    It depends on what kinds of sites you have (forums, MFAs, blogs) that determines what your earnings and CTRs are.

    But, honestly 75k impressions seems a little abnormal to me. PM me to check out one or a couple of your sites.

    And how are you getting traffic to this site? How are you advertising? Do you have any type of tracking installed? Where are you getting most of your traffic from?

    It sounds to me like the quality of your traffic is not that great. If you are getting quality traffic to your sites for the topic your site should be ranking for, then your CTR would be much higher.

    I get nearly 150 UV per day on blogger plugins and a considerable amount of page views per user.Most traffic is from Google (about 85%)

    check your server logs to see how long users are staying. Maybe you have to improve your site content

    honestly, a tweak as small as changing the color of your adsense links could increase your CTR. I would change it to one of two link colors:

    1) the same color as the other links on your site.
    2) red. (believe it or not)

    Or try google-blue color on the ad-links - 0000C0

    With that many hits you should be able to se soon what works and what dont.
    I think the blending is too good - it gets boring. Make the ads stand just a little bit out,
    a weak yellow bakground for instance. Try one day with each experiment and see...

    Try putting one of those big square ads on the side and see if that helps.

    Page Impressions is not the main factor at the moment, first you need to state how many clicks you are getting in relation to your earnings then we can state if you are doing something wrong.

    Try AdBrite, Tribalfusion or another ad network that pays well for impressions.

    You only earn well with AdSence for a lot of clicks :)

    I think you should email google and ask.

    I am making $300 a day on adsense and I know I get fewer than that
