Increase pageviews, CTR and CPC.
Revenue = Pageviews * CTR * CPC. It is the basic formula in Google AdSense. You need to have high values for pageviews, CTR, and CPC, or it wouldn't work well. You won't earn much if you don't have a high number of pageviews, CTR, and CPC.
Pageviews are the most important element in Google AdSense. Without pageviews, there's no one to click on your ads. If your site has very low unique visitors/page views, you might need to focus on getting high enough pageviews before spending time optimizing the ads on your website.
CTR or clickthrough rate is the number of clicks your ads receive vs. the number of times the ads are displayed. By this, it means that not everyone visiting your sites clicks on the ads you serve. There are many ways to optimize your sites to get higher CTR.
CPC (cost-per-click) is the amount you get paid for every ad clicked by your visitors. The amount can be as little as $0.01, or more than $10. While this is determined by the amount advertisers bid on Google AdWords programs, there are ways to help you get the ads with high CPC served on your sites.
