    In order to double the money you are making, then you have to triple your traffic. What your oppinion?

    I disagree.

    Traffic is only one part of the financial picture. Sure, more traffic generally means more people to click on ads, but does that mean (as your post states) that more traffic is the only way to double the money you're making?

    What if you just have a low CTR because of bad ad layout or placement? Fixing Ad placement would help this a lot and probably easily enable you to double your cash.

    What if your ads are not context-targetted very well either because your content needs help or because of poor placement? Fixing your content, keywords, or placement in relation to keywords and content could drive an increase.

    What if your ads are only from MFA Adwords publishers? These are likely to be very low-paying ads, so blocking/blacklisting these advertisers could result in higher-paying ads being shown.

    There seems like other intuitive ways as well to double your cash (or at least bring in more) simply by doing the footwork and revising your site design, ad look&feel and placement, and content than just simply resorting first to dumping it in front of more people.

    Just my 2 cents :)

    Telmari is correct but I understand your point, it seems that with every two steps forward that Google pushes you back again (smart pricing?). I have seen similar trends in my account. Somehow when pageviews go up, the CPC goes down a bit etc., this has nothing to do with differences in placement or number of pages etc. Maybe it's because the more ads you show, the more chances you have to get cheap ones.

    The pattern is that you'd have to watch about about waiting for something simple to happen. Having cash off a website depends on so many factors. It's important to remember that you must keep up the work, and not let go.

    You need traffic plain and simple and the best way to get traffic is from the searhc engines. Making money in adsense comes down to SEO.

    I say visitor targeting is the most important factor in AdSense earnings :)

    Um that would first require visitors which is why traffic is more important than Ad optimization and targeting. The ebook 'gurus' can ramble endlessly about 'targeting ads' and which rectangles to use, but when it comes to discussing traffic they clam up (not surprising, cause thats REALLY how they make their money with Adsense)

    getting the correct target traffic is the most important thing, not only for adsense but for anything online or offline

    based on my experience, first we need hightraffic, then configure the adsense placement for better earning and earn much. receiving high traffic already needs hardwork through posting quality content, creating backlinks, and more

    one can optimize ad layout for better earning only to a limit if the traffic is constant. So if you want to increase earning regularly then increase in traffic is the only solution.
    Say if u have The Best optimised site and u r earning 1k per month. then what? if u want to earn twice then u need more traffic.
