    Checked my adsense account today and in one of my sites I had 1 single click and my earnings was 1 cent ... Quite disappointing since i get only 1 click in 1000+ impressions :(

    Traffic from different countries pays less. Therefore, your traffic quality may have something to do with the amount earned per click.

    To improve your CTR, try to improve Adsense placement on your site. Ads that are right in the visitors field of view tend to get more clicks. Some Adsense ads will do better if blended, while others don't. Experiment, and if needed, ask for someone to review your placement. Second, third, and many opinions can only help. :)

    Good luck

    Wait for some times you get good result.
    Try for good traffic you must get some good amount from adsense.
    do not worry.
    nice start.

    Thank You everyone for taking your time to read and for generously offering me help. I should have given this website to the DP members here before I launched the site :(. Since now there are already a number of members in my site who share personal information in it, I am unable to give access.
    I am building a new site and this time I'll remember to give it here for review by DP members. Hope I can make better profits from my ads then :)
    Once again thank you for all offers for help

    Adsense bases their payment amount off of in no particular order:
    1.) Topic of the content - idk without seeing site?
    2.) CTR (Click-Through-Rate), of which you have a very small number - bad
    3.) Original content - idk without seeing site?

    Hope it helps
    Scott

    This is a great example of why you are much better off running affiliate offers on your site rather than adsense.

    What do you think the guy that paid 1 cent for traffic is doing? Yep, more than likely sending it to an affiliate offer. Why not cut out the middle man?

    PS. I just realised this was a stupid thing to say. I buy thousands of dirt cheap clicks on the adwords content network so I don't want you all to stop running adwords:)

    Today I got 5 clicks :) . But only 14 cents. Atleast it's a bit better. I changed the ads background to match my website's background and also changed the link colors in my ads to the same color I use for my links in the site.
    Also I used one Link ad which seems to get more clicks than the other types.
