Hi don't you think 1 cent clicks are depressing? I think Google ought to disallow adwords users with 1 cent bids. Think about all the worries and stress it has caused adsensers counting pennies. I think people can go to a psychiatrist seeing 1 cent clicks on their reports everyday.
Its probably more then 1cent. Adsense though it is not fully transparent on their cut of the $. The click may costed the advertiser 5cents and you 1 cent. Plus there is Smart pricing to factor into this also, this sytem depresses the value of clicks becuase your traffic is bad for advertisers convesions. Google they lose money too with smart pricing. But your right 1 cent is bad. The min should be at least 5cents, in my opinion. There is a big difference from getting 20 clicks for $1, then 100 clicks for $1
I was advertising with adwords for a while and only getting charged one cent per click for certain high traffic/no competition keywords. My ROI on that campaign was huge. This was on google search only, no content clicks though. The only low earning clicks I get are from DP.
Its getting lower and lower for me since the the clickable area change. Move on, try something other if it makes you "depressed". There's plenty of other methods to monetize a site, depending on your niche i think you can always find something better than Google Adsense.
I launched my first ever site with adsense this week, and so far I've had 1 click (yes, 1) and it was worth $1.17. Seems like a lot, but I'd rather many less valuable clicks than one decent one! Got to learn a lot about site promotion methinks. Chin up!
adwords minimum bid is 5 cents which is for the lowest position on adwords. google pays us 1 cent per click because that niche doesn;t convert and we have been smartpriced more than likely. when we get paid 1 cent per click, that tells us that time to move to a different niche.
I've had my $1 clicks too but for the past few dyas just 1-2 cents click. How do I get my $1 click again?
I dont know how to explain this, but I receive 0,70-1$ clicks for week, then two-three weeks with crapy 0,1-0,2$ and then again week of 1$ clicks..
look again, its 1c http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=21374&query=1+cent&topic=&type=f&onClick= Pierce
