Default Google Adsense Question

I've been blogging about a month and a half and I average around 350 unique visitors a day. My blog is very unique and niche so I don't know how much more to expect than this. My question is that I have only made about $6 bucks on adsense. How do you increase this? What is normal? Thank you.

I think you are doing very well for just getting started. I found that my adsense went up noticeably once my blogs hit their one year birthdays. Just keep writing great content and the money will follow!

I am new to the whole Adsense thing too. Only been blogging since October and have made a whopping $4.75. Watch out, high roller coming through! LOL.

Seriously, I think what Katalina said has a lot of truth to it.

The type of blog and nature of the visitors makes a huge difference. If those are regular readers, they won't be clicking on ads. Search visitors is what drives Adsense revenue.

You're doing well if your CTR is above 0.5%, and it's true that the people searchign for information are more likely to click on adsense. Have a look at your statistics and see whether you're gaining traffic for any search terms. Google analytics does it well.

I haven't yet added Google adsense, but I'm sure that time will raise your profit.

Most of my visitors are "regulars" so I guess that I am barking up the wrong tree w/adsense. But I notice that the longer I blog the more and more referrals I get from google searches, so hopefully it will increase?!

I think it's important to place theme strategically. Google has a help section about it.

Keep writing awesome content and the money will follow!
