If you never got traffic - why did Google adsense pay you $300 in a month? I get ~600 visits per day and I barely get $0.10/day - usually ~$1 if someone clicks on an ad.
- justinhj 11y agoThings have changed. There is a lot more content out there competing for page views. I made $100 a year from adsense from a site with a few programming tutorials on it, although I forget the traffic numbers. It suddenly just dropped to nothing without any change in the number of visitors.

- ssharp 11y agoAd network traffic is really a last resort. In my experience, they tend to focus a lot on remarketing and not enough on testing related products/services. For a lot of sites with lower traffic volumes, you might find better CPM's by hand-picking affiliates. At large volumes, doing ad sales.
- Scoundreller 11y ago10cents per day sounds extraordinarily low for 600 visits per day. But it all depends on content and how rich your traffic is. US Traffic will pay better than developing nation traffic.
- nadams 11y agoI mean that's a quick glance at Google Analytics - I don't know if Google has algorithms that filter out bots or other non-human traffic. I have thought about dumping google adsense and trying something else.
