Am I making enough?

My website gets around 400k page views a day.

The only ad network I have now, is Google adsense.

Break down on earnings:

-For every 200k page views I make roughly $300
-I get on average .30-.50 cpc a day. It varies.
-On a good day when I get 600k page views, I make around $600-$800
-CTR = .30-%.40%

My question would be, do you guys think my cpc is good, do you think my earnings are good, or can they be better? Sometimes I think I might not be earning enough, but I might be greedy and wrong. What do you guys think. Any advice, and advice on how to raise cpc too?

Please warrior friends, any help will be appreciated forever!

    I think the biggest question is what niche if your website in? This will play a HUGE factor in how much you make.

    Without seeing your site and having an understanding of your target market, it's difficult to give you any constructive feedback.

    However, with the amount traffic you are getting, you are likely missing out on other opportunities to monetize your visitors.

    Thats great results if I read that correctly. If you need further help we would need to know what niche you are in as others previously mentioned. With the amount of visitors you're getting, I would be adding in some CPA offers!

    i think you are greedy and wrong

    sorry, couldnt help

    your ctr is good. you can probably achieve higher with some smart placements, but it usually is borderlline spammy and can lead to trouble when a reviewer is in a bad mood. without knowing the exact niche i suggest your earnings are reasonable, unless it's finance or health niche and mostly EN trafic, then you should really aim for an extra 0 with this sort of pageviews volume.

    Your site is getting 12,000,000 Million Impressions Per Month.

    Sell Banner Advertising space, multiple spots.. Header, SideBar, Footer, etc.

    If it is mainly text content monetize your site with inline-text advertising.

    Also sell "Pop Under" traffic.

    If not other peoples ads, then run your own.

      We will move into that direction of getting direct sales, but right now we are still in the phase of relying on Google adsense and other platforms, due to the fact that we are a new brand.

    I would say for a fun image site you are making good. You should test some other ads and see what will happen, like mobile cpa offer, really profitable now.

    Id focus on changing your CTR.
    I only make $10 a day with adsense, but i had about .4% CTR aswell and got the average up to 1.2% Tripled the money without doing anything other then moving around the ads.

    I also noticed 40% of my traffic was mobile and I made sure the ads would be mobile friendly which also helped the CTR

    funny sites and the keywords for them are pretty low paid, so you are doing allright to be honest.
    you could try to replace 1 of the adsense bars with some kind of affiliate/cpa dynamic banner with something catchy or that has "humor" in its animation. wont hurt you to try things out

    Thanks for all the replies guys, We will release a mobile version with better ad placements, and see how that does, since we get atleast 30k visitors a day from their mobile devices.

    hi, you are making a nice amount but you can make more with cpa maybe. Simple email submites pay upto $1 per fill. Try and moetize but losing $600 just for one test can be too much.
