Hi, I got a friend reporting that he got only 2 cents per click from Adsense. Is this the trend now? His site is about dating.
No, you are very lucky Actual trend seems to range from 0 to 1 cent in most cases, unless you have lots of years with Adsense and established high traffic.
It all depends on what type of ads are being shown on your website. Lately I have been receiving a lots of low paying clicks.
your friend is lucky enough to get 2 cent.i'm only manage to get 0.01 cents when my early days with adsense.Seems your friend is fighting on competitive keyword
That's very low. I'm from $0.1 to $14.8 and that would depend on your target keywords. My friendster style website is getting from $0.5 to $3.05 a click. John Alexander
my dating related ads on dating related topics are among the HIGHEST paying ads at all but NO comment possible for the site of your friend since your friends site UNknown if HE wants to learn or know about then HE should post and give site URL as well - there might be precise error-reasons for receiving such low eCPM
I seem to get great clicks. just this morning one of my channels showed a click $1.25 for just ONE. But other times i might get some clicks that are only worth $0.30. And this is from Proxy site. So even more surprised, but i don't mind it
Well for dating site it is wrost value because most of site which has Dating sunjects earn good moeny.
remember that is always is YOU to get the low $ and NOT the site because it is YOU to create/select the topic of $-value or cent value depending on how much expertise and $ you have invested into your life and thus into your site-content if YOU write content of high value interesting for the global market and attract global traffic then you get global $-value ads else you get cent ads what goes around comes around simple law of karma applying to all situations of life
no offence but if you think it's too low you still can change topic for your site or focus on a better keywords ^^
Thanks for remembering. But i'm quite happy for that rate, since i still can make google send my payments every month even with very low cpc.
being happy with little may be fine optimizing for top results hwoever may get you that much that you might have something to share with others and looking at 18'000 children starving to death each day there are others to share with if here is an easy way to get funds to share .... besides that low $ also means low $ for advertising business and for G = for ALL in life however we need strong partners to be happy and succeed ourselves
