I find that the more niche the blog/web page the better the targeted ads are, and the more chance of people clicking on them. I have some more generised web pages that get just as many hits, but generate no revenue at all. I'd like to know if those "general topic" bloggers who have regular audiences of 1 million + people make more than I do with my niche blog and a lowly few thousand viewers. Dave.
