Okay, WTF!

Okay, my website earnings are:
1,933 Page Views
73 Clicks (Wow)
$4.73 in Earnings (WTF)

Yet my YouTube adsense earnings are:
857 Page Views
3 Clicks (Yeah Small)
$2.07 in Earnings (YEAH WTF How?)

Can you tell me why my website, which has 73 clicks, only made $5 yet my YouTube channel made have that much with only 3 clicks? Could it be the ad sizes I use?

Different clicks are worth different amounts. I suggest learning the basics of AdSense.

I know that, but why is the difference so huge?

Different advertisers offer different amounts in their AdWords campaigns. Some clicks can be worth 1 cent, some worth $10+. To put it in basic logic, Google attempts to place the most relevant ads first, and then the highest paying.

So ad size doesnt have much of an effect right? Cause I was about to go theme hunting

Also you might want to look at your traffic sources. Some are better than others. Personally I have many different traffic sources. I have one that has a 98% bounce rate with a .1% conversion while another has 22% bounce rate and a 9% conversion rate.

All in the traffic. Youtube is better traffic, for YOU, and I would focus on using that to your advantage!

What about your niche on your website. if its shit you get shit pay and if the countries clicking are some off the ends countries will be shit again like 0.02 shit

Ah so I chose a gaming website. That's probably why

I get steady US traffic, so it's not the shit traffic.

I guess I will have to deal with the shit pay while trying to get more traffic and articles. Every article I make gets me another $0.50 a day

Look at which keywords adds your pulling up and check the CPC with your adsense account.

So more YouTube videos? Damn it! I chose a gaming niche, and I made a website so I can make more money to buy a gaming PC to make better YouTube videos. Hmm... I guess I need to make more website articles

I only have 8.

Hey..

I though you consistently had to post big page views to be accepted into the youtube revenue sharing program? Anyone can put adsense in videos now? Since when?

Nope, It's just that I don't make trash and spammy videos. Originally, my YouTube account was just for making fun videos for quick laughs and entertainment, but I got an email for Revenue Sharing. I guess it's about quality and not quantity.

Okay, WTF!
