    More content yes..but you also have a whopping 33 backlinks to your site, none of which have any PR and half are from Digital Point threads. That's not going to cut it if you want to get decent search engine results, especially google. Find your keywords you want to target. Get those keywords on the site / title / description / content/ H1, H2 tags. Start submitting to directories using those keywords as the anchor text. BINGO...you'll see better search engine results, more traffic, and higher CTR. Find sites related to yours and find ways to get links on those sites. Comment on blogs, ask for links, get creative.

    Some days I can average $0.05 per click which makes it a little tougher to get over the $3 per day make. My CTR is just a nudge above 1% which isn't great either. I think most of my visitors are adsense saavy and avoid them to be honest.

    I have found that people are clicking less as the months go by, the same sites that got 1.25% ctr a year ago are getting .5% now

    if things keep going at this rate it will be hard to make 10 cents a day on most sites pretty soon

    It mainly has to do with the niche of the site hosting the AdSense. Anime sites for example do not make that much per click even with a high clickthrough rate, it's mainly due to the anime site viewers' age, most people that visit anime sites are within the age of 12-17, and the reason for their visit to the anime site is to get free anime episodes/manga chapters. This is just an example though, I'm sure there are many other shitty niches out there.

    Now I dont check my adsense sites much anymore so I may be wrong.. but you might possibly be able to make more money with cost per view ads.. cpm I think their called. Otherwise switching to another PPC program wont change the fact whether your ads are clicked on the forum or not.

    Best to get some one else's opinion tho cause I havnt worked with adsense or anything in a while..

    I'm also interested to get instructions on how to improve my earnings;
    Website is www.Flippers.be
    Exists already for a few years, has PR4 now.
    In the beginning of this year I got around $3 a day, now in the summer this dropped to less than $1 a day :(

    Need some more content? Most pages are empty! WTF... I'd say $5 is generous.

    There's no use sharing click info without knowing what the site is about. Clicks can vary from a few cents to nearly $100 depending on what the site's about...

    Why would you get offended?

    If you are working 40 hours in programming and not in promotion, there is no reason to get offended because you are doing different..

    If you are working 40 hours in promoting your site with adsense and not getting anything then you have the right to complain...

    I think you misunderstood my statement...

    I just started AdSense with my website: www.sam-designs.com

    I've made $0.00 so far, but i'm not disappointed. I only added it now to see how much, if any, I would make with minimal advertising. I'm currently building up my tutorial database.

    Once i'm done, and have done some advertising, do you think it has some potential?

    It was a thread for people who are making less than $1.00 a day. I think it was on topic enough.

    I think the easy way to make some good money with adsense is to get lot of traffic. Get traffic and you will can good money with any niche.

    Maybe I did :/

    The majority of my time is spent in programming...when I'm at a point where I can release the site and have it fully functional then my time will shift to promotion.

    I thought you were saying that anyone who has a website up for 6 months and isn't earning $3 a day is lazy...sorry for the misconception.:confused:

    It's all relative. $3 a day after 6 months would be pathetic if you invested as much time as Silverden does. You should be getting loads more. But if it's more of an off-hand hobby than it's way different!
