Hello guys, I currently have a blog (www.ebizexperiment.com) and I am posting about an eBusiness experiment. Its about an experiment to check out what are the odds of an average guy to make money online. And part of that is reporting my pageviews, earnings,etc I am using adsense and so far it is a very precious tool for me. I plan on sharing my earnings with my readers and the whole word. But I don't know exactly what are the things I can say and cannot?? Can I talk about my cpm ??, monthly earnings? click through rate?? what can I talk about exactly?? Also one more thing. I am currently using a navigation site in which you check out other peoples sites, get credits, and in exchange of those credits people will come to your site. I heard that this was not allowed BUT the site I am using you can convert the credits for banner impressions and when someone clicks that banner a new window opens. Just like normal banner advertising but put on a traffic exchange site...I am planning to release my credits sometime soon and wondered if I should take out my adsense ads during this time or if its not necessary. Thanks in advance for answering!!
Well the first thing you have to be careful of is not suggesting or hinting in any way that people should click on your ads. It can be tricky if you are writing about your earnings and clicks on a page that also has ads on it. But here is the answer to your question from the Adsense Terms of Service: https://www.google.com/adsense/localized-terms So you can say how much you are earning, but not what your click-through rates are, and probably not what your eCPM is (since that may be included under "statistics relating to Property performance").
