umm ... getting 3M impressions a day
.. getting an everage cost per click of $1.50
... and a click through rate of say 15%
umm, sounds interesting, now i'm getting excited to do the math to see how much i'll then earn per month ...
[1 minute later after fidling with the calculater in windows]
ta taaa .. wow! $2 million/month :D
seems the traffic part in particular was a bit too high :)
/\ oweh, who woke me up, now i'm back to my $2/day reality *sobs*
Who would like to give his daydream here about AdSense? (Tip: try keep numbers more realistic so that you won't be shocked with a massive discrepancy between your earnings and those of the drea as hapenned to me above.)
CTR is provided only for the publishers benefit, correct? To determine which pages/sites perform best, correct?
I'm trying to make sure CTR doesn't have any bearing on how much money I receive per click. Because a few people have suggested that G somehow looks at how well one site does over another, and rewards that site with more money per click despite the same text links appearing in both places. Just curious.
sheeesh...
dream on your own time
I'm not looking to be a millionare from AdSense. My ultimate goal, if possible, is to earn enough over the next few years that I can get into a nice house, and completely pay it off.
AdSense is not something that I'd trust to be my primary source of income, so I plan on buying as much outright as possible. (AdSense is currently working on paying off my car)
Simple? Perhaps. But I like to dream quasi-realistically.
That said, it has been noticed that as your CTR increases, so does your earnings per click. This phenomenon has been noticed so much that it is confirmed by repeatedly being mentioned. I've seen it happen to me myself. As for the reason why this happens, and why is there a relation between the CTR and price of a click, it's not because G decides to go reward those having higher CTR with more money, but rather the phenomenon takes place naturally as the result of how the bidding system works. Go try figure it out yourself, I've explained in an earlier post why this phenomenon takes place and how it follows logically from the way bidding is done for AdWords advertisers.
The reason why you get a higher pay per click for your ads when the CTR increases is not that the same ad gets higher value, but it is because by having a higher CTR, you simply get the higher paying ads (i.e. adds that are DIFFERENT from the ones that were on your page before, more valuable ones). This follows directly from the way bidding is done for AdWords advertisers.
