    I hope I have your attention, because I have no idea how to interperet the following. I was checking out my adsense search returns this morning. I saw the following. Now, I have the url for the image, if I can post it, but basically the effective CPM was $11,000 and the payout was no where near, but still pretty large.

    Does that make sense? Does that mean the G received 10K for that one search? I was stunned, and if me posting this is in anyways a bad idea or against their TOS, please let me know by emailing me directly so I can remove it. I don't think it is, but sometimes you never know. If I can post the image let me know, so you can see it for yourself. Maybe others have had the same thing???

    No, CPM could be that high if you have very few impressions, and lots of (high paying) clicks. I see CPM rates above $500 in certain channels, and above $1,000 occasionally. A CPM of $10,000 just means that you averaged $10 per impression. So 3 impressions, one click for $30 would be a $10k CPM.

    It was 2 page impressions, 1 click and $10,995. I made near the averages you talked about. I need to find out what that search was for ;)

    that means you got a $20 keyword page. what is the keyword? everything i do is very average. i believe the adwords price dropped a lot in recent month, however the low bid at $0.05 are heated. so more people are bidding $0.1 and less people are bidding at $10.

    I believe it would be against Google's TOS for me to let you know what the $20 keyword is.

    It's already against the TOS telling us about the CPM and how much you got for your click :p

    unless you are not related to adsense.
    google ban only adsense or adword users to disclose them. it is a loophole in their TOS. it has no control of 3rd parties.

    If you add an IMG tag to your Adsense Search code, you have a decent shot of determing what they search for - take a look at my test page if you are interested in an example.

    smart move.
    i don't think adsearch is that profitable, otherwise i will run it. TOS said you can not change the code of search codes, but it does not say anything about you can not change the value of the code from outside of the code, such as automatically call the script or insert search strings into it. i don't many will click the ads, as google's template is not designed for higher CTR.

    i designed for high CTR, however i lost a lot of visitors, as the new design is looking weired. CTR is also coming down, after realize the new layout.

    i am still developing my next generate high CTR pages, i think its CTR will be at 20% to 25% and stays there without dropping, as i will intercert something dynamic that my visitors will not stop using my site.

    FYI FWIW: my test page is (as the name implies) just a test page where I play around with stuff - I doubt this is against the TOS, but it was more just an idea of how to track what people were punching in and I'm one of those inquisitive guys that likes to see how things work - Shawn actually get the credit for the idea - no surprise! ;-)

    What does this do for you? I noticed you added the </img> tag, but how does that help you?

    Alek, does the img string give you the query result? How does that display with a log analyzer?

    It would give you the page url that accesed the image.

    Q. Is this just inserting an image via the adsense search control panel?
