Hello, I have a questions is .58 cent a click good, am I in danger zone just wondering because I use to get like .20cents per click now I'm getting somewhere .58cents. One more thing what is different about CTR and page eCPM. Because when my eCPM is high I get good money but when it;s low I get less money. But CTR doesn't really matter or does it, cuz either way if it;s low or high I still get good money if myeCPM is high if now I get less money. Somebody explain me what;s I am not understanding....? Last thing in what range does eCPM needs to be and CTR needs to be. Please let me know thanks alot
It's going to be different all the time. I've gotten .01 for a click before, and I've gotten $3.00. I've heard it even gets as crazy as $15/click in some niches. eCPM is just a measurement...it is an approximation of what you make per thousand visitors. More or less a ratio of income/divided views times 1000. You aren't in the 'danger zone' unless your CTR is so high that it looks like fraud. The amount you get per click is just a function of what the advertiser paid for it. Who knows, maybe some crazy billionaire wants to give away millions randomly and does a campaign at $100/click. Google won't care...they'll just take their cut. It's hard to say just what yours should be without knowing what your site is, or how you are marketing it, etc.
Ya, I know it;s good but everybody I'm getting somewhere there. I been working with Adsense for year and half, I use to get like .15cents .10cents or less but never ever got more than .58cents starting to get now, like everyday.
lol thanks a lot that helps. By the way I like your display picture I wish I could zoom in that shit lol
58 cents a click is good, and there is no 'danger zone' from this. CTR is the percentage of page impressions that result in a click - e.g. if you have 3 clicks for every 100 page impressions your CTR is 3% eCPM is how much you earn from each 1000 page impressions. If you have 100 impressions, earning say $1, your eCPM will be $10. If you have 10,000 impressions earning $20, your eCPM will be $2. So eCPM is higher if: - you have a high CTR and / or - you have a high CPC There is no particular range they should be in. CTR seems to vary from 0.1% for some forums etc, through 'normal' rates of 1-4%, then up to 30%+ for sites that place a lot of emphasis on the ads (often MFA sites). I never heard of any of these rates being a problem, as long as the clicks are valid. Since eCPM depends on the CTR and the CPC the range can vary a lot, often between $1 and $10, but quite often much higher - I guess if your CPC is 0.58 your eCPM is probably $20+. It's not easy to have a high eCPM on a high traffic site but that's the ideal we are all trying for! edit: lots of other replies while I wrote this, sorry if I duplicated everything!
Yeah, as others have said, no problems based on the click value. If you haven't yet, set up some Adsense channels so you can figure out what page(s) are getting the high value clicks. Then, you should be able to figure out what keywords your visitors are using to find your site when they arrive at that page. Then, if necessary, do some work to get yourself higher up in the SERPs for the keywords they are actually using. In short, when you find a high eCPM page, figure out how people are getting there and try to increase it.
Thanks a lot everybody for the reply! Rasputin you almost guessed my eCPM well it;s less my 4, what you have guess but that is every close. Ya your right about the high traffic thing when I have high traffic I get less money so what I do is take the ads off for a while and put them back one after 4hours den I start to get more money with less page impression. lol you like my trick, it works that;s all I know. Why is that?
Unless I've misunderstood you here, I think you may be a bit confused. The eCPM is not how much money you are getting. In fact, until you are getting many thousands of views its very inaccurate. If you got 10 views, and got one click that was worth $0.59, it would show your eCPM as $59...which is pretty rediculous. But you've only really made 59 cents. You may go all day and get 100 more hits and only one more click. You're eCPM would have gone down dramatically (income/views*1000), but you would have made more money from 2 clicks instead of having just 1. eCPM is not a measure of how much you are making, but a statistic. And as such, its only accurate if you have many many views...on the level of 5000 to 10,000. And even then, its really only good to compare one advertising service to another..ie this one makes me more money per thousand visitors I get than the other service does.
It;s not hard to get 10,000 I get some where 12,000 views meaning page impressions on adsense. I don';t know I'm so lost here. But whatever it is it's working for me I guess. Some time I add my other site I never knew I had to change my ad names from one site to put on the different site so what I did was took the ad from my one site and pasted in on my other site so both of the sites were using page impressions between 30,000 to 40,000 together. And they were running for a week like that I found that when I have more page impressions everything goes down per per click , CTR, and ECPM so the next day I took the ads out of my high traffic site and got more money from 11,000 page impressions. Den the next day I add the code on the other side got less by like 24dollars so I took the ads on from high traffic got more money by like 10dollars. one side getting 12,000 page impressions getting 140dollars both sites getting 35,000 page impressions getting 109dollars somewhere there Why is that? That's the thing I don;t understand.
