Is Traffic The Key To Adsense?
We've all heard the stories of webmasters being paid thousands of dollars every month by Google Adsense, so everybody wants to get a "cut of the pie".
So what do you need to make money from Adsense?
Do you need lots of traffic or is it more a case of the type of traffic?
In my own experience I've found that the earnings are better when the site audience is "low tech". The "high tech" users tend to use Firefox, while the low tech users use Internet Explorer.
I suppose you could view it in terms of "blindness"
Hightech users could be using browser plugins to actually block the display of adverts on sites that they visit and even if they don't they've probably developed "banner blindness"
Obviously if your site gets a lot of traffic your chances of earning more increase, but the relationship between traffic and earnings is not as direct as you might think.
What have other people's experiences of this been like?
I think you are right it depends on the Number of clicks that your site have. I have some tips and trick that you might be interested..

Of course it comes down to clicks, as you won't earn without it (unless they're paying CPM)
What I mean is a low page views with higher CTR will gain also a good amount compared to almost time 3 page views with a very low CTR.
Yes, but have you done any serious analysis on the type of traffic that is causing this?
Well actually I have not done any serious analysis because I don't have time at the moment. But based on mysite experience if you made a proper tagging and adsense directing codes for your post.. The tendency is the adsense that will show on your site will be relevant to your post. And If this happen those visitor that is ussually coming from the search engine will click those relevant ads. So therefore SEO is very important.. Actually it is a Chain Reaction.
