12 Clicks - $0.98 Any Reasons?

    Hey,

    I have an arcade site (link in sig) and I recieved 12 clicks today, on link ads and text ads. I still only recieved $0.98 for all these clicks, whereas I should be recieving anywhere between $6 and $12 IMHO.

    The only thing I have changed from before is using adsblacklist.com to block some 'low paying' ads that were listed there. Should I undo them or is something else wrong with my site?

    Thanks!

    Expecting $0.50 CPC or $6 per 200 visitors is not possible when it's an arcade site you're running.

    10c to 20c per click is great on arcade sites. 95% of the people running arcade sites get 3c to 5c per click. So consider yourself lucky ;)

    Arcade sights don't usually make $6 per 200. Wow.

    15c-20c per click for entertainment sites is a good rate. usually clicks are under 10c for this niche.

    As everyone else has mentioned, it's normal. Just try to achieve more traffic, and earn extra money that way, rather than abandon the site in search of a higher paying niche. It's all about traffic.

    OK.

    Thanks for the advice guys.

    So what do you think I could make if I get 5000 UV per day?

    Anyone know a good CTR rate for an arcade?

    It basically depends on which of your ads are being clicked. I got around 50 cents per click a couple of days back, now i'm down to 1 click for 21 cents. Come times its 1 cent, others are 1.25 per click. It depends on your traffic, their interests, and the ads that are being clicked, as far as i'm concerned.
