Do you think that's a decent payout? roughly 2,000 impressions converting to about $4 on average. Sorry for the short thread... I suppose that's all I've got to ask!
it's below decent, actually. It's 2 bucks per 1k impressions, which is not that bad, but ain't that good either. If you have good ad positions and optimization, you could get 5$+ per 1k impressions pretty easily.
It depends of the niche, but this is possible in some websites. I mean - this can be quite normal and decent. what ctr?
I have a banner right under my navigation area, before the main content. I've made it blend it, but I didn't think the position could be any better than there. There's also one directly past the first fold. On average my CTR is 0.62%. Some days it is slightly higher, around 1%. It is a technology (network / internet) niche. Users are very technically minded and a lot probably ignore the ads. I recently wrote a PHP script that randomizes the top banner between [curved border and obtrusive colours] , [well blended, unobtrusive] , and [forced image] ads. I quickly took this off though because I think that I get less CPM payout if I do that. My traffic is starting to increase now to about 1500 hits or more per day, which is far far better than all my other website attempts. I've done my best to experiment myself, but could you guys help me out a bit? Oh yes and I've finally made the $100 payout cutoff Edit, DevilHellz: Could you tell me more about that Linkstyler site in your signature? I was expecting some sort of hyperlink tag generator but it appears to be a google search box. What're you doing with that (if you don't mind me asking)?
It's an index of all the well known and big websites, all in one page, categorized, and viewable as logo pictures instead of text links. It's sort of like a 'homepage' for those people who need it. No generators there, sorry
My "bad" sites do $ 4 for 100 impressions and I feel "disapointed", but you get what you "pay" for???
mine 2day page impres 23 at 2 click and i earn 0,10$ is it ok or not? i,m still confuse with the how google made acounting bout this ...
Wow, I can't believe you guys are calling $4 CPM bad... How do you make more then that? Are your sites riddled with adsense blocks?
I dunno if thats low but you should be happy i created a site 4days ago and i have 3,678 page impressions 2 clicks and $0.01 lol anyone know why?
like someone said above, it has to do with ad placement, content and the likes. i get about $30 per 1k impressions with a lifetime average of about 11.5% ctr
I thought that's is decent for 500 impressions got one dollar. It's not bad otherwise is mine too bad
Very much possible as well. I have a number of sites in which my potential revenue per 1k impressions can go as high as 50$ - the thing is, that i have to drive traffic to these sites to make it happen.
