Ok i just launched my latest website www.speew.com 2 days ago. I`ve thrown in some google ads and thought to get some traffic. I said to my self it is a good occasion to use google adwords for the first time. I selected all the keywords google recommended (that were also relevant to my site...for example i choose "arcade games", "but not old arcades for sale" :P) and made my preferred bid at $0.10. I made my daily budget at $10 (i just wanted a test drive), and deposited 20 bucks (I was a bit angry because of the $5 activation cost but nevermind). Ok at the end of the day everything looked perfect:
I had 220 uniques and about 240 visits
About 94 clicks from google (so all my budget was exhausted)
The others coming from some place else (probably stumble and other forums or search engines).

The problem is that it was not as good as it sounds. Even though adwords should give me targeted visitors at the end of the day i had only 4 new members 2 of which were people i personally knew...
60% of the visits were less than 30 seconds
My CTR was 1.86% and revenue $1.08 (lol i think gaming related keywords are the lowest paying)
Today the situation is getting worse:
Traffic dropped because my adwords funds are exhausted (and i won`t fund my account again unless i know 99% the traffic will be worth something)
I got like only 40 uniques today (and awstats says it 02 pm...)
Even though i have one click at a CTR of 1.54% revenue is $0.00
Still mosts visits are between 0-30s
Any suggestions to increase quality traffic and revenue are highly apprecited. I pay NP members to registeron my site and post coments , stumble it , del.icio.us it and nothing seems to work.
I know my site is 2 days old, but still getting 4 members (actually 2, because the other 2 were reffered by me) out of 220 visitors...and $1.08 revenue...
Oh and i will also donate 200NP$ to ANYONE who helps me with a really good solution (preferably a free and fast solution) to get this fixed

The gaming section is indeed one that will pay too low in AdSense. You know sometimes to need a whole study to select your keywords with Adwords carefully or you will just gain nothing from the campaign. :/

Yes, i know it`s low paying, but it would be helpful if i get some actual clicks...i didn`t build my site for adsense...i built it for users...but i can`t get this users :(

hell-knight. Try these might work for you

-Link to your site in sig. and be active on a related forum like Games forum
-Stumbleupon, Technorati, and other social bookmarks. It costs nothing, but actually you'll get unique visits.
-It appears that adsense won't work for you. Buy cheap text links in traffic website to get traffic back to your site.

It seems the situation is getting better with visitors, got 120 today (about half as on 16th december but twice as yesterday and my earnings today are $0.98)

You should focus more on content-side and clicks will come naturally. Remember traffic trends are usually upwards, you just need to give it time according to your site and the competition of your niche.

Yes stumbling works for quick traffic, and they will bookmark your site if it is really good. Remember to check how many people bookmarked your site(added to fav estimates) I think this gives an overall idea of people liking of your site

Patientce is needed. You will need to keep working for 3 months before you come to conclusion - if it is going good or not.

Well, why don't you put some affiliate banners on your website but only adsense? I think some gaming related affiliate banners will work better on your website.

Any recommendations for a good gaming site with affiliate program?
I really want to monetize the 200 uniques i get every day so i`m willing to do anything
