Here my stats today: Page impressions: 9548 clicks: 357 CTR: 3.9% eCPM:4.99$ Earnings:45.66$ Is it good? Israel traffic (tier 3)
Difficult to answer as it depends on your niche. Personally I would expect a much Higher CTR% than 3.9% and I would also expect 357 clicks to earn far more than $45.66. BUT if your niche is low-paying and your ad's aren't well targetted to your content then this may be considered OK. Cheers, John.
Honestly - Probably not the best niche for Adsense. You have to put yourself in mind of your visitor. If your searching for funny videos and images then you are not looking to buy anything. You're not looking for an answer to a problem. You're simply surfing the web for stuff that will make you laugh. What this means is that you're unlikely to click an an advert. Compare this to an example like "spyware removal". If someone is searching for spyware removal it means they either have a problem or want to ensure they are protected. They are LOOKING for an answer and probably be considering a purchase. Therefore they are far more likely to click on an advertisement. This doesn't mean you can't generate revenue from your site in other ways though. You could try building an email list by placing an opt-in box on your site. You could send your readers a daily/weekly digest of new content. Then once in a while hit them with an offer (perhaps CPA). You would have to research your niche thoroughly and find out if people are spending money in it. If they are - Where? Find out and make a beeline for it. Cheers, John.
