One of the most important steps in selecting a new niche or trying to increase your adsense earnings is to understand what the highest cost-per-click (CPC) keywords are for your niche. It’s important to know these high paying keywords, so that you can target them by writing useful, but targeted content involving the keywords. This will have a dramatic effect on your Google Adsense earnings.
Let’s say you average 500 unique visitors per day. If your site averages $0.10 per click, and you receive 20 clicks on your Adsense units per day, you’ll be receiving $2.00 per day in revenue. There are three ways to increase your revenue per day
We are going to concentrate on the third option, which is increasing the CPC.
Let’s say we can target higher paying keywords, and the average CPC increases to $0.20. Without any other variables changing you are going to make $4.00 per day, which is a 100% increase in revenue.
