Great click though rate, but poor money...?!

    Hi there,

    I own a watch about weird watches - it earns about 200 dollars per month in adsense earnings.

    I get a decent clickthrough rate (I think!) fairly high percentages in fact, but the amount of actual cash I get from the clicks is poor. Can anyone explain why?

    I'm a newbie, so sorry if this has been asked / is obvious...

    Thanks,
    Rus

    If you're earning $200 per month, you're probably not getting that bad of a price per click. If you're getting ten or twenty cents per click, you have nothing to worry about.

    Regardless of what you're getting, the amount you get per click is determined by what advertisers are bidding on specific keywords.

    I get a CTR of about 6% on average. And anywhere from 0.20 cents to 1.20 dollars per click.

    The site averages about 800-900 impressions daily.

    I have no idea if this is good or not. I want to make more cash from Adsense, but I fear (no matter how many of those "Joel Comm / Rich Jerk" style "books" I buy!!) that my problem is that people only pay small amount for adwords relating to weird watches...

    Am I right?

    These kind of things shouldn't be discussed with such precision (by AdSense's rules) but I say that your paiment per click is good, simply work on increasing your web traffic in legitimate ways. And also create another website about sexy watches or whatever, you see my point: have a competitor that is you, that is called healthy competition :)

    IMO, your CTR is good ... try using more valuable keywords :)
