Hi all. I have a website for students and teachers where i share my own worksheets and other stuff. Because i host all documents on my own server my bandwidth exceeds its capacity in the middle of each month. so i have to pay extra to get some more bandwidth which lead me to decide to put some adsense on my site. so yesterday when i check my reports i got this from adsense: 3156 pageviews and 41 click and 16.52$ (page ctr 1.30%, page eCPM $5.24) Do you think it is good earning for this page view? I want to earn enough at least i can pay for the hosting. Can you share some of your thoughts/ideas please? I put one adsense link unit at top and one on the right sidebar. Thanks.
Since you're able to use 3 ads and 3 link units on each page, you should use them in order to improve your CTR. It isn't that much, but we don't know your unique amount of visitors neither so it's hard to tell. Try testing different ad positions and see what works the best for you
CTR is not really good. you can lift it up to 5 with proper ad placement and color combination. Using all three ad blocks and link units does not mean the higher earnings, infact any one should concentrate on imroving CTR and eCPM. Visit my blog to get adsense tips and tricks.
