Wow! I logged into my adsense account this morning and I looked at my "DigitalPoint" channel. I had 2 impressions, and 1 click, earnings = under dollar, but quite a few cents. Not too surprising. But what was really shocking was that when I checked the avg. eCPM is was ~ 350$! What kind of maniac would pay 350$ in CPM?!?! I'm sorry, but I'm still in a state of shock.
congrats ive had an ecpm of over 850.00 and then 1 for over $1100. i agree. who would pay that much. although as impressions increased ecpm went down the drain. still cool none the less.
Thats pretty cool but seriously I wanna know whos rich enough to spend that much money on CPM anyway completely beside the point lol bolognie is spelt bologna haha it only bohers me because of the oscar myer commercials (if you live in the US you know what im talkin bout lol)
Ehm, that totally doenst mean you'll get $350 for 1000 impressions. It just that you only had 2 impressions, and with those impressions made 70 cents (due to the one click), so Adsense calculates you would make $350 with 1000 impressions, but that is never going to happen.
Because you only had 2 impressions and 1 click that's why it was high. eCPM is based on one thousand impressions. It doesn't mean someone was paying that amount per 1k impressions but if you maintained a 50% CTR with 1k impressions at the same cost you earned on your click then yes it would be $350. Very unlikely but even if it was to happen it could be coming from hundreds of people not just 1.
I wasn't getting too happy hehe I haven't even earned enough on my adsense to pay for hosting, under 20$ in total, but that doesn't matter, I just actually thought that someone was paying 350$ CPM, but it seems that I got that wrong Well, it made my morning
There are actually people who pay quite a bit for advertising. For instance, during the momentary timeframe that I experimented with AdBrite, there was an advertiser who extended a $100 CPM bid for an interstitial advertisement. It’s astonishing, but seems really far-fetched and raises doubts on my end.
As gkgk11 pointed out... that's not going to happen it's just an estimate based on the 2 impression and the 1 click... In fact if that DOES happen you will most likely get banned
Maybe it's someone who's completely new to Adwords and didn't know what they were doing, or a big company with a lot of money to spend. Or maybe a pissed off employee in the marketing department who's trying to get fired, who knows.
