How many Page impressions/clicks/clickthrough rate do I need to successfully get earnings, I have quite a few of every one, and by earnings or CPM never goes up.
Also: a side question... I have tried my hardest to influence adsense banners on my site, because they keep brining up unrelated things... i tried posting bold, upsized font all over saying the things I wanted, and nothing. Has anybody ever successfully changed this stupid script?
The Site Search link is at the top of your screen. You can also use google or your favourite search engine, something like:-

That varies wildly from industry to industry.

My experience is the way to increase AdSense earnings is to keep pushing in new content. If you keep your number of visitors/page views on the increase, your revenue from AdSense will, generally, also stay on the increase.
Targetting that new content at higher rate AdWords categories can also have a significant impact.
The rate that the advertisers in your sector "rotate" also makes a difference. A big campaign by someone that bid high for his AdWords can make a huge difference (by way of temporary spike). That's one that's out of your control of course.

Try a quantity approach. To keep that from creating horrible to read articles you'll need to make each article longer.

Make it good for your readers. Then make it longer. Use good keyword page titles. Actually, it's generic SEO really. I do find that media-bot likes nice long articles and a sensible keyword density though....

Changing the script is against the AdSense TOS unfortunately. However, if you're getting really bad targetting, drop the AdSense team an email and explain. They are a really helpful bunch.

Additional - I do sometimes find that one single word even on a long article can throw out the targetting though. I remember one time I used the word "feline" (or something like that) on a 2,000 word article about a cutting edge technology product, and the AdSense ads were all for Christmas Cards with cats on the front. And this was in July. Go figure that one ;-)
