Hey all, I am new here and I am reading trough most of the posts lot of good articles here.

My question is I have 3 sites that I am running one is about domains, free flash games, web design blog...

Most of my clicks range from .03 to .09 cents a click some times I get lucky and hit some .30 to even 1.50 a click but that is like one click a week,,

I am just wondering what can I do to make sure that all ads are for example .10 cents at least..

Thanks I hope its not a bad question :)

How many ad units are you running per page? If its more than 1, I suggest only running 1 to keep only the highest paying ads visible to your viewers.

It's not a bad question. But there isn't much you can do about epc because the ads shown are the highest paying available ads at the moment. At least that's how it's supposed to work.

Unless adsense gives us the option to not allow minimum bid clicks then you can't. I'm running at an average of 46c per click this month, but I still see clicks that average 1-3c at times.

Often the low payers have a high ctr. It may be that your site works better with 100 clicks at 1c than 1 click at 99c. Some niche's are low earners but popular, and some niches may pay higher with lower clicks.

There are so many factors involved it's difficult to say what might improve cpc, but the general rules are that content is king, and visibility and visitor numbers matter. If your site is visible in relevant searches, and you have content that people want to read AND your site converts for advertisers, then you generate a higher cpc.

It's good advice to have a minimum of adsense blocks on the page. My second block had virtually no clicks. removing it put the ctr and epc up. Put a channel on each ad block, and if it doesn't work then dump it! Also, experiment with different ad blocks and placements - these can make a difference too. By moving from a right aligned skyscraper to a centre mounted large rectangle my earnings doubled. Also, experiment with blending the ads to the page and making them stand out might help.

I was getting alot of low clicks .03 .10 I starting reading up on alot of these topics and I did something 1 of them suggested and I am making more money and getting a few more clicks. Although I am still a 1 site guy with not high pay back to me I am slowly moving on up.
