    Hey guys , sorry im confused and still cannot understand what does that word means...

    I mean i have about 1000 UV per day and adbrite says i've got 350 impressions , and with about 3000 pageviews per day i dont even get 1cent on adbrite =/

    Am i doing something wrong? I've got one week before a jump 13 cents in one day , but then it just came back to normal "nothing a day" as it's now...


    Help please!

    Impressions are the number of times a CPM banner ad is shown.
    That's an important point - banner ads aren't normally displayed every time someone visits. Quite often they see CPC ad units instead. That would explain why your visitors and CPM impressions don't match. You should be getting somewhere between 10-20 cents CPM with AdBrite, but it depends on where your traffic comes from. Obviously western traffic pays better.

    If you place more ads on a page you've got more chance of getting clicks, but impressions will only be counted for one unit (otherwise people would con the system by filling their sites with CPM banners). I usually use two AdBrite units per page. I also use full page ads, which display once per IP per day.

    I'm afraid to use those , cause my site is relatively new , and losing people on my stage will not lead to anything good... Guess I'll try it little bit later now will concentrate on increasing my visitors

    Thanks again.
