AdSense Per Click Payout Based On Natural Rankings

Pretty much, and I would not be surprised if that is waht they were doing already. You know, with all the information they store from the toolbar etc... In the end, I have to believe that G will do what makes it, it's publishers and it's advertisers the most money.

 

Shawn, you are exactly correct in your assertion. I have a wireless customer that is doing $15,000 per month in AdSense revenues.. It's insane.. I talked for hours with him about how he is doing it. He mentioned the Google Tool Bar and the "Ranking" item on it. Generally sites at 7 and above tend to go through the roof in terms of the pay per click. Now to figure out how to do the same

 

I don't think PageRank has much to do with it, but since it is a generally small part in ranking well in the SERPs then I see the correlation.

But don't count on just getting your PageRank up and suddenly your AdSense will pay exponetially more.

 

I have to believe that your money would rise as your visitors rise. Why wouldn't it?

 

Not necessarily. Just cause you have higher traffic, does not mean people are going to click on the Google links..

 

I basically have two sites. One is unranked and the other has a pr of 5. The PR of 5 pays ALOT more per click, but its natural ranking isn't high at all for the key words of the ads.

It must be a combination of PR and natural rankings.

 

Are both sites targeting the same keywords? It could be just that there is more paying competition on the site with a PR of 5.

 

Neither site at this point is really targeting any keywords, but you are correct they don't have the same "keyword" ads.

--- I did some researching and using the overture tool, it looks like the pr 5 site has bids for its words from $1 to $3 for the top 5 and the other site has .20 to .50$ for the top 5, so disreguard my last post.

I can add no data/info to this thread.

 

I just thought of a simple reason why google does it that way. The top ranked sites get all the traffic, so by showing the highest paying advertiser's ads there, google earns much more...and in the process depletes their highest paying advertiser's pockets quickly..
google revenue=clicks * payment per click

 

Google can and always will do what they want with their algo's to the betterment of the bottom line.

Who is going to stop them? Have they ever been caught doing anything like this before Is this a CT??

Does Adsense have anything to do with search results or do CTR on Adsense have anything to do with SERP's.

Yes it does, no it doesn't, yes it does, no it does not, Oh yes it happens, Oh no it doesn't.

 

I had a page with PR0 (new page) with a special channel assigned to its ads. After a few months the PR has risen to 4 from 0 .. gradually. Yesterday I was checking the cost per click .. actually it has come down over the months .. so apparently a PR0 paid me much more than a PR4 ...

but again it could be that the value of the keywords also came down...

ALSO , my page now ranks very high in the google search ... so actually the CPC coming down points to a different direction that what you have experienced !!

 

Does anyone think that unique IPs on the clicks also make a difference?

nriweb- how much new traffic do you think that you are getting?

 

What considered a smart pricing on ppc-based model for key words on imigration canada. appriciate your response.

 

I don't know ... a dollar?

wasn't this thread about the relation to higher rankings in the SERPs to higher AdSense Click Through Rates for those keywords the domain ranks high for?

 

it could, but if it did, then all the lowest paying advertisers would stop advertising (as their ads are not shown) and the highest paying advertisers would soon drop their prices..

 

This post makes my head spin, along with a few others.

So I have tried to summarize all this in a one-page block diagram -

THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION TO CLICK ANY ADS.
If you read this, please DO NOT click the ads.
Thank you.

I'm just trying to shed a little more light on the subject using a pictorial format. It was drawn by listening to webmasters here and elsewhere. I want to make it a concensus drawing - multiple people say the same thing, and in it goes. A visual summary of opinions, if you will.

Comments?

 

Google should have more openness in the way they work out pricing .
Im gonna have to run some tests on adwords at some stage.

 

I think results coming from both yahoo and google are paid quite a bit more than any other incoming traffic..
