    Are you getting visitors from search engines, (coming visitors from the same keyword searches)?

    If not, then referral traffic may not give you too much.

      What's the advertiser competition? Maybe there aren't many advertisers using that KW.

    i guess comp# means competition, if this is so i don't know this. yeah i am usually signed when i visit my site. the bounce rate and visit time is good(60% and 1:30 mins)

    Even after targeting the good CPC keywords the cpc does not increase, rather i just found it decreased to $0.02.

    Can any warrior help here??

    You could also try other monetisation methods. Are there relevant CPA offers you can find? Maybe Amazon? Or the evergreen answer of building a list?

    I found some warriors attract cpc and others (like me dont ) Your blog content is probably fine but simply changing themes (if using wordpress) can help. If peeps are staying on your site for 1:30 then thats not too bad but if they are not clicking the adwords ads then they may have actually found what they were looking for in your posts. If so try putting in affiliate links into your posts to monetize the traffic. Traffic can be such a random thing so testing is good

    There is a great free plugin on the wordpress depository call "slimstat" easier to use than goggle analytics and tells you lots about the traffic you are recieving
    Cheers,
    Scotty

    hi sackboy, thanks for advice, i really don't know CPA, i am in low energy to try anything else actually
    hi scott, thanks for advice, i think i stick with the theme, it is producing good ctr, and clicks are there(have good ctr), i don't have idea of affiliate links, i am not sure whether such affiliate link will reduce reduce adsense revenue later on.

    @warriors where are you?
    Problem:
    good pageview, good CTR, CPC optimized blog post but low CPC data- where is the problem?
