Hi, I have sports site with 100,000 avg Page impressions with 1.1$ cpm =/ i blocked all MFA sites but srill my cpm the same, can you help? Thanks
I doubt you've blocked ALL MFA sites considering how many there are. How did you block them...which ones (I don't mean list the URLS but how did you get the list of sites to block?)
cpm is typically low with adsense.. you should try to earn $$ via clicks instead of impressions. But that is way too low, if you're going for income through impressions, you might want to join a program such as fastclick
1. reduce number of ad-units if eCPM too low - if eCPM very low like in your case, then ONE single large rectangle ATF might be by far the very best in addition to one link unit horizontal 5 links top-center page = above ALL ( see my site ) 2. stop filtering because filter also reduces bidding competition and hence may substantially contribute to sinking eCPM - NO competition=low prices 3. use stricly successful formats - read G help pages to learn which 3 ( THREE ) formats are successful 4. make a precise channel system to have full control on which placments/formats/colorschemes pay highest example feb 2007 i tested long time various placements and all 3 of the published "successful" formats the difference - same placement (= ATF ) between 300x250 and 336x280 shows some 40+% HIGHER eCPM for the larger rectangle compared to its smaller variation. generally i have some 60-70% or more of all page-revenue/eCPM coming from ATF placement and a substantial part alone from TOP-center page link units 2.5% ctr definitely is far too low 5% UP is acceptable 10% +/- as an average on mixed topic sites certainly a reasonable goal that can be achieved if sully adsense optimized there are other threads in DP forum on adsense optimization, you might want to search/study them and apply some of the advice given there
