hey now, come on. 80 clicks is pretty darned good. I would try to get 80 clicks from a hire paying niche keyword.
That is an average to high rate for media/humor sites. But we really need to know the niche to make a judgement.
That's not bad I wouldn't complain about it. It's pretty average and fair. I run an arcade and it would never pull that. It would reach $2 if I'm lucky with 80 clicks.
I get at least $1 clicks, but I have few clicks a day. Sometimes I have 3 or 4 clicks even, which equals anything from $3 to $6. I've had no time to build traffic though. Since I started this thing, I did nothing to build traffic. My niche is my own area in a scientific field.
That's quite low.. but I guess it could be lower. Try filtering out low paying ads and see if that works for your site.
I know how you feel, I usually get around 60/70 clicks a day, and I rarely pass 2$. My website is about music and guitars. If the niche was well payed, the situation could be much better.
I think that if a keyword was paid around 0.10/0.15 $ it would be great for me. I seeing my stats for today, and I have 0.90$ with 49 clicks. It's about 0.02$ per click. I think this is awfull!!! And uncouraging!! But I'll keep fighting for more...
Is that over a long period of time or just in a day? I know some days I get crappy, like 5 cents a click, and some days I get great, like $1.00 a click.
