    I have a couple of mainstreams Sites together they hit like 150k a day but I'm just pulling in $100 from Adsense. Bandwidth is taking most of that.

      Keep changing your filters/qualification pages until you hit a combo that pays well.

        Haven't made any money on mainstream lately. Other than by designing sites for businesses in my community.
        Not a lot of money, though

              Adsense has been paying very well lately, I guess it all about the words you go after

                      that sounds horrible for adsense. have you tried messing with the color scheme and stuff? let me see your pages i might be able to help. most of my pages have a CTR of about 20%.

                                I have about 25k(160-200k pageviews because the surfer stay for a long time) and this is what a average day look like


                                But on www.tradedoubler.com I get 20-50% CTR... but NOT on google adsense

                                  20%?

                                  My bad days with Adsense are when I get down to 55-60%

                                        I've been making $500 or so a month just through Cafepress referrals.

                                        Not sure if that would work for you, but I was kinda impressed.

                                          If you have such a high CTR on google adsende, it must be because what is on the banner is better than what is on your site = no bookmarkers.

                                          guess all that matter is what you get payed in the end of the day, and the ~$100 MORE than pays my BW bill

                                              http://www.claxon.com pays on CPM banners, skyscrapers, and leaderboards. I'm pretty sure they take all types of mainstream sites.

                                                  - Fullscreen window
                                                  - no other outgoing link than his large google textbanner
                                                  - only 5-10 keywords on the page

                                                    If you have such a high CTR on google adsende, it must be because what is on the banner is better than what is on your site = no bookmarkers.

                                                    guess all that matter is what you get payed in the end of the day, and the ~$100 MORE than pays my BW bill
                                                    Flawed logic. A surfers clicks because they are interested in learning more (inline ads in an article with great content works very well in this case). I target surfers who are in a buying behavorial mode, already have their credit cards handy and are ready to purchase something.

                                                    I use the filter list alot too, eBay and other low-bidders with rather untargeted content do not touch my sites.

                                                    Don't be jealous.

                                                      - only 5-10 keywords on the page
                                                      I'm not going to argue with you. I make enough with Adsense that Google sends me checks every month via UPS.

                                                      It's all about Adsense placement and banner sizes.

                                                                        Its all about contrast and placement -- test until you reach your desired point.

                                                                        I usually do 7-15% CTR on my Adsense sites. I try to move traffic to other pages on my sites so I'm not really better off having a higher CTR.

                                                                        What kind of CPC are you guys averaging? My very general sites usually do pretty bad, maybe 5 cents, but my best sites average over a dollar a click/
