Why is it recommended to join adsense once you have high visitors?
Many people create a site,write some post(for the sake of writing)and then apply for adsense.Once they got approved they start to experiment with different ad placements,colors.,etc. so as to make more money.Thus creating content becomes the secondary task and you will start loosing your traffic.Gradually you get depressed with lower earnings.You will then go for other ad networks without creating good unique content.

Why is my CPC,CTR,etc. too low?
The main reasons for this is because you don't have enough traffic.The traffic source and the country will also be a factor of your CPC.

How can I increase my earnings?

• Keep on creating good&unique content

Under the Policy violations section on the home tab, you can quickly access important information including details on each violation, the issue ID and an example of the violation on your site. The page will also include details on the action you need to take to resolve the violation.

2. Click on the policy violation tab in the left pane.
   
3. If you have any policy violations you will see the alert there else you will see a similar message"You have no policy violations on record. Thank you!".
