For example...
- On my new unindexed site, 2 clicks might be worth somewhere between 1 cent and 7 cents.
- On my old indexed site, 2 clikc would be worth somewhere around $2.
I know that certain ads are worth alot more, but these earnings are terrible.
So my question is: Are your clicks worth more if your site is indexed. I would figure that if your site is indexed the ads would be more targeted and hence, worth more.
you should think about your website, content, information, visits, ... and after think about Adsense.
So theoretically if google takes half, I should be getting 15-25 cents if ads using those keywords are placed on my site. But since my site isn't indexed yet, any ads placed on my site my be de-valued.
I am using adwords for this site as well, so I know most of the keywords that I request are costing around 30-50 cents per click. So theoretically if google takes half, I should be getting 15-25 cents if ads using those keywords are placed on my site.
That is not how it works. Google does not take 50% but more like 25%. However, that doesn't mean you are likely to get 75% of the maximum bid of 30-50 cents per click. It's a bit more complicated. If your site converts, iow if clicks at your site lead to sales for advertisers, then you might get 75% of the maximum bid. If your site is not such a good converter you might get, well, anything down to 1 cent per click. So it all comes down to making quality content that will turn clickers into buyers.
Is there a page that describes in detail where the money goes? Google seems to obfuscate some of this... seems fishy to me. :)
