Is there a such thing? I am averaging about $0.25/click currently but I am seeing some of you getting $1-5 dollars per click which amazes me. I am running electronic related websites, what steps i can take to improve the pay per click and also making sure the ads are still related to what my content is about? Enlighten me please.
You can't unless you change the topic of your site or your pages. On my site, certain pages about certain topics get low revenue-per-click rates. Other pages about other topics get high rates. For example, the health insurance niche gets high rates, but adding pages about health insurance to your electronics site might not be practical. However, as an example, you might add a page about the health exposures of certain electronic devices (cellphones, etc.) and talk a bit about health insurance. If Google picks up on the topic and displays relevant health insurance ads, you're good to go. However, since the page would not be specifically related to health insurance, there's a good chance you won't get the ads you want. In summary, for many web sites, there is just no way to get high paying ads.
If you have three ad blocks on a page, you could try removing one, and put the first one in the most visible area, not in a top banner. Google charges the most for the first position, so your first position ad earns the most. The farther down the page they go, the less the advertiser pays and the less the publisher gets.
How to know if the ads are paying high or not? Are we allowed to choose it? Isn't it automatic on your niche?
It depends on your niche/subject and the related keywords. Before developing a site you plan to monetize with ads like adsense, you'll need to do some research to determine the average value of the terms you'll target. A good way to do this is to play around with adwords and find bid rates for terms in a niche before you launch a content site. I prefer to do direct-to-merchant ppc advertising to determine keyword $ values and average conversion rates-- then i build a content site when i find a match.
hi. i'm a newbie here but i've been researching on bid rates for quite some time now. i set up a niche site about a particular topic because my research led me to believe that the ads in my niche were high paying ones and returned close to $1 per click. presently though, i found out that there are some ads in my site that don't even go over ten cents. i guess it's important to find the right tools to analyze the $ value of ads. accurate methods seem hard to come by
$0.25 per click seems as good amount to me. If you are looking for better click amount, you must get ready for a tougher competition.
