Setting up a new site that CPC is $64... Visitors Already

So last week I did some research and purchased a domain name that is receiving 9-10k local searches a month with very low competition (1%).

Only reason I purchased the domain is because it involves finances and banks which there is tons of material I can write about for the site.

Anyway I did a little more research and found that #3 on page 1 only has 50-60 back links while the rest #4-10 have 0-10 so I possibly can jump up since I have keyword in domain.

Well now I have finally set up a site and took a look at my analytics and the site has received 33 unique hits with no promotion...

Google is telling me the CPC is around $64 so I was wondering if someone clicked my Adsense what type of earnings on 1 click "could" I receive since that is pretty high.

*NOTE* Also receiving some spam emails about web development of the site so those could be part of the unique hits but no email on the site so I am guessing who.is since my information is not private "yet".

You will get about $5 a click (srs)

it really doesnt matters... bcoz what users have search previously in google, ads related to that only will show in your site regardless of your sites niche.

You can turn that off. Just turn off "Interest Based Ads".

There's no way to accurately calculate how much you will get per click. To find out, add Adsense codes to your site and wait for some clicks to trickle in.

Just ask someone to click on an ad and you'll see how much you're getting. I doubt you'll suffer consequences from a single click.

I didn't know you could do that. Is it better to turn it off?

In my split tests, no. And they should only ever show the highest bidding ads so if a gaming ad is showing instead of a payday loans one then by rights the gaming ad in that scenario should pay higher. Not sure if it actually works that way though... But that's their claim.

And my $90 CPC niches get around $5 a click when I get buddies in the States (I'm British) to click the ad and stay on that page for some time then click Add To Cart or w.e. Maybe being page one helps but it's very difficult to say.

It will greatly decrease your CTR, it's best to run few tests yourself and see if it's worth it for you.
