What is a reasonable goal in terms of traffic for my Flex 3 site: www.brainpinata.com

Since I began a couple of months ago, I've gotten roughly 5500 ad views and 280 ad clicks. And the ad revenue is a whopping $4.80. (I don't use Google Adsense).

I advertise my site using Google Adwords to try to build traffic. My budget is $10/day.

What should I do?

a) Push the marketing. Add a blog. Try to get backlinks, contact blogs, start a Facebook page, tweet, etc.

b) Google is only indexing the static content in the SWF. The questions/answers are pulled from a mySQL database. So, Google doesn't index 99% of the content. Should I re-do the site in HTML/Javascript and hard-code the questions for each puzzle? (This would be a challenge as I don't know javascript worth squat.) Or should I hard-code the questions in XML and put them in the Flex app? If I put the questions in an XML file it's roughly 500 KB. Other ideas?

c) Should I switch ad networks? (I currently get about 100 visitors a day). My ad network pays so little that if I were to make even $500/month, I would need 550,000 ad views/month, which seems impossible.

If I go ahead and switch ad networks, I need to find one that allows iFrames as I've got a Flex website. Which ad networks permit their ads to be shown in iFrames?

d) Should I cut and run? I put a lot of work into this project and it would really stink to get nothing out of it.

I'm looking for some good advice. Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thank you.
