    Hey

    Just logged into my adsense to check out this new site im running, we have had around 13 clicks today and earned 0.58 for the day! What happend to the days of adsense when you could get $4 on a bad day.

    My niche is Gaming - Arcade etc..

    are google taking more for themselfs now? Greedy mofos.

    Up until this week, my CPC and overall earnings dropped pretty badly.

    Made me lose quite a bit of faith, to be honest.

    How much do you usually get per click for your arcade site?

    Hello,

    Maybe is your niche, sometime I got 0.01 or 0.03, very normal in different niches. Try to filter in your Adsense control panel the MFA websites, or maybe you become smartpricing :(, but try to filter the MFA websites, one time I filter them, and really I saw big changes in my earnings...

    Best,
    Jakomo

    I imagine that is where the problem lies - in my experience arcade sites tend not to have the type of traffic big budget advertisers want.

    That's perfectly normal, I get similar figures for one of my sites which is about games (though not an arcade site).

    actually advertisers on ppc have become smarter.. they only bid for long tail keywords and pays maximum 5cent per click..

    as u know getting traffic has become easy in 2007

    like mass social bookmark sites posting or voting or mass forum posting or artificially ranking well in search engines or door way pages cloaking etc..

    so advertisers now think paying high bids on google adsense is waiste of money.. is not worth like before..

    lets say u have a niche.. say its about new mobile phones cheap.. instead of advertising on google adwords u can post on ebay other auction sites.. and also search for forums related to mobile phone and post on buy sell or advertising section..

    say u posted to 5000 good forums related to ur niche..
    u will get ur targated customers without spending a dimm in google adwords..


    also say u have a blog about how to cure acne in 24/7 or how to download new games 100% free..
    u can post the link and ur messege to 2000 social bookmark sites.. and buy some diggs and stumbles or exchange it.. and soon u willl see 5000 visitors coming into ur blog like mad..

    so why in 2007 ppl will waiste money on adwords?? for 20$ a click??

    Guess its time to move away from adsense and find something better, have you guys tried chikita (i think thats what its called) I heard that is supposed to pay quite well. I have also applied for widget bucks.

    Off late my earnings have dropped and its been really a slow week despite Christmas so near. I thought it would pick this part of the year.

    I've actually experienced an increase in earnings overall, and my Amazon affiliate links are doing really well, probably with it being near to Christmas. Several of my sites are seasonal though - I don't expect the Anti Valentine one to kick in again until mid-January.

    It's not uncommon to get $0.01/click on some sites, so 42 clicks could easily equate to $0.49.

    you should find a niche that has higher pay per click ratio, so that you can make some money. You can research the highest paid pay per click keywords.

    How do I filter out the smartpricing ads? There is no channel for the ads.
