    Just opened my new site up today and I got 88 views and 1 click,

    page impress-88
    clicks-1
    page ctr-1.14%
    page ecpm-$14.71
    earnings-$1.29

    I know that has to be great because I had another site with 800 views and 4 clicks, and I made $0.07. Also at first it only said it was worth $0.01, and it went up and I think its gone up even more, so does a click earn more or something like that?

    Anyway can someone fill me in with how good that is and the money that could be made with numbers like that (far fetched #s but who knows lol). thanks!

    If every click you receive is worth $1.29 your looking good. Don't get used to it as it can change day by day hour by hour. Good luck.

    That should be a good sign and a good start. Obviously you could aim for higher CTR and with increased traffic, you earning will go up as well. $1.29 should be ok and it all depends on the niche in which you are in.

    Dear Wilson2k3,


    Yes its a good start , Your CPC is 1.29 , but what I see is you got is only one click, you need to increase your CTR

    As you have decent traffic to your site or blog and your AdSense income is low, try the following tips and see how your CTR increases dramatically.

    1. Make your ads visible above the fold. Statistics have proved that ads which are visible without scrolling generates highest clicks. Another reason is that the ads will look like normal web links that visitors are used to click on them. Also the large rectangle ad format has proven to be the highest CTR generator.

    2. Make your ads blend with your site content. Make sure that your ads background and border color are same as your content background. Ad text and URL should have the same color as that of the font color of your ads. And Make the link color to that of your web pages link color.

    3. Make use of set of special comments to tell the Adsense spiders about your main content. This will help AdSense to serve more relevant ads based on your content. And more relevant content means more clicks.

    4. Write keyword rich, grammatically correct juicy posts. This will make people read them and spiders will serve the best ads related to your keywords. Make sure you have some large content. Don't place ads on pages with 2 lines of content.

    5. Make use of custom channels from your Adsense console. Analyze your stats and tweak settings so that you get the highest CTR. Keep records of all the changes you do and measure your results periodically.

    Apply these techniques and you will definitely see a dramatic increase in your CTR.

    Hope this helps you.
