Page eCPM at $0.00 for 8000 impressions

    As the title says, I got about 8000 impressions yesterday but when I went to my stats it says, earnings: $0.00, Page eCPM: $0.00

    Is this normal?? I would think that there should be at least some Page eCPM with some earnings from the impressions?

    Help, whats going on?

    Its normal. Change your niche ;)

    Or at least I have a page with 4k impressions and nothing to show for it.

    Not a single click from 8k impressions?
    Are you not showing PSA's by any chance?

    I am not doing this to make money (primarily) like it isnt a MFA site or anything. It is a personal interest site, so yeah. I just didnt know why I had no earnings from so many impressions. But what I have concluded from my stats is that you dont get any eCPM from having no clicks. I am probably wrong, but thats what I have concluded.

    Nope they are all proper google adsense ads, not PSA's @ shenron

    Then that's why your page eCPM is at $0. No clicks = no eCPM.

    That's why it means: effective cost-per-thousand impressions :p

    As I said earlier, I have a channel with thousands of impressions and no earnings, but I also have another that has around a dollar from impressions alone.

    It really falls down to Niche and page Content to know whether or not a page will make money from impressions. I get a fair clickless eCPM from Digital Point and my few SEO type pages, but my jokes and lolcats page earn a huge $0.00 on average.

    edit: note, while money can be made though impressions, impressions is NOT something that should be aimed for.
    clicks = dollars
    impressions = pennies
