$0.05 clicks??

Hi all
I have an arcade game website.
www.game-place.net
I makes about $0.05 per click
Is there anything I can do to improve this?
Thanks already!

Unfortunately, probably not. Gaming sites typically draw low EPC.

 

no, these kind of sites pay little. It's all about the traffic for you...

 

Thats pretty bad... I hardly ever have a click that is even as low as $.20
I average $.70/clicks.

You really need more content around the site than just the images of the games and the small amount of text you have. Also building your PR can help get better EPC.

 

I am sure your site is not a gaming site though, is it? Anyhow, $.70/click average is very good though, irrespective of the type of site.

 

My gaming site usually has these 3-5 cent clicks also. Those are pretty much uncontrollable. i do however also have some that pay 20+ cents. The more traffic you get, the more variety of priced clicks you'll get

 

there are bunch of niches where you get $0.03 avg

 

That's a very impressive cost per click. Wish mine was that...
Good work

 

Unfortunately the best advice i can give you, is to improve traffic and maybe ad placement.

 

yeah, when the subject doesnt pay much per click, you should try to get more ppl to click ´em. I guess that´s the only way...

 

Damn, my average over several different niche's is .07. The majority of my clicks generate from my Wii site and they are roughly .07 per click..gaming related. However, I have some sites that are less than .01. Those clicks come off of a PR5 site as well.

 

you should be happy , some of my sites get 0,01 / click !

 

I'm curious - how does a better PR help you get better EPC?

 

pr has nothing to do with EPC ...the site that get 0.01 cents/ click is pr5 ...

 

That's what I thought, but I want to know what he thinks.

 

Yes and there is higher value given to sites with better quality and PR has something to do with quality of site. This was done by google to cut down on the arbitage.

 

Right. 5 to 10 cents per click is pretty good enough. That is what I usually get. I'll be happy with 10 cents per click.

 

For gaming related site, 0.05 per click is the average.
What you could do is to follow the trends.
New, topical games could make you much more if you´re one of the first.

 

me too... is it cheap for music too? especially traditional music? my site also got the same problem.. www dot musicgamelan dot com

 

Got many different type of sites. Got a game site that does .05 a click on average... it has loads of trafic or it would not be worth much... also got other ones doing over .50$ all the time... cause it has higher value goods to sell than entertainment or games you can get from a pirate site.

The game site has been doing adsence for over 3 years and there is basically nothing to make the clicks be worth more... unless I missed anything. All you can really do is get the small clicks in bigger amount by getting more traffic... but getting more traffic has always been the purpose of a site anyway.
