I know it might vary somewhat but in Adsense whats the average payout per 1,000 impressions? is it 2 cents or 5 cents? lol
5,439.5$ .... Nah really depends if the hits are close to uniques or they are a bunch of refreshes like forums.
Actually -for me atleast - it depends on # of unique & first time visitors. If a lot of new visitors, esp those from SE's, make the ctr impressive. But the repeat visitors - I belive - never click, since they develop ad blindness. Same is true with bought out traffic - its a damn waste afa AS is concerned. The ratio of 1000 imp and $ depends on the above factors awa the keyword value. BTW, last moth ave on 1 of my clients e-comm site is 8.00 & fluctuate vastly.
I read the average eCPM (cost - $ per thousand impressions) was $5-$6. If you use Adsense, it has the potential to go a LOT higher. In my opinion, anything less than $5-$6, and you have some work to do. This is assuming we are not talking about forums.
No wonder a lot get bitter and throw reds at me when I mention how easy it is to earn a lot, with very little traffic at all and without search engine traffic. *shrugs* I consider any page that's below $100 per 1,000 impressions these days a waste of time and effort to drive traffic to. *ducks* Pete
