. $30-40. Most of it is FF refs, and towards the end of the day, I start to get a .04 cent average. Still I feel I should be making $70-100..

    Yea you can actually tell people to download those, and it's not against Google's TOS. It's honestly the best thing that happened to me adsense wise. $54 this week because of it :D
