Adsense is THE best ppc program for almost any site but sometimes it feels like they keep ninety percent of the revenue share, example for the past 3 months I have been getting .01 (or less) per click, site has good commercial content and USA traffic 90% actually and today I check my stats and its going even lower 30 clicks and .25 cents . Don't get me wrong, I have many sites and most of my revenue comes from adsense and affiliates but their system is weird some times..
You might be right, how ever I am an advertiser too, I spend a lot of money doing ppc for affiliate sales and trust me, traffic is not cheap in Adwords, I can tell you that .05 cent traffic is very hard to come up to and its funny how A LOT of publishers are getting .01 cents per click. Well they are still the best program out there, I still use them so....
Idk. I was making a lot per click when I first started adsense. Now I get more clicks but make less money. I don't know how much longer I'll be using it if this continues
I gave up on adsense. Every time my websites get huge and beign to get lots of traffic adsense always bans that site for some reason. Then i get another site which also develops into a huge site and then adsense also bans that site.
Your not following the rules if Adsense bans your site, they don't ban for the fun of it. Read the Adsense rules and Google webmaster guidelines, you have to follow both. As for getting that many clicks and only .25 cents, if your site is in a flooded niche, has little content, or both, etc.....Then your going to get those cheap clicks.
