    I'm a little frustrated. I've spent a long time building up traffic to my arcade site, www.playedonline.com, but thought revenue would be higher per visitor.

    I don't know if I can do anything about the low payout per click, but maybe I can improve my CTR somehow?

    Any ideas? Visitors are 60% from the US, 25% from UK and rest is MISC.

    What is the source of traffic? If it is from social networking sites (like stumbleupon and del.icio.us) then the conversion will be low because most people leave the pages without even looking at the content.

    91 clicks @ $5.42? You have nothing to complain about for an arcade site, sorry.

    Well, it's an arcade site... not a make money online site

    The prices are going to be lower. You need to work on your CTR.

    I have a website strictly for the Sony PSP (Playstation Portable) and with 91 clicks I would be making probably only $2.00-$3.00 more then your arcade website.

    Most website niches that are for games usually don't have a high payout simply because the people who use adwords for their arcade/gaming websites don't want to pay $5.00 a click for something like a flashgame website. Unfortunately Gaming sites and Arcade sites are low paying niches.

    Don't give up however! If you play your cards right I bet you can see at least a 2x increase. I'm not sure how but I bet you could :)
