This is probably a simple question. How can you tell how much money each publisher is paying per click?
Wow that's really lame. As I'm reading posts I'm reading people say things like "if you get X clicks at Y cents a click". The ads on my pages change from various different publishers. It would be nice to see what each one pays per click. I'm just getting started with this and I have a feeling I have a low paying niche but I want to know for sure which is why I want to know how much my publishers are paying per click.
What you can do to get a better CPC is to focus on a set of high paying keywords, related to your niche of course.
I just was able to figure out because of other existing clicks that one of my ads is generating $.26 per click. Is that a lot? How does that compare your own ads? Also will this $.26 per click stay constant for the same publisher or do publishers often times change their rates which in turn will effect the amount I would earn per click? This is just one publisher. The ad on my page changes from various different publishers. It is my understanding the Google automatically chooses the most profitable ads to display. If the one I just tested generated $.26 would all the ads on my page generate roughly the same amount? Thanks for helping me to understand how this process works!
I think ads price differ based on: a) Earning Potential (Example: Mobile Phone vs. News) b) Number of Advertisers ( 10 mobile phone advertiser vs. 1 news advertiser ) c) Competition of Advertisers ( 100 applicants for that specific keyword vs. 1 applicant for a certain keyword ) So it will differ most of the time.
If you make custom channels for each of your ad positions, you can at least tell which ad slot is paying you the best on average.
If checking on the publishers' bid per click is possible, then you will probably see all of the Adsense users using the competitive ad filter to block off all the low paying publishers. The best you could do is to pick niche that has high CPC and block off all unrelated ads that appear on your site. That will help to increase your overall Earnings per click
the only tools that pple used in knowing the rate was removed by God knows who we are left now with trial by error. just keep testing different niche and you will surely arrive at a very highing paying one, goodluck
That sucks... I just found out by making test pages that another publisher is paying 16 cents per click. I think I have a dozen or so various publishers, so far I know that one of them pays 26 cents and another pays 16 cents as of yesterday. Can anybody tell me if these are relatively constant rates or do they change? Thanks for your responses so far!
The rate is constant as long as the publishers' are happy with the amount of impression and CTR with their current bid.
