I've looked for about 2 weeks and the type of website I run isn't about clicks but more on impressions. I feel that I would make more revenue on impressions than clicks. I can't find where in my Adsense to switch from CPC to CPM. If anyone can shed light on this, I would appreciate it.
I honestly don't know. Everytime I search CPM rates and anything along those lines Adsense keeps popping up. It is even in their FAQ, but it didn't mention anything on how to make it CPM based.
Hmm. That is an interesting point. Can anyone back this up? If that is the case then I'll switch to media ads asap.
No way to make it to CPM base. Some of the ads do pay CPM but most of them no. If you like to have more CPM ads, you can change the setting to images only, you will get more CPM ads
Adsense sometimes shows some ads with CPM, but all the base is CPC, because Adsense wants to offer only targeted clicks.
in my view CPC is best and bring more earning then CPM. best you run the CPC ads for few months and your traffic will bring more earning.
You can't "switch" between CPC and CPM ads - they are just dictated by the (winning) bids to your site(s). AdSense is primarily a CPC network so the great majority of ads will be cost-per-click but there are still some CPM ads that will rotate through.
You could do this years ago, when I first signed up in 2008 you choose between CPC and CPM but then they started automatically doing it for you.
Yes of course you can switch your adsense from cpc to cpm.All you need to do is convert all your ad units to Image Ads. Basically, Text Ads = CPC Image Ads = CPM Thats why adsense recommends to show Both Text As Well AS Image Ads to earn through cpc as well as cpm .
AS ALREADY POSTED: Fact: Both text and image ads can be paid on either a CPC or CPM basis. AdWords advertisers can choose which type of ad they'd like to create -- e.g., CPM vs. CPC or text vs. image. In order for a CPM ad or an image CPC ad to win in the ad unit auction and appear on your site, it has to produce an effective CPM greater than the sum of the individual text ads that would otherwise appear.
Adsense is performance base. If you want to make money base on CPM, you can try on other Ad networks which are offering good CPM rate.
Adtomatik is the best solution for publishers. They have a capable team that is focused on increasing the revenues and improving monetization. Thanks to their advice and support I have successfully tried ad formats such as Native, and In image, with excellent results.
