To Increase my AdSense Earnings - How to find out How Much an Advertiser is Paying?

    Hi,

    I am trying to increase my AdSense earnings and I already covered all the basics, with all that already done:
    - Good site content;
    - Good amount of content;
    - Good ad placement;
    - Good ad colours;
    - Good ad formats;
    - Good number of Ads;
    - Traffic is related, mostly organic from Google searches (firts place for the main keyword among over 1 million results);
    - Blocked MFA sites using Google AdSense Preview Tool (all Advertisers at this moment that advertise on my site via AdSense/AdWords have real company web sites);
    - Included google_ad_section_start to increase relevance;
    - Included Keywords with High Overture;
    - Included Keywords with the Highest CPC in my field (a branch of Education);
    - Included Keywords with low competing sites (results on Google);
    - Included Keywords with high number of Advertisers on AdWords;
    - Included Keywords with a higher number of estimated clicks on AdWords.

    Some more info:
    - Site PageRank is PR3 (was PR4 before the last update);
    - Around 100 uniques a day;
    - Site is 8 Eight years old;
    - Traffic is almost all from Brazil, from portuguese-speaking visitors (site content is also in portuguese);
    - A not good point is that the number of site pages is very low since I am reestructuring it at this moment;
    - CTR is quite good, above average;
    - Estimated CPC, from AdWords, is mostly from US$5. to US$10.


    THE PROBLEM
    The problem is that I only make US$0.10 (ten cents) per click, maximum 15 cents and even though only occasionally, what is certainly too little. This is happening for about 2 two months now.


    THE QUESTION
    - Can I find out exactly how much each Advertiser is paying and this way also block those bidding on the 5cents/10cents keywords?
    - So, since I can not change of field, because there is where I work, what else can I do to increase my earnings from AdSense?
    - Is there anything else that I am not covering?


    Thanks in advance for all your support.

    :)

    $5 to $10 I would say it's a good CPC. Of course it depends on your site's domain.

    I think you should increase your traffic, because 100 uniques a day is really low for a 8 years old site.

    The problem is that you are wasting your time on this junk when what you should be doing is increasing that 100 uniques a day traffic. It doesn't matter if you find out your advertisers are paying you $500 a click if you don't have the traffic to convert with.
