........... something is not right :thumbdown:

i def agree with that. thats wack! 13 clicks is about 5 bucks for me most of the time. 95 whoa lol

That's 15 cents per click... Unfortunately, that's not an unusual number depending on what your content is. It's probably due to your keyword targeting. What site are you referring to?

It goes to show that you're definitley getting the traffic and the clicks, maybe divert some traffic from that site to a site focusing on higher paid keyword ads and convert the clicks over on that site?

Just an idea, I'm a beginner publisher

I can't give out the URL, but the topic is defense, military, war etc. This is depressing.. :-\

thats about what i pay 15 cpc and i get quite a few clicks and an ok number of people to my optin page

I get anywhere from .25-50 rpc per day.

95 clicks = $14-$15 is average for me.

Maybe because military is not very popular among advertisers... (except terrorist, maybe they bought weapon through online transactions). Just a thought.

I wish I had your problem!

That used to happen to me, if its a new site it will eventually go up.

I don't get traffic to my site as you guys do but I also am in the same boat.

I'm the most underpaid (IMO) publisher in EF.
* Yesterday I had 36 clicks and $1.50
* The day before 51 clicks and $2.01
* The last 7 days 257 clicks and $12.10

That's on an average 0.04$ per click. That's not some I would like in return for my hard work. My site is "new", 8 months old.

My AdSense for search is even worse!!
6 clicks and $0.03!!! WTF only half a cent per click?!!!!!


One thing that I read what Rex posted at bloggerskills is publishers are underpaid and things are bound to be bright and we'll have better ePCM eventually when AdSense got "serious" competition.


@ Srirangan,
That's 0.15$!! I would be more than happy if I get 7-10 cents per click. :P

I'd be cool with 15c / click. But payrates are going down constantly....

Try filtering mfa sites, it might help.

But i think .15$/click is very good, you should be happy with it ...
it's possible that sometimes you get pae alot, but avarages are usually lower (about .10)

Sadly, no. It is a year and a half old. But, it did go through major major changes in the first week of August.

Wow dude. $0.04 rpc is really really low.

In my case I'm sure it is not because fo Google's dreaded Smart Pricing. The site is one of the top sites of the genre, it is very well read, is in DMOZ, Yahoo Directory and Google News.

yep, it's big thanks for the terrorist but don't think marketers will market them publicly. Search for AK-47 in Google and none is selling it (I'm referring to AdWords advertising campaign, not the web search results).

I might as well switch to some CPM network and give them the 100,000 impressions I give currently to Adsense. :-/

I know it's low, but I'm sticking with AdSense. In India we don't have any choice do we? Today is even worse. 16 clicks and $0.35 with RPC $0.02 till now. I'm sure it won't cross $0.03-0.04 by the end of the day.

That's it from my side on my AdSense earning, I won't scare/bore you people with my earnings.
