    Hi guys

    I've been using adsense for probably a year now on my pr5 guitar site - www.GuitarTools.co.uk

    I've only made it 2 $100 twice...

    Yesterday, I reluctantly gave in to adding adsense to my pr3 site - www.FrenchHolidayDirectory.co.uk

    It's first click was 79 cents and it's second was $1.94!! The highest the guitar site has ever given me is (well apart from the odd $1 firefox link) is about 69 cents... The French holiday niche is obviously way better, more competion/ money in it.

    I just wish I'd add it to this site before! I may add it to my other ones now! What are the best niche markets for crazy high click cost? Can you suggest any?

    Crazy high click costs? I'd say lawyers, real estate, mesothelioma, loans, and mortgages.

    Hmm, I have no idea about mortgages (or morgages for people who can't spell!) or loans... I might try and get some content somehow.

    Cheers guys

    Dating is also a great niche, my friend had a great site and earned $36 in adsense (first ever time using it) in a couple of weeks.

    Smartpricing is what happens if your clicks do not convert well for the advertisers and google reduces your ePC.. they usually re-adjust your ePC every 7-10 days..

    YUP! Smartpricing sucks!
    I got above $1/click on one of my sites when I first put adsense code on it.
    Now, well... $.01/click :mad:

    WHAT?! That's crazy!
    So how do we maintain high priced clicks? Or do they all just fade away eventually? Doh....

    if your clicks convert the ePC won't fade away.. Hold your breath, cross your fingers, rub your rabbit's foot and pray..
    throwing some shells at the moon might help too..

    SEO, Lawyers/mesothelioma blogs/sites, SEM, gambling, real estate, financials, etc -- These all actually give you very high levels of click earnings. I actually received $1.67 from SEM stuff on my wiki, it was highly odd -- I haven't even optimized ANYTHING and I got a kick out of that one...Oy. Anyways, does anyone have any good ideas on how to build up traffic to Firefox installs?? I just thought of making a Firefox Marketing article as well as an article on Monetizing from Firefox -- PM me with any ideas..
