Either AdSense was missing from the majority of the pages, or traffic volumes increased significantly. You brought up four factors which affect earnings: - Traffic Levels - Traffic Type - CTR - RPC For anyone starting off, traffic levels are by far the most important factor. Before you really need to get into any sort of optimizing or tweaking, you need enough people. To get this traffic, you need to focus on SEO and other techniques to get people to your site. Traffic type is very important, and can be played in two ways. You are right that one-time casual visitors are more likely to click on your ads and gain you money in the short term. But dedicated, regular readers can contribute by linking to your good posts, and thus getting you even more PageRank and traffic. Once you have a decent level of traffic, or are making past $10/day in AdSense revenue, it is definitely the time to start testing and optimizing. YieldBuild sounds like a good program, but also following tried and true methods can almost instantaneously show positive impact. Finally, in regards to the issue of RPC, it is definitely true that each niche will have its own advertiser marketplace, and generate varying amount of competition and payouts. Not only does RPC change, but the types of readers reading posts on different topics have different tendencies to click on ads. It is definitely possible to try to monitor these markets, and gradually shift your content towards a profitable sector, but make sure that you are knowledgeable about that sector, and can continue to have premium articles that will get interest.
