Any Way to Guess Click Value of Site?

I have a leaderboard on top of my site that gets most of it's clicks. They are usually in the $0.06-0.15 range, but some are below 5 cents. Is there any way to guess whether a site pays small amounts based on it's content? Are the sites that seem primarily set up as quick-money/scam sites more likely to pay small amounts?

Next question, how much do the CTR's and CPC's differ between images and text? I hear that images have lower CPC's but higher CTR's. Would a text leaderboard still get a lot of clicks (and higher CPC)?

 

there is no way to measure click rate of adsense

You can guess that highly made professional sites with a company name would pay more than a quickly made site selling ebooks

 

you can use adsblacklist.com t find low paying ads.

txt or images ads will give you which depents on your site category

 

Text ads are higher paying than image ads IMO.

i filtered out 200 MFA sites, but still getting 2 cents per click.. which is bad

google shud allow to filter more than 200 sites

 

Thanks for this but site looks awful on Firefox

 

I am correct in understanding that if you have a lot of visitors to your site that don't click on your ads, and only a few do you will make more money then a site where everyone that visited your site clicked on ads.

 

I have joined it but don't know how it works.

Thanks alot.

 

Doesn't an image ad take up the entire block meaning its bid had to beat multiple text ads?

 

from my experience I noticed text ads gets low CTR but high bid
while image ads get many clicks but low bid

 

And Google's formulas are supposed to factor these in so the highest revenue ads show, right?

 

Not sure about the cost of an image vs a text link but to get back on topic, to my knowledge there is no way to predetermine exactly how much per click a site will get.

However you can pretty much guess - high CPC industries (medical / doctors / law)

low - (myspace / proxies)

Anything else will be in teh middle somewhere (about 5-25c / click)

Its very difficult to determine exact value of click. For example, people taht have sites on cars generally tend to expect pretty big click, but often they only get below 10 cents a click.

 

i tried using images one time and got awful ctr and awful cpc. as soon as visitors see it they skip it b/c they no its an ad
