1 Click = 1 Cent

[rannans]

your not seeing things

im in Oz, and my day just started, in adsense times

i see on one of my ad placements

1 Click = 1 Cent

how the hell is an ad showing up with this kind of return ?

i suppose 1c is , well, 1c, but #*$!e, that is degrading - does google take 1/2 a cent for that ?

after 7 years with adsense, i'de expect a little better performing ads that that crap

cheers

I get them too. I wish there was a way of not having adverts under x amount.

Everyone gets a few of those, some more than others, and if you have image ads enabled that could be the CPM cost for displaying a single banner impression.

There's lots of penny clicks (and less) I have campaigns in AdWords that I'm only bidding a few cents for. They add up. Or you can work on your audience and your content to see if you can bring in better paying advertisers.

I often see that kind of value in the first few hours of my AdSense day i.e. new Google day from midnight onwards.

I never take any notice of them since I know New Zealanders, Ozzies, Japanese and Chinese pay nothing for advertising...:-)...joking, I'm only joking:-)

Yep, it's nonsensical, Stupid Pricing (TM) is precisely that, whomesoever thought it up was only looking outside the plex at their blinkered view of the world gazing at the daisies, no wonder China is now the #2 economy.

As far I know, minimum Adwords rate is 4 cent and according to Adsense our revenue share is 68%.
It means that our minimum click rate should be 2,5 cent, but how comes to 1 cent CPC?

By the way , I am gettin a lot of 1 cent click too:-)

I don't know where you got your information, but it is incorrect.

[Chrispcritters]

AdWords does not have a .04 CPC minimum. I've been running search/content ads for 0.01 for at least the last year.

I don't know where you got your information, but it is incorrect.

It's found under "my account" in the old interface. (not looked for it in the new one)

AdSense for Content: ca-pub-000000000000 68 % publisher revenue share
AdSense for Search: partner-pub-000000000000 51 % publisher revenue share

[netmeg]

Sorry, LW, I was unclear. The AdWords .04 minimum is what I meant was incorrect.

[Lame_Wolf]

No worries, netmeg. All is clear now :)

For about 1 year, I wanted to make adwords advertising in Euro, and it gave me an alert every time I wanted to set my ads under 4 Eurocent something like "your ad can not be shown under 4 cent".
I don't remember the exact message, but this is because why I said 4 cent.
By the way, it was for content, and NOT for search.
But I can remember that at webmasterworld one said the same months ago.

nick28 that's just a warning "your ads might not show for under .04", but you ads will show just a small amount of impressions.

I been running what I call "Penny Campaign" for years. one Ad group with over 200 keywords, 5 ads, and every keyword bid at $.01 spending about $10.00 a month "1,000 visitors clicks a month".
works great for me.

I also bid higher using other campaigns.
