Adsense pays more to US Publisher?

[KiShOrE]

Hello all,

I like to know few things,

I have a website about Telecom news. I have 2 ad unit of adsense. For say, when someone visit my site they get ad from vonage . com (no matter from what country the visitor is) and If anyone from anywhere in the world click on it I get 10 cents a click..

As, i'm not US publisher i'm getting 10 cents a click, BUT if i was US publisher will Google paid me more than 10 cents? or it doesn't matter from which country I'm from?

A little bit of clear explanation needed...

I'm a US publisher and hardly ever get 10 cents clicks. Latley more like 3 cents clicks on a good day. Where are you Yahoo?

Because ads are geotargeted, it will vary based upon the located of where the person lives. So theoretically, there could be 30 advertisers targeting a keyword to US based visitors which could drive it up to $3 per click. But there might be only 2 advertisers targeting visitors from New Zealand, meaning it could be worth only 5 or 10 cents a click. So *visitors* clicking ads from different countries can result in different EPC. However, where the actual publisher resides has no bearing on this equation. It is all dependent on the IP of the site visitors as to what ads they see and what they are worth.

Google pays the same to US and Non US publishers.

If you are getting 10 cents for each click in telecom news, consider it good.

no google pays more for US based clicks.
this is for sure

bewarse: it's not really about what google "pays" - like Jenstar explained, some advertisers don't want their ads to be shown to visitors outside the US which results in less competition => lower CPC.

With SSI, it would be possible to find out.

Make a set of AdSense code with different channels.

channel-name/us
channel-name/canada
channel-name/uk
channel-name/other

Depending from where the visitor comes, put per SSI one of the 4 codes into the page.

this is what i knew from someone inside adsense
"The values may for Google Adsense payout rates differ regionally"

local currency value is taken into consideration based on IP.

also its my personal experince

I think you guys are confusing two different items:

1) whether or not google pays us publishers more than non-us
2) whether us site traffic is valued differently than non-traffic.

the answer to 1 is that google pays the same. the answere is 2 is that google pays based in part by bid competition. for some keywords, the competition in the us is higher and thus pays higher for us traffic.

mike,

I guess u r right. but what >bewarse< saying is that, Google may pay less for NON-US publishers for the same adsense click.

I guess u r right. but what >bewarse< saying is that, Google may pay less for NON-US publishers for the same adsense click.

Yes, and Google may pay less when the tide is high, or when the moon is full, or when the barometic pressure is moving upward or downward. But without supporting evidence, such claims are nothing but unfounded (and possibly libelous) speculation.

So, whats the bottom line?

No matter from which country i'm from, i'll still get the same money for a click on my perticular ad as long as the ad shows to the whole world not only USA. Right?
