Higher payout rates?

Payout

[Wezoin]

Hey,
I'm new to Google Adsense, and was wondering what the kind of range per click is on value? I commonly hear on TV about these $80 ads that google puts on your pages, and yet yesterday I had 24 clicks, which displayed earnings of $2. And is a value per thousand impressions of $9 about average?

Click values are all over the map, though I have to say I've never seen an $80 ad, or even anything close to that. By the way, you shouldn't post specific information about your clicks and such, or risk being banned by AdSense. They only allow discussion of overall earnings.

But to get to your question: people who post here seem to average anywhere from a few cents per click to considerably more. You're at the lower end of the range, but not at the bottom. Same thing for your CPM.

Browse through the threads for suggestions on optimizing your ad placements, colors, etc. You can almost certainly improve...

Good luck!

Hi Wezoin,

There may well be $80 ads out there, but trust me, those sort of ads are not worth chasing after, even if they did exist. Concentrate on offering your visitors quality content in a niche that you are an expert in, and even if you attract a low value ad, in a year's time you could be making good money from the AdSense programme.

If you're in for the long-haul, you'll benefit. If you want easy cash, trust me, it doesn't happen.

$9 CPM in my opinion is slightly higher than average, but hey, what do I know? ;)

When you guys talking bout $9 CPM, do u mean $9 CPM by page data or individual ad unit? If it is individual ad unit, it is very high. If you sort by page data, it is also considered as high for me as i only get like $5 cpm

Agreed. I've been in it since January 04, and January 05's earnigns were twelve times the same period previous year.

Either/or. It is against the TOS to mention specifics here. I would regard my eCPM figure as the one for the entire site. Reason being that some pages have sky high eCPM but low clicks/earnings, and some have good earnings, high clicks but lower eCPM. Therefore an average for the site is the better overall indicator for me.

Geez, if I could get a $9 CPM on my site I'd be buying a new car every month. Alas, with lots of traffic on a niche subject comes comparitively very little earnings per impression.

Ok, thanks for the info guys. I wasn't planning on changing my content or anything depending on what you said, but found it kind of alarming of such low payout when I'd seen alot higher payouts shown on TV.
