[makiaveli]

hello guys, I've got online flash game's site, avarcade with template which is not common and free, ctr is normal and ads are in a normal position. I'm on 1 page 5 position, keyword search is nearly 50k and it earns 0.02 cents in 24h. : ))) wtf, can anyone help? one guy told me that it's possible that in other countries my ads don't display, can anyone help? need your advice, if you can check it or if u had such problem... please let me know :)

Game sites don't tend to make big earnings - people don't go there to shop, advertisers don't like them and block them, and there could be a country issue, yes.

I don't know what you mean by keyword search being 50k; if you're saying some tool told you that's the potential for that keyword, that doesn't mean you are getting that traffic.

and there could be a country issue, yes. < how to solve it? :) I'm not from U.S.A. my web-site is on the first page on 5th position in google search, I've got 50-60 unique viewers from usa in a day at least and 0 earnings! that is why i think in America my adverts doesn't show up.... help somebody

50-60 unique viewers

That's not enough. For example, at .5% CTR you would need two hundred visitors to register one click. But that's assuming someone was using a keyword phrase that's related to shopping.

Here's an experiment, go to Amazon.com and find relevant products to advertise on your site.

- Is it difficult to find products people WILL buy?

- Is it easier to find products people MIGHT buy?

-Is it easier to find products people COULD be INTERESTED IN?

I have flash games site, I block all the categories in adsense and left only game's category in adverts, because i think people who search for flash games they are interested in flash games and not in buying cloths and e.t.c. I don't think that i'll earn big money with flash games, but 0.00 earnings 150 unique visitors, 60 from U.S.A and zero earning is normal? :|

Very normal. In fact, if you got ten times as many visits, I'd be amazed if you made five dollars american.

AdSense isn't a good fit for every site. But you definitely need a lot more traffic before you can even begin to register.
