If I may ask, is it 3,600 searches not small?? I have a site that is ranking on the page 1 for 2 keywords, and I get almost zero traffic from the keyword. I haven’t added adsense yet, but with the amount of traffic I get, I would only be getting adsense impressions. I love going for competitive niches because that even when you are #10 on page 1, you can make up to $100 a month. That would encourage you to work harder to aim for number 1.

And of course the biggest chunk which seems to be pulling in $10 a day consistently since changing the layout is my very first niche blog. I really wish I was getting higher paying clicks because I am only getting about $0.5-$.25 per click. lol.

Unfortunately when I made my niche blog, I wasn’t really counting on earning from adsense, my mission from the start was to earn from affiliate sales but this blog has done the exact opposite. It has only earned about $15 worth of affiliate sales in a year’s time but has done $536.00 with adsense in that same time frame. I expect it to be earning about $300 a month now since the layout has made the difference.
