    i don't know about you guys/girls but ive noticed throughout the year that the more clicks i get and the lower my earnings per click.

    i sometimes feel that im not getting as much money as i deserve , i was getting a little over 100 clicks a day about 6 months ago and i was making .20to .40 a click, today i get over 1000 clicks a day and i get a fraction of this amount .....

    Is this normal ? has anybody experienced this ?

    im thinking of trying ypn ... but im not sure how that will go .

    "It came to a point with adsense that no matter what i do to increase my earnings it stays the same ... i double my clicks and traffic and my earnings stay the same , i try deleting adds that don't pay and my earnings stay the same , i change keywords on my pages and my earnings stay the same .... what the hell is going on !!!

    If your clicks dont convert for the advertisers, or if the market is saturated with ads for your niche (i.e.; Myspace) the CPC will go down.. It happens to the best of us..

    Give YPN a try. You'll find that the CPC is much higher, but the CTR is much lower because they have a much smaller inventory of ads, and they apparently have not yet figured out how to target ads to the content anywhere near as well as Google does..

    better check now with high paying keywords and try to get in that topic, i tried a niche keyword and make a site for that and it gets around 0.50 cents per click...

    If high paying niches are only paying 0.5 cents per click, I must have the highest paying niche of them all =P.

    Hint: dollars and cents are different
