Low adsense income ( 500+ unique daily and only $2 )

    Hi, I have a game site and after reading some DP posts i realized i should be making some more from adsense ( My visitors are mainly from us and canada )
    Ads are placed correctly the problem are the keywords. What would be good keywords for a pc games site

    Here are sme of the ads showing on my site:
    www.there.com
    bigbadtoys.com
    cosmodeonline.com
    japanforum.com

    My stats from yesterday
    21.956 38 0,21% US$0,14 US$1,99

    I can write a small article and make it repeat on all pages to influence the ads i'm getting, but i have no clue what keywords i should use

    PS ctr is low because ads are irrelevant to the context not because of placement.
    Thanks for the help

    I make less than that with more visitors. :p

    If you have enough traffic you may want to look at some CPM alternatives.

    With that kind of traffic, I suggest you go with CPA networks if you are not doing good with adsense..

    How about relevant high paying keywords to influence the ads your site gets. Does this not work?
