Can you profit from CPC 10 cents?

11 years ago

10 cents is 10 cents more than you had yesterday, so in a way you could call it profitable. The question is - just how profitable do you want to be? If it's something you truly believe you can become an authority in, then my opinion is that it's still worth considering. But if you're just targeting it solely because you believe you have found an uncompetitive niche, then I would say avoid it.

If i am not wrong, you are telling that you have found a niche with low competition and low CPC. Now you are trying to build a site on the same niche with adsense on it and trying to bring traffic to your site using Adwords. To dismay you, it wont work to make it profitable at all rather you will loose money. First of all whatever google wont pay you the same amount of money which they will take from your adwords account. Secondly, if you get 100 clicks to your ads then all of them wont click on the ads on your site as they have already came to your site from an ad. So bottom line is that you will be loosing money at the end if you go with adwords. Go with seo as the competition is low, you will be profitable in long run.

Not using AdWords and never plan to.

I am using AdSense to monitize the site.

And yes it is LOW competition keywords, with large amounts of traffic and better yet, little to no competition.
