Checking my stats makes one realise the variation between the top and bottom performing sites. My best site's URL average in October had:

CTR 28.8% eCPM USD68.36

A pity it was only for a few hundred clicks nevertheless a few more sites like this and added togther they make a few thousand.

What's yours?

Are we allowed to talk about that? I thought we could only disclose overall earnings.

Hmmm...I thought we could take specifics like this but not show overall figures?

My best performing figure was gross revenue. Too bad I have to give so much back to adwords.

Best day in Oct. was $107, but only because of a click dump. The monthly avg. was far lower (lowest in all of 2005 in fact). :-(

Optirex,

You are indeed not allowed to mention your CTR.
But lets assume you mean something different.
Let assume you mean to ask what we would think if someone had a CTR of 28.8% within a range of a few hundred clicks. If that's the question I think the answer is "amazing".

I need an education in this ctr/cpm

Can someone please explain if this effects the cost per click you receive? If it indeed does make a difference I guess my question is this....

I have a lot of different channels I watch. Is each page considered independent and the costs received from that page based on that individual page ctr/cpm or is it based on your whole adsense account therefore other channels that receive a lot of views but not a lot of clicks penalize those pages that do have a high ctr?

I hope you know what I am asking.

October was pretty good for me, slightly higher CPM but slightly lower CTR, except for October 31...on the last day of the month, my CPM was 5x normal, as was my income....

Is that was Swebbie was referring to when he mentioned a 'click-dump'?

Sailor :

So, you're doing adwords-to-adsense? So, I am.
Could I ask?
How much do you invest in adwords? How well is your ROI with aw vs as?

Oh!

Therefore if the question were what would you think of maybe several sites with their URL channels for the entire month averaging 12.1% thru to 28.8%, then these would be considered to be good CTRs? I have seen others state higher...

Bear in mind these kind of CTRs do not generate thousands of clicks at the moment, some are closing in on a thousand with good, well I think good, eCPMs, then you would assume I'm on the right track with my site diversification away from the mega core sites?

For example, the mega core sites average 3.6-4.6%.

I've been doing this for several months now and I'm trying to get a feel as to whether to expect a fall of some kind or whether to keep pushing in this direction? Yeah...try and stop me:-)

I haven't read about anyone else attempting this and wondered what other's results are and reactions would be.

What you must remember is that in the US they don't have the same degree of data protection as in the UK. Mr Tabke and Ms Jenstar have an arrangement with ASA to provide the contact details of anyone who discloses CTR, eCPM etc.. It's only a matter of time before they catch up with you and pull the plug on your accounts. This is going to scupper your plans to emigrate. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Thanks for the heads-up...I've just checked out the extradition treaties between my new abode and the rest of the world and apparently they don't have any whatsoever...I guess that's the benefit of buying one's own planet...the only drawback with all of this is that BT have said it's not close enough for a broadband connection which means me having to use a satellite connection.

Now I don't have a problem with that however will the US government pay me a good rental fee if I launch my own or do you reckon they'll let me piggy-back one of theirs for a nominal charge?

This does have the downside that they'll then know which my niche trade is...and my Adsense account details...time to re-consider all of this methinks.

They tell me the Cape Verde Islands are quite nice...any advice anyone?

Gran Canaria is available from my local airport though which means I could pop back to the UK easily to see how everyone's suffering under the Blair dynasty:-)

Ooops...that was careless, lost another minister...they didn't see that one coming did they? :-))
