How to find payment per click?

[myrrh]

I've seen people on this forum talk about their getting .05 a click, .01 a click, etc. How does one find out how much a particular click brought in?

wait for a full moon then do a little dancing.

no real way to find these cheap paying ads, sometime you know when you only have a 1 click on a channel. once you get many clicks its difficult to tell..

google won't tell us this because they know if we find who the cheap advertisers are, we'll block them.

earnings divided by clicks = price per click

The best way to find out is to join AdWords, then search for the keywords related to your widget, and try to figure out which ones are giving you the lowest CPC. I did that this week and found out that some keywords I thought were cool were actually only getting me 3c or 7c, but another group of keywords I hadn't considered all that much were going for 17c up to 85c on average. I'm very happy with the results after tweaking my keywords in the META tag and mentioning them more in the content...

if your average day earnings are lets say 100$ and your average clicks are lets say 500
just type in Google search
10000/500
there your are 20 cents per click
