1- Make pages for high price adwords.
2- Increase the number of impressions.
3- Increase the number of click-throughs.
Those simplistic 'tips' fail to recognize the fact that high price adwords face the highest competition from publishers. Also, highly priced words does not guarantee the words have the largest number of audience (potential clickers on the ads). Therefore, and because of those two reasons, racing mindelssly for the highest priced adwords is a simplistic way of thinking how to earn more. One should factor in other varialbes such as how many publishers would compete with you for this adword, and how large is the audience for it. A formula containing all these three variables (adword value, publishers' competition, size of audience) is the one more likely to work.
Welcome to WebMasterWorld. The first part of what you wrote is on the money. However, your alternative suggestions won't really make any difference. The first problem you face is that we don't have that data. Then you have to hope that Google matches your site to these areas.
The big issue to look at is that it is Advertisers who ultimately set the price of ads and Google has such complex bidding and Smart Pricing systems that it makes it hard to work out what is happening at any moment. Then in a flash it will all change. One or two advertisers leaving a keyword group can cause the price to plummet. Just have a look around this forum for threas about income going down (and up) and you'll see how messy it gets.
Bottom line for me: put together the best site you can and use your current Google resources to optimise your income (eg Channels, Preview tool).
Searche engines will love you, vistors will come back and you will make a little more every month. One year later you will have a healthy and serious business there.
Hard but simple.
Sites that have a very broad view of a subject tend to grow in revenue every month.
I don't know where you get that from. It's unlikely to be something you gauged from the general discussions on this board.
The simple calculations you mention are simple calculations for Adsense spam.
But Mauricio has the real formula. Unfortunately, some readers won't understand it.
Welcome to WW. :)
I think the formula is easier:
Add everyday a lot of fresh and good content.
Precisely. Having a diverse collection of subtopics within your overall topic is also helpful, because your ads--and revenues--will come from a larger base of advertisers.

Love what you do and do what you love
Or at least "learn to love what you do" so .. you can do what you REALLY love with the freedom the hard hard work during these go-to days of net money will bring you.
Honestly, I've trained myself to actually enjoy (ok, tolerate in reasonable doses) some of the grunt work I hate the most about web stuff .. not a masochist, just a realist.
