why private ads? keep doing adsense, and read some optimize template articles you can earn more, grow up to premium. Infolinks so cheap.
I would suggest switching over a CPM network. You will probably make more. If not then try changing were you are putting the ads. Mix them up every now and again.
You are heavily using 468x60 banners and they are nearly all showing as images, a combination which statistically is one of the worst to use for adsense, switch to the big block throughout the site but text ads only. Try it for a day and you will be coming back here to report a $100 plus day. Ezinearticles.com makes thousands of dollars a day from a site with content just like yours so its the ad placement not your content that is the issue
You need to optimize, for that amount of traffic....Damn. I am earning $18-$20 per 1000 page views. Do the math, I write about tech, virus removal, reviews. I might suggest ditching the image ads. and go text only use a light blue color from your theme, darker bluek links, dark grey text and you should see a dramatic increase. I went from %.4 to %.5 to %2.4 to As high as %4 CTR by changing my ads around. Remove that footer adsense, it's useless. Put something in sidebar and 2 in content
yup, it all depends on which country the clicks come from. try checking out in your adsense control panel. lol, those from Pakistan, India, Indonesia and Philippines often are below 0.10 ! - for most niche !!
You can try different ads placement, also various ads units. Combine text and image ads to get optimal revenue. If all of them did not work, you can try another ads provider especially CPM based, good luck...
Probably non-targeted traffic is the issue. From a user's experience I never click on ads I am not interested in. Try to use text and image ads interchangeably. Maybe the image ads will appeal to more people.
