Question on Google cpc and Entertainment sites

    ok, I am a noob when it comes to entertainment sites, but I threw one up because I was so impressed with how quickly they draw organic traffic. Anyway, one thing that shocked me was the google CTR and ecpm rates - I am standing at around 0.10% and $0.12 -- are these numbers standard? I don't have a ton of impressions, but around 10,000 in March so far. I have decided to supplement with some ringtone and stubhub affiliate ads (concert tix) - but I am not expecting much there.

    Any thoughts...?

    To be honest Google Adsense has become really crap... You need to be pushing content like Credit Cards, Loans, P*rn and stuff like that to really make alot of money

    0.10% and $0.12 it seems to be very stingy...Google becomes very strict and greedy...
