If you chose Image Ad, do you get paid by CPM,

[asianguy]

or by the click? When i logged in, I couldnt find the CPM link in my account. Did google remove the CPM because nobody have used it, or this is the the one that says choose IMAGE AD ONLY that we are seeing right next to the TEXT ONLY AD when you choose your ad unit?

For all we know, when you select which Ad Unit..there is an option to choose Texts Only, or Image Ad Only.

How do we exactly make money from this image ad? is it by impressions or by clicks because I never used image ads before.

I'd like to know because i am updating and refreshing all my pages so many times a day. I have a huge site that needs updates all the time, and i dont want to shoot up my impression because i put image ads in all these pages.

Thanks.

You can't actually opt-in or opt-out of CPM ads now. The only way to avoid CPM ads at the moment is too use adblock sizes that don't show CPM ads.

It's the same with image and text ads.

Is the CPM paying thing already working?
I see my adsense panel identical as it has always been!

CPM is not yet working. It's still being tested. Relax. Wait to hear.

Ken, is that correct?

Can't I just select "text only"?

As far as I know CPM is still in beta testing. So, as I undestand that, it's possible that you could already be seeing ads from the beta test sites showing up.

But CPM ads come in both image and "extended text" formats.

Selecting text only on the adsense control panel would still mean you could end up with the "extended text" ads. Extended text ads look like the PSA ads where there is only one ad per block.
