Your CPC is terrible, but this is to be expected given the market that you have entered. After all, how much could advertisers possibly be making through a website that provides wallpapers? On similar grounds, given the traffic, my website has terrible earnings; this is to be expected within our respective industries if we think rationally. Sure, this is far below the amount that AdWords charges its advertisers per click, but then again you can't expect all your clicks to be valid (warranting payment). There are bound to be invalid clicks, with the occasional visitors who open an advertisement twice, and the likes. Hence, I would counsel you to concentrate on increasing traffic, rather than flooding your pages with keywords as suggested earlier, which may get your account terminated.
If the ads are not making any money, the advertiser will slowly reduce the CPC, The people who click on ads has to go and deliver the results to the advetiser. There are many many factors. All big companies have bid tool and they take the history of not just one product but over all products they want to advertise on adsense. If new products outperform old ones, they will reduce the spend on old products and bid higher on new ones. They just see the end results are giving them profit or not. I being working for a leads company for insurance for two years now and they have millions of keywords running in adwords and adsense. There are leaks on some days and some days are just perfect. The tools are made by Ph'ds and since i being working..i have not seen a single day..they have gone to loss. If you look at the "OTHER SIDE", its magic really..adsense and adwords works like a charm to these folks and get them 100's and 1000's of dollars each day. I can't compete with these folks..due to high cost necessary to start with advertising and hiring. It will take some time. Meanwhile, I have decided to start my own adsense website and get some sort of extra income. Adsense is WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET thing...if you are seeing 1074 click and 42 cost...that is what it is..there are no hide and seek..time to renovate, move on, change the strategy, whatever to not see these numbers again. There will always be money to be made in adwords and adsense..we just have to be on right side of things. Good Luck
hi to everyone , i do hope you doing well . Page impressions - 19,405 Clicks - 866 Page CTR - 4.46% Page eCPM - $5.49 Earnings $106.47 Is this conversion good ? or i need to optimize for better keywords ... All the best George
wow, that is lot of clicks.. I would figure you to be in the $300+ range. I guess it depends on your niche.
Actually it depends on the readers. Personally to be $40 in a day is pennies. For others it may seem godly, but for others it nothing. So your viewing the topic in the wrong way, and your view is objective. But to the topic creator, nothing could be done to increase CPC. Only way to increase your revenue is to get more traffic.
with that amount of traffic? i suggest him to use other methods such as affiliate programs to make more money, along with adsense, then see which chanel bring more cash....
Thats an Easy issue to solve, obviously your ads are being clicked, so cut back on adsense and sell private advertising space that goes by click, ask for maybe 25-50 cents a click? (Use something other than adsense cause your being screwed)
I would look at another way to supplement Adsense, there is no way i would work hard promoting my site only to send them away for a lousy 4c
