Are my earnings appropriate for my traffic? Could use some pointers

Hello

I want to make it clear that I am a beginner.

Just over 3 months ago My partners and I released our website and as of today have accumulated just under 2 million page views and are on pace for approx 700k views a month along with having 8.5k registered users.

As of now we are using Adsense and have blocks of adspace for sale as well.

We are only making $230/mo from adsense and I would like to know if this seems low? Also, no one is purchasing our ad blocks.

I have read that our site demographic (pc gaming) might be the cause of this.

Am I missing a piece to the puzzle here or are 700k views/mo really only worth $200 for a gaming website??

Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

    I think you can make a lot more.. Gaming niche is huge, but the quality of traffic matters too. Care to share it with me so I can advice you more?

    That is kind of low. I think with that amount of traffic you should be able to make more. Have you tried changing your adsense ad placement? Another option is you could try CPA offers or even something like amazon or epn

    Gaming niche is huge. But your getting low from Adsense.
    If you have targeted traffic, Change your ad positions.
