$0.03 per click for education site

Earning $0.03 per click for an education related site is depressing me! At this rate I'm thinking I'd be far better off in ditching adsense for something else. Anyone recommend a PPC that would bring in more than 3 cents a click?

 

I think an Education site should bring in way more. Use wordslike loan, student loan, college, etc... they are top earners.

 

have you used competitive ad filter to get rid of MFA sites that may be appearing on your site via the adsense preview tool?

 

Well you can use some high payout keywords like student loan,college and others which give you more money.

 

Its not adsense, it's your niche. Pick a new one.

 

You can checkout adsense alternatives at http://www.adsensealternatives.org/
I am sure that kontera can do that.

 

I see your ads are about universities , they pay very well according to me .

 

can you use adbrite in conjunction with adsense?

 

Can so

 

try to change your keyword to student loan or else

 

Maybe you've been smartpriced. What your normal cpc on the site?

 

I can give you a great tip, which helped me a lot.
If you want to minimize those crap paying ads, then simply reduce the amount of adblocks displaying. I know it might reduce the amount of clicks you will get, but I can almost guarantee you will see more earnings.
It worked for me, and worked for others as well!
