How Come I had 87 clicks and earn only 1.5 $ ?

    I can't tell what I'm doing wrong, in the last days, each day I had around 8500 views of my web pages, and around 85 click each day. I think it's not bad for a small site. Still, my earning are very small - around 1 - 2 $ each day.
    Is this because the ads in my site are pay per view (rather per click) , or because it shows ads with low revenue? How can I prevent\ reduce them, or what else could be the problem?
    In the past I used to earn more - around 3$ for each 10 clicks or so...

    please help...

    First of all.. adsense pay less for some content ( wallpapers, online games ). Second, pay per click ar better payed then pay per view. Third, try to place your ads near the content.

    it must be legit clicks ...

    if your running PPV sites and forcing clicks then this could be the reason why

    Like said before, depends a lot on the niche, with that amount of clicks you probably got some invalid ones. Dont worry, but analyse your niche to check if it´s a profitable one.

    If you are using adsense this problem may have 2 faces:-

    the first face is your site is local site and people who visit it not from America, Europe and else just like me so you get low cost for clicks....

    the second face is you aretalking about low paying niche just like me again.......


    At the end these things make publishers hate google adsense.......

    :eek:

    Well, base on your answers, I have several questions:

    If it is a niche problem, how come i earned so much more in the past?
    Is there a way I can enforce pay per click add (and reduce pay per view)?
    What can be done against BOMB-clicking?
    Is there a good alternative to adsense? That's the only one i see out there...
