I know I am not doing as well as I should with Adsense. Before I can start working on it I want to gauge exactly how poorly I am faring. Take a look at www.pallab.net. According to GA, I got 45K hits and 81K PVs in the month of March (80% of my traffic is from Search Engines and majority are from US). For a technology blog like mine, what you do expect the monthly income to be? Any guesses on what would be an average CTR would also be helpful.
Nice blog. But according to alexa you get only 20% US visitors and rest from India and China etc. How many unique visitors you get? Technology blog will have low payouts A 3% CTR is good. You should be making $1200 per month from adsense. You should look into monetizing your contents in different ways. Don't rely on adsense 100%. create an ebook and give it away for free to start building your list. Do a survey of your visitors and ask them what is their most pressing problems. And sell a ebook full of solutions to those problems.
Thanks for responding. That just goes to show you how unreliable Alexa is. Data from my Analytics suggests that less than 15% of my visitors are from India. Nearly 40% are from US/Canada/UK. Thats what I read at most places. But, the trouble is that my CTR is no where near that figure. I believe he was just being sarcastic (or may be he just loves being rude).
