so what can we do to make it better....other than increasing traffic...well it seems that all .01 cent ads are in the site
we have filtered around 10 sites....still no progress...
well suggestion might be to go for high pay ads...
but our is niche site...and all keywords are well used in our site...and it is ranking very well now...
so if we start using other keyword...this might create problem in SERP
so should we start writing jokes using those keyword or write jokes for high pay keyword...this doesnt sound sensible
please suggest us some solution...
As you suspect, joke sites just aren't going to do well with Adsense, and jokes related to mesothelioma probably won't go over too well (or convert well, even if they get a click).
Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Then sell ad space on a CPM basis....

But seriously, folks, I was curious about that too, so I googled some joke sites to see, if they had adsense, what they were advertising.
The answer: Other joke sites.
The answer: Other joke sites.
And THAT explains why you aren't getting much per click.
Fred, did you see other ways that those sites were earning money?
But if have to bring 100 clicks for 1 dollar then it is better not to keep adsense in a site...
and may be relatively it makes site slower in this part of world...where it needs extra time to fetch ads and connection are not that good

"The answer: Other joke sites. "
Yes thats true but it has both side pros and cons
pros...as other jokes sites are displayed the CTR is as high as 12-15% some times....
and cons ..as you know low paid MFA sites...
so as i say we even blocked about 10 but its same type of sites coming..more over its a portal site....with joke as section...so we need to block other sites in other section ..that way this 200 filter may not be solution we guess
so what can we do about it?
Netmag
Maybe with YouTube video ads? Write some stuff about comedy clubs? Reviews of humorous books and dvds? (you can maybe pick up some amazon affiliate money this way too)
We have started videos in the site...ok that review things seems ok..we hope we should go with that...revieing funny movies and books....and amazon doesnt work much here....
but though we started as a niche joke site...now we have started getting visitors for keyword "jokes" only from msn live search so we hope its time to go international....
thanks for comments
we had around 400-450+ impression
Forget about Adsense, you're going to need to work on bringing in more traffic.
