I had 16M pageviews in 2015 and a hell of a lot less adsense earnings than you :( What's your CPM?

16M ! That's amazing ! Can I ask you what is your page about ?
https://rebrickable.com - A LEGO database that shows you which sets you can build from your existing collection, also includes thousands of fan-submitted designs.

My adsense earnings are terrible though, I've always assumed because the site is more image heavy than text.

What's your CPM? I average around $1, and that's just for a simple webgame (almost no text).
$0.20 to $0.30 :(
Assuming a %1 click rate (seems to be the rate on my site), that's still $48k (optimistic); not bad!
I don't show ads for every page view (only unregistered users), and click rate is more like 0.1%. Now I feel like I'm doing something very wrong... advice welcome!
I love your site, I've been all the day around !
AdSense RPM, which I assume is the same as CPM, was $4 for 2015 and for about 6 months in 2013 it jumped up to $12. Would be very nice if that happened again.
