    Hello,

    I'm a newbie here and of Adsense. I have run the Adsense program for five days now, but all what I gained are just the number of page impressions, not even a cent. I wonder if they can be exchanged to be a click or clicks.

    impressions are number of ads shown on your sites, you can earn money only when your visitor click on the ads.
    Generally 1 click per 100 impressions = 1% CRT.

    Thank you for your kind explanation. This means I will not gain any cent from page impression?

    No. You can actually earn even with out any clicks on the ads. They are called cpm ads. That is cost per thousand impressions. But we can't decide on the value in the cpm ads. It is the prerogative of the adwords people.:)
