Today I have had the most horrific experience ! A Korean click got .02 CPC. I mean earning from eCPM banner ads are much higher daily. Is adsense going nonsense. my sites average cpc is about between .25 and .35, and look. Looking to find out the keyword and planning to ban it. Would that be fine?
Omy GOD. Then I am Lucky I guess. We all wnkow that. I do have 18% of My Visitors from uk and canada and about 20% from europe, but you can not add demographic filter right? Knowledge is for everybody. I think I got to have little knowledge on AdWord keywords that are paying low and act accordingly.
And Koreans companies like Samsung and Hundai are giving nightmeres to their competitors all round the world....
Looking to find out the keyword and planning to ban it with the competitive ad filter would be a waste of time in my opinion. This blocking filter has been done for other purpose than trying to find low paying ads and blocking them. It has been done to block one's direct competitors from displaying their ads on their sites via adsense. I still have 0 ads blocked in my competitive ad filter, anybody can come and is welcomed to get clicked even for $0.01!
OMG! James, Thanks for the reply. Every single day that I spend here in motivates me to learn hell out of the web and build strong AdSense alternative. And still they cry that clicks are not getting converted well? Tell me isn't adsense is acting more like affiliate now a days? If a cpc program checks and bans account on the basis of not converting enough, dont you think that it is better to sale one affiliate product in a month rather than hammer your head hard for those .01 clicks???
Affiliates certainly seems to be where the biggest earnings can be done. I'm not using them much at all simply because of lazyness due to not being banned from adsense.
Doesn't matter how much of % is from UK or Canada, because it can be that most of the people from better paying locations could be using adblocks, because i noticed that more likely USA people are using this crap, because they are too scared of some ads.
AdBlocks dont work with chrome, which has out shined firefox. and this was the exact reason google had put such an effort in chrome.......... another monopoly coming your way
