I've been using adsense since 2007, My average CPC was 0.02 and 0.03. I'm a little bit worry because this month the cpc went up to between 0.12-0.20. I did not made any significant changes, just posting 1-2 posts a day like I always did. No changes in CTR and slight increase in Pageviews (5%). It just me or anyone having the same situation? From adsense report this month, everyday i can see click worth USD2.00 and above (2-3 clicks daily), and it is not from tier 1 country. I know "Google want to protect their advertiser", and I don't want for this reason I'm banned, ..Too worried about the amount of money for this moth ...
I did not have any experiment to share, just posted 1-2 articles per day. No significant increase in Page Views. Earning 3-4 times higher than previous month.
Nothing to worry, it is all about how much the advertiser pay. Yes, tier 1 country pay better generally but doesnt mean tier2 or 3 country always pay less.
LOL !! Why are you worried ? I have few sites that give me 10% CTR with .50$ , .80$ or even $2 per click . If you are doing everything legal , then no need to get worried . You traffic must be organic and never click your own adds . According to me , your CPC and CTR is very low .
Wow, if my CPC like yours I could come close to 5 Figure (in my currency - myr). On averages 80% of my readers are from search engine, 10% direct and 10% returning visitors. I'm not worried about legal issue since Google called me once (about 2-3 years ago) for optimization tips so I think if there are legal issue they would notify me(I didn't do as per advice since I don't like too many ads on my blog). Another thing it just a blogspot blog, and I wonder it if could earn that much. I'm afraid that I'm in a position where Google want to protect their advertisers. Maybe you are right, maybe I'm just thinking about it too much.
Worrying too much is not a solution to anything , just keep on moving . Also transfer your site to TLD ( Top level domain ) dont use blogspot now . Anyone can earn very handsome income through adsense , just need proper knowledge . Also the main thing is that , lots of things work together in CTR , CPC , etc .
I already tried TLD 2 years ago, at that time I have 2 blogspot blogs using adsense. Last year the one that I transferred dropped gradually from 2k pageviews to 300 pageviews and I decided to remove that blog (deleted), it is a tech blog with just 400++ posts. Now I only left one blog so I won't risk it, make a new blog with a TLD is a safer move for me. Btw beside TLD, do you have any other advice? it would be great help =)
Yes , you can start a new , that will be good . Lots of advice are there . Lots of things matter to earn through adsense . You need complete knowledge .
Its all about the traffic you get from. If your traffic is from countries like US and Canada, you will definitely get higher CPC. I get around$0.4 to $0.7 with CTR of just above 2.nothing to worry.
I agree, your CPC is still fairly low. Of course, CPCs can be vastly different depending on niches, traffic source/quality, etc., but I wouldn't be concerned, unless you have been doing something shady.
My traffic mainly from US and India. CTR currently around 4-5. From my report I could see CPC for countries (in page 1 and 2) increased 3-4 times than previous month. Yeah, my niche was about tech so I never complaint about low CPC, 80% traffic from SE.
