Arcade site earnings

    I have an arcade site and I receive about 20,000 uniques a month and 100,000 pageviews. I make around $100 a month.

    Is this normal for an arcade?? Or am I earning too low with my visitors?

    Is that just from Google Adsense? Are you monetizing your site through other methods, such as CPM networks?

    I would say that your earnings are relatively low based on the number of Google impressions you're receiving. With limited information, however, it is difficult to comment on what element of your website is inciting the inferior earnings.

    The problem with some niches (including the arcade niche) is that ads are typically not leading to a sale.

    Advertisers are usually looking to sell a product when they advertise, so if you want to get a fair amount of cost per click you need to get ads that lead to a sale. Try fiddling with your keywords in the page with that in mind.

    Well, there is a nice way to increase this with this kind of niche website.

    Use CPM's that aren't Google Adsense try CPX and other such that will pay a set price per 1k impressions instead of CPC campagin, add CPA(cost per action campagins)s and that should add tons of value and earnings to your website.

    Games niches are usually low paying, got to drive TONS AND TONS of traffic to make sense in such niche

    Try optimizing your ads placements. Try to increase your CTR.

    Use different ad units like 250*250 or 336*280.

    This will help you earn more.

    Can I see how other people are doing in this field. How much do other arcade webmasters make? I make around 4 to 5 cents a click.
