    I asked this question back in February this year

    Since then, I've had an improvement I'm at around $0.16 now - my monthly average.

    I didn't change anything myself so does this just happen? I'd still like to be earning a bit more to help pay off the server fees. I've 1 fairly large banner on my forum, what would you suggest?

    Maybe edit out your eCPM at the top before you post your URL... or just change it to like "a dime" instead of the actual value... cause you never know when Matt Cutts will find you and ban you! No just kidding, but I also would be interested in seeing your site.

    Try to improve your site's CTR and traffic. That will improve the eCPM.

    Put your ads in a high CTR place like at the top of your content and in the top left of your site too and drive more traffic to your site.

    That will help you a lot.

    :)

    Your ctr is very bad! Try to implement different ad placement on your site. Put the max of ad you can add. You need to test what is working or not. Then you rid off of what not working and try to find another ad placement.. keep testing, only you can know what really working. With the kind of traffic you get in february, I can easily get at least $300/month. :D

    well only you can tell how to make people click more on your site :) its hard for anyone else to comment without looking at the website. Some sites will naturally have less click, lick tech sites.

    Normally people read in F way, so get your ads aligned in that way.

    well its hard to make money with adsense when started new, but there are people making lots of money with them and also people who is living with the money come from adsense which influenced me to start adsense after meeting this friend - who is driving Porsche Cayenne and Wolkswagen Tourag and a nice house.. Try to promote your webpage daily for more traffic, there are people who are working hard at least 4 hours...
