    I am sick of getting 100 click for 8$ or less , I have anime sites and games related sites , anyone has a blacklist of sites paying low for ads ? I have used adsblacklist and still i am not getting rid of such 1cent or 0cent clicks. Please if someone has made a list of such low paying sites for these niches please help.

    Thanks

    there are too many bad sites around to bother using a blacklist, most of the ones I get don't even appear on them. I just do it manually, it's a daily job..

    Start a new site under a different topic b/c anime sites have low rates. I own a DBZ website and sometimes I get 30 clicks and it is still under a dollar.

    Anime and game keywords are low paying niches, that goes for all the advertisers.

    It would be good idea to put together a black list so we were all making more money from adsence, I mean $0.04 per click really wont cut it will it? I think $0.20 per click should be bottom of the scale

    As has been stated already in this thread, and in other threads, gaming and anime ads are generally very low paying. Maybe look into finding a related topic that may be higher paying.

    You may also look into adsense alternatives. I know a friend of mine had some success with some affiliate program that sold video games normally you would have to buy in the store, but you could download them instead. You'll have to do some homework on that one yourself though. =)

    yeah... I'm having the same problem.
    You should try monetize your sites not from adsense alone

    thanks for the suggestions, let us try to make a list of some sites that may reflect our income.
    What do you think ?

    you are whining about an 8-cent average epc for a niche that is known to pay low?

    wrt the 0 to 1 cent clicks, do you have site-targeted ads enabled, and image ads enabled as well? those pay less than contextual ads for most sites... look at the fart button ads showing up on the adsense network right now.

    i think that adwords has time-of-day targeting, so you might see low epc in the middle of the night, for instance.

    Your niche attacts advertisers who don't pay much for ads. Blacklisting won't help if there are no high-paying ads for your niche. Google would be displaying the highest paying of the low-paying ads for your site. If you block them, you're leaving only lower paying ads.

    High-paying ads are placed by advertisers who have something relatively expensive to sell, or where paid traffic can convert and make them a profit. Are there any sub-topics in your game or anime niche in which advertisers are more likely to pay higher prices for ads to get sales and traffic? If so, focus your site to those sub-niches and you'll get better paying ads.

    When you generate a blacklist at adsblacklist, you need to give it some time to see if it will make a difference. Usually, a week is good.

    It works great if you have a little patience.

    It is hard to blacklist sites but usually I block the .info domains as I know they are made for adsense.

    8 cents a click on such sites is fairly good.

    I make a nice amount per click. I recently re-targeted (no clicks since then) so hopefully I can make a bit more. I'll have to see once some clicks come through. Check out my content to see what kind of ads I get. That might help you out a bit. I can't tell you how much I make per click (against Google TOS.)

    The first link in my sig.

    I mean we can try to list some low paying sites that we blacklisted. For example I have tried to block most .info domains but I am still getting low paying keywords but in less amount. I am talking about the games and anime nniche
