Okay, I understand clearly how google or any other ad networks pays for pay per click ads. but the part I don't understand is how they pay for the impressions. I mean, almost all google ads are text ads, so how do they pay for impressions. from what i understand, usually companies that pay for impressions are those who uses regular banner ads. so how does then google pay for impressions if their ads text (at least the majority).
So.. you are saying texts cannot be displayed? When the text ads is shown 1000 times, they pay 1 cent.
no they can, but i always thought that companies only pay for impressions if the ad is a banner. 1 cent for a 1000 impressions, that sucks.
For one, Adsense pays CPM for some, but not all image banner ads, some are paid on a per click basis. Now with the text ads, all the ads are paid on a pay per click basis to the publisher apart from them huge ads, these are the ads where just one ad shows in the ad unit with bigger writing than normal. They are CPM ads also. Now getting paid 1 cent for 1,000 ads displayed is false information. This is because to get paid for CPM ads the advertiser directly choose your site for their ads and they choose how much they are willing to pay for your ad space. So the better you position the ads, the less ads you have per page, the better your content, etc. the higher your CPM per ad unit may be and the more advertisers you may get.
they pay for per impressions too. sometimes i got paid like $0.01 per 22 impressions and sometimes i earn like $0.02 per 100 impressions... has anyone experienced this before? im confuse.. its not the same for every paid i got. why?
like which ones? you mean companies that advertise on google, or else where (i.e. individual companies)?
huh, interesting. i will take a look at their image ads. by the way, has any1 used their video units, i tried it, and it seems I got 1 click after like 60 impressions, but said I got $0.00 for the click. lol. weird.
