advertiser will pay for the clicks generated on ads displayed on your blog.

given

♦ The most important aspect of increasing your AdSense CPC is the
traffic. A click from developed countries like U.S., U.K., or Canada
will pay 3-4times per click than any click generated from India or
Pakistan. So, improve your traffic. Target audience of these countries
and you will have higher AdSense CPC.
♦ The second thing is Niche. AdSense is a contextual ad serving program
and it will in most cases show ads related to the content of your blog.
Blogs with "domains and hosting,
cars and insurance, photography, Google products, Microsoft news and updates, banking sector" attract higher AdSense CPC.
♦ Next thing for higher AdSense CPC is your ad placements. If you have
put 3 ads in your blog, the one that appears first in your blog's html
body will have the ads with highest CPC. So, you must place it where it
is visible, above the fold.
♦ Usually, the
text ads have
higher Cost Per Click than image ads. Hence, restricting the type of ads
only to text is a good way on increasing AdSense CPC. This may not be
true in all cases but generally text ads will earn you more revenue.
♦ Ad Size also plays an important role in increasing your AdSense CPC.
If you select a more general ad format, there is likely to be more
competition in that segment, and Google will display the highest paying
ads competing for your blog.
Although, you can't really control the AdSense CPC, but you can increase to certain extent by following these steps.
