Need some newbie Adsense advice. Screenshot included.

    Over the years I have made a few websites here and there; nothing special. Today I checked my Adsense account and clicked "All Time". Well, it made me sad. :p

    [​IMG]

    What do these figures tell you? :confused: 348 clicks and only 27.46 EUR?

    Any advice would be appreciated. :D

    because your cpm is low... take 254421 divide by 1000 then multiply .11 = 27.46 (or at least around that amount)

    so it tells me clicks are not the only important measurement.

    Hello Ny, my cpm is quite low too so I know how you feel but I am trying to improve that by publishing more content, using the keywords related to my website, and working with the colors of the ads. I heard this will help..

    Wow I've never seen CTR so low . Google's answers helped me a lot in the beginning . Think of the ads like a gateway for the users when they get enough of your site . I did that and presto 300% CTR increase .

    You just happened to pick a low paying niche it seems. If you try branching out to different niches you enjoy you could probably make a good amount with Adsense considering it looks like you have the traffic down.
