Keyword questions

[Mike-J]

Hi All

My name is mike, after some reading on this great forum i post my first thread:


Being a total newbie, i try to monetize a domain with namedrive.

i use a high paying keyword (according to the Adwords keyword tool),
get a 20% CTR and receive 0.11$ per click.

i'm wondering why i don't receive more than 0.11$ while advertisers pay
3$ for this keyword... i 've read somewhere, that when there are not
enough advertisements booked, generic ads will show up (which in fact
happens 3 of 4 times i load my site).

how do you handle this? is there any tool that shows the advertisements
volume and not just the average price?

thanks a lot for a quick hint!

all the best

Mike
