Google's Adsense Advert Reveals Potential Earnings

For anyone who wants to know how much adsense can earn.

About 3/4 of the way through this tour of adsense it shows a sample adsense report. The earnings column seems about right but the click-thru and page impressions columns seem very low in comparison. I know there are some niches which can earn .45c per click but surely they wouldn't be the norm?

I run two accounts (with permission from Google)

One has many thousand of pages and gets a very low click through with very low CPM.

The other, which targets a different market sector gets less than fortieth the traffic, but earns 20% more money in total,

It really does depend on the market sector.

What a heap of bollocks that advert is. For one, anyone getting 80 bucks a day from 5,000 PI would be banned faster than you can say "Google don't tell you why".

Very "American" advert. Found it hilariously mushy and false.

I disagree. For a site with the right topic and audience, revenue of US $80 per 5,000 impressions wouldn't be out of line.

You're right, not the norm for us. It's to low.

I agree with you EFV. For a site with the right topic and audience, revenue of US $80 per 5,000 impressions isn't at all out of line.

I noticed the same thing. I assumed they just used a high paying example. After all it is an ad to get people interested in adsense.

I'd be interested in hearing if some of you here really do get that high a return on impressions.

There are several topics that will earn you several x more then that per 5,000 impressions.

[Jebus]

I agree with markus007, you just need to chose the right topics.

:::I know there are some niches which can earn .45c per click

Web Hosting
Viagra
Medical
Law

[pcgamez]

so on this topic, what would you guess to be the LOWEST paying markets?

books?
music?
videos?

[Jebus]

anyone can check to see what people pay for adwords by visiting the adwords page and click on "click here to begin" You can then use this information to get a general idea of what to expect from adsense

For example, according to Adwords

keyword, cpc

books $0.91
music $0.67
videos $1.04
Law $1.34
Medical$2.23
Viagra $5.16
Web Hosting $11.36

There are people who are earning over $100 per day with about 500 page views (yes, five hundred). Many people receive a 10%, 20% and even 30% click through. I am nearly getting sick and tired of people who don't earn anything being so darn skeptical. I even know of some who have earned between $5-$15 per click in the early days. I believe it still happens now, I just don't have first hand proof. But I do believe...

>I'd be interested in hearing if some of you here really do get that high a return on impressions.

Yup. I don't get as much traffic as the person in the ad does, but my CTR is higher. I average about $30 per 1k impressions.

Jebus

it would be nice if the earnings per click for one of those categories was anywhere near those levels.

[Jebus]

true, but at least you can see you will get a higher $/click for web hosting then for music

[pcgamez]

maybe I should ad books about viagra and web hosting :)

[Mario]

I guess its okay to promote the *potential* of the program but I still think the majority of sites would fall far short of it.

Nevertheless its still far and away the best source of income for the rest of us non-sleazy publishers. ;-)

[pcgamez]

Sometimes Google IS the best source of income to not be considered sleezy....

[Teshka]

Come on guys, you don't have to have information on "sleazy" stuff to make good money with Adsense. I provide my visitors with articles on something that is interesting to me and also is about products that sell for $5,000 so of course bids will be higher than on a product that sells for twenty bucks.

I'm dubious about that coffee site in the Google spiel getting 45/c average though, heh.

[cornwall]

I guess you do not want to believe all you read in Google Ads. Out of interest I looked up the coffee web site featured, to see what they were doing.

According to fount of all wisdom:-

"Sorry, no information is available for the URL www.nicolabrennancoffee.com" ;)

Having said that Google do not actually say that this is the web site with the earnings figures given, which look to me quite reasonable

[europeforvisitors]

The coffee site is obviously a demo site, so the numbers don't have to be accurate--they merely need to be within the realm of possibility. (The presentation isn't about numbers; it's intended to demonstrate the AdSense concept and the mechanics of the program.)

[georgiek50]

Wow, I love this forum. I had been bummed out for the past couple of weeks thinking that Adsense would only pay off if I had about 500,000 impressions a day. Reading through this I realize that there is a lot of potential in this program if you "do your homework".

I am trying to find out the CPC on different subject matters according to a post in this thread but can't seem to get there. Can someone offer a little more assistance please?

[dhaliwal]

Well its only the hot topics that everyone is looking for.
ealrier i has something on my mind that beauty and cosmetics would earn more, but to my surprize they only fetch around 10 cents to 50 cents

lol and i had been making more than 2000 pages on beauty and skincare.

now as i did some hard work, i have found a few areas that can ern more, one is technology, other is medical, and other is web hosting cause lot of ppl are paying more than $ 5 for ads to be in top slot.

well i would appreciate if people could share their secrets about the keywords that fetch the most.
but i think no one would like to share his chunk of dollars with me.

lol, lets hope everyone finds better cpc and advertisers are also happy with adsense.

have a great time.

My biggest problem has been Google itself. I have the content, but Google's spiders have serious problems crawling it. Now if only Yahoo had a program like it, I would leave them in a heartbeet.
