Seriously Adsense... Seriously???

18,488 128 0.69% $0.60 $11.17

For the Week. WOW Is that even good for adsense now? I have no idea...

 

I think thats pretty low, why dont you try some other beside adsense

 

.69% ctr is incredibly awfull, you should get at least 4-5%, what is your site maybe I can give you some layout tips to bring your ctr up.

 

I got 1,500 and made $1.83.

Your CTR is better than mine but your CPC is really low.

 

4-5% CTR?? Damn. My site is getting %.33 http://www.osflv.com/

Which is a shame, because I have a decent CPC.

 

nah your numbers are shite. Your click through rate is really bad. With 18,488 impressions I would be looking at around 1000 clicks.

$11.17 for 128, its about average.

I would look into moving your ads about and try and get that CTR up.

 

I forgot to say that I was changing things around and for 2-3 days I didnt have adsense on them so that effected it maybe. Here's today's
1,941 71 3.66% $1.87 $3.63

My site is http://newarcadeintown.com

 

Ok not as bad but still room for improvement. I would shoot for getting a 7% - 10% CTR.

My suggestion would be stick a 160x600 in the left side bar, either top or bottom. Also, the large Adsense image at the top might not be doing you any justice, are you getting clicks on those? Personally I would have replaced that image with a 728x90 text unit.

Dont forget about the link units. 728x15 (with 5 ads) works really well for me when at the top - right under your current Adsense image.

 

Alright Cormac I'll Try that.

 

Good luck and don't forget to play around with the colours of the units.

 

I just got 2 more clicks for 10 more cents. I need higher clicks.

 

Optimize your pages for higher CPC. Add content, reduce the amount of ads, filter out cheap traffic. For example, I stopped buying any traffic in the buy and sell section as google always smart priced it. Now, the organic traffic gives me more than I was getting from all the purchased traffic

 

Change the width to pixels (probably the width of the top menu) and you may notice an increase.

CPC on an arcade isn't great... so all you have going for you is the CTR. The advice you got is good. There is still is room for improvement if it fails. I haven't worked with these types of layouts, but if 2-3 weeks go by and it's still not decent, PM me. I can try to think of another layout for you.

 

This is very low earning

what is your niche buddy ...i guess you need to start working on content so that you can get high CTR

 

$11.17 from 128 clicks

I can't believe it, too low

 

don't complain 0.60eCPM is very good

try other programs beside adsense youll be hard pressed to find anyone that pays better

 

I have the same problem.

 

See about filtering out some MFA sites that pay extremely low. Optimize some original content and play with blending. Overall it doesnt seem bad to me, but again I have found a lot of things video game related (online or consols) dont seem to pay to much.
