From which countries are the clics? There must have been something really wrong on that. 6.500 clics and all $0.01? Thats weird, even for a low paying niche its weird. Because you could get paid by impressions too.

That is usually a sign of low grade traffic, meaning that the traffic is deemed to have a low conversion rate on the advertiser's side. Or, you could be a victim of being tagged with "Google Smart Pricing" which automatically reduces your CPC to peanuts.

Here is the info on the subject:

You need to check and see which advertisers are being displayed on your site. You need to check and see where your traffic is coming from.

Are you using paid traffic? Is this traffic organic traffic from Google? Are you using Adsense Arbitrage? Are you using any bots, schemes or BH tactics to generate traffic/clicks/views?

I get VERY good CPC on my blogs. This is beause I create 52 pages on my wordpress!

For example:
cheap laptops NY
cheap laptops CA
cheap laptops NJ
ETC.

I get at least 10 - 15 a day directly to those pages!

my traffic is worldwide, must of them are from UK/US/CA/ and rest are from EU.
also thats not matter the traffic quality, if thats 6500 clicks, and just 100$, i can use adbrite and earn 5x more from it.....just from putting banners.

If you believe or think the traffic quality does not matter then may I advise you to pull out of Adsense RIGHT NOW! You are missing the point. Behind those ads on your site are real people who are paying to play. When a person clicks on their ad placed on your site, those advertisers want a percentage of those people clicking to convert into:

(a). Sales
(b). Legitimate email or telephone numbers
(c). Phone calls within x amount of time
(d). Surveys completed
(e). Applications completed
(f). Trial sign-ups completed
(g). Solid appointments set

If YOUR traffic is not converting, it is low quality traffic, plain and simple and no argument. Again, you can believe different but that is the Adsense system.

That said, you made it clear WHERE your traffic is coming from in terms of location but unless I misread you, you were not clear if this is genuine search engine traffic or some type of bot or system/scheme generated traffic.

the CPC can vary because of the niche. My lowest CPC it's 0.02 euro.

its a search engine, we put google custom search with adsense.....alot of search's and low payout...

As flx89 stated...

But here is the thing, if the traffic is genuine traffic and not converting on Adsense, you need to move it! Again, just repeating what Flx89, stated, some niches don't convert well in Adsense. Anything related to downloads, free this or that, lyrics and basically anything that caters directly to teenagers will net you Google Smart Pricing.

Is this "1" site or a number of sites? And what is the general niche?

its just one domain, and look if like 50k search's daily, think about it how many keywords passed to google, lets say: shops,stores, or whatever, thats must be high payout.......

Adsense for Search typically pays less than Adsense for Content. Also, you need to keep in mind the keywords your site is targeting.

You need to go login to Adwords and see what the CPC is for all of your targeted keywords.

since the start of december, i've seen my ecpm from longer term consistent mostly organic traffic pretty much halved across the board.

I got rid of google plus on my sites and it's most of the way back up to where it was - can't say for sure that's what was causing a lower ecpm, as I didn't do any proper split testing, however it's enough for me to keep it off my sites for the next while...

that being said, i saw a few eCPM $20 sites go down to 10, 10 down to 5, and 5 down to 2.50... if you're only bringing in $93 on 100k visitors a day, you're pretty far out there from normal to start...
