impressions Clicks CTR eCPM Earnings

12 15 125.0% $329.26 $3.95
28 11 39.3% $119.70 $3.35

The First Row is the new one from today and the

Earnings are to low to ctr of 125% end eCPM of 329$

Look at the secont row its almost the same earnings but with lower ctr and eCpm.

It take over all my channels!

There is no way to tell why you earned .60 cents less, ever.

Especially when you're looking at channels with an average of 20 impressions. It could be a million and one things, including the weather. You need 100-1000 times that amount of traffic just to barely begin to see what may or may not be broken.

Secondly, posting this information publicly is against google tos, I would stick to only telling monthly earnings.

It looks like someone besides yourself is accessing your site and isn't clicking, thus driving your CTR below 100%.

There is something quite wrong with your stats Ronbl. I suspect you will not get paid anything as it really looks like you are trying to steal.

Prove us wrong though.

Because from what it looks like you are getting $10-20 clicks with a click through rate of over 100%. This is not normal at all for a publisher following the TOS 100%. Prove me wrong, sticky me your URL and I will check it out.

ganderla, you looked at his eCPM column, not his earnings column. His actual EPC is around 30 cents.

But ronbl, you really should not draw any conclusions from this change. You would need MANY more impressions for it to be possible to draw any conclusions. What you are seeing is normal fluctuation.

Though it IS a strangely high CTR. Are there exits from that page other than through ads?

No, the ads are the exits.

I'm surprised that you haven't disabled the user's back button, too. (Or maybe you have.)

Booooooooo.

If SmartPricing was really "smart" - you would not be making anything at all, and hopefully Google is wise to your antics and will return the advertisers their stolen money.

You are in violation of Google's Terms of Services in case you were not aware.
