I hate to hijack, but I'm facing the exact same issue you are. The rates that I've heard quoted for AdSense just aren't happening for me. My rates are very similar to yours, samblr. I think that part of my problem (and it could be yours) is that I don't have a ton of written content around my free giveaways, which is the core of my site. Basically: plenty of cake, very little frosting. Can anyone offer advice for increasing AdSense revenue for a site without much written content? I run a site called Preset Love (http://presetlove.com http://presetlove.com) which gives away free Lightroom presets (Lightroom is an image editor for Adobe). My ad rates are abysmal and I've thought of walking away as a result. I welcome feedback.

Every single one of your pages I visited shows me a remarketing ad. This tells me that Google can't find good matching advertisers for your content so they show remarketing ads instead. Remarketing ads always pay out much, much less.

  Good feedback, thank you: it certainly means that I'm not doing a good job giving clues to AdSense what the site is about.

At its peak I had one (photos) site making ~$2000/month. Not a lot of text per item, though I did try to provide extensive tree-structured content. (Now that site is lucky to make 1% of peak, BTW!)

I would add a h1 heading with keywords "Lightroom Presets" (?) near the top of the page. But I think the main thing to do is experiment with the size and location of your ads. My highest clickthrough pages just have a stack of three ad blocks in a left side or left-middle column above the fold. I have never been able to get a good result with the horizontal banner style ads.
