I own a gaming forum which receives 150,000+ page views & 18,000+ unique visitors daily. I have multiple adsense banners. One in forumhome under the navbar & one under all thread's 1st post. I receive about 100 clicks daily and make about 10-20$ daily. I'm guessing that's not really good?

It's $10 or $20 dollars a day more than if you weren't running ads!

You have a lot of visitors. But the CTR is low. That is the common problem for forums. Also gaming niche paying is known to be low.

I think it's good compared to some I make $1.00 per day lol Many other gaming webmasters have complained about the same thing.

If you could find better combination and display of the ads, you might get better impressions then more clicks. I noticed some forum even use more page view for more ad display, example is when replying to a post, the Quick Reply is disabled which people tend to click Post Reply or Add reply button..

Depends who you're asking. $20 is small chnage to someone living in the western world, but to someone in Africa who's starving it's a huge fortune and would most certainly make the difference between life and death..

Even in the "western world" $20 A DAY is an extra £50-£60 a week, maybe not life changing, but ...


... every little helps as they say

Gaming Niche is not good if you're going to use it on adsense. Niche like finance and law are the good ones

I dont think $10 to $20 is bad for 100 clicks, you could always try other ways to run ads anyhow, with affilate programs you might find they work better for you.
