    Hello

    I kind of dont understand how people get so much money from adsense.
    I have many sites, pr3-5 and I hardly get 1 dollar a day.
    Can you please help me achieve something better?
    Is it about the keywords?
    Whats CTR and how do I get a better percentage?

    I would really be grateful to anyone that helps me and I can help him/her back when they need my help.

    Thanks

    CTR is an acronym for Click Through Rate. It is a percentage showing the ratio of impressions to clicks. A high CTR should be your goal.

    Search the forums. There are literally hundreds of topics here at DP that will help you improve your CTR. Good ad placement is fundamental, so I'd recommend taking a peak inside the Placement / Reviews / Examples forum.

    also make sure you get enough visitors to your site. CTR only means something if there are enough visitors.

    probably your website is optimized only for PR, with this you have not much to gain..

    You need more traffic, the CTR is relevant only if you have ~1000 visitors each day. But the problem should be on placement too, first of all take care of your traffic, then ask in the placement reviews forum other members to give you some suggestions, what you need to improve clicks. The keywords are important too, but with 1$/day means that you have low traffic, or very bad placement.

    Having had a quick look at the websites contained in your signature, lack of traffic is definitely your problem. Your ad placement isn't the worst I've seen. Remember, you can have the best ad placement in the world and still earn pocket change. You NEED traffic.

    Your ad placement isn't bad, I even gave you a click ;P Try affiliating with other game sites to get more traffic.
