Hi I don't know what happened to my blog today, but suddenly there are a lot of clicks. For today 49 clicks and Im only getting $2.95. Any one tell me why so low return? How do I improve it?
just write content that has higher paying keywords. maybe change up your ad placements after you add some new content aswell
What's your niche? If I were you, I'll focus to niches that pay good amount of $$$. Since your ad placements is ok, try to improve your content and targeted keywords.
Don't worry, it will be back to normal in a couple of days. Happen to me all the time. It could be because your serp is shifting and Big G need more trust from your before sending you high cpc ads.
There are many known niches that have high CPC. Usually niche like insurance, travel, mortgage, etc.Here a list http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.com/internet/top-paying-words.htm. Or you can go to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal , type in a keyword, click on option and select display of CPC. It gives you an idea how much advertiser are bidding on that keywords. The general thumb of rule is if the bid is a round $2 that is a reasonably good niche to work on. Hope it helps
My blog is about reviewing non-alcohol beverages and I use google keyword tool to get some keywords that has cpc above $1, then put them in the review articles. Am i doing wrong? I'm a noob, please pointing me to some right directions.
Yes you are more or less on the right path. But bear in mind Big G don't pay you $1 a click. You get much lesser then that. Let your site aged a bit, usually after awhile your CTR and ecpm will get more stable and you start to see higher paying ads allocate to you.
