Do you guys have Google Adsense on your mainstream sites?
 

What's the eCPM you guys are getting?

Last month it was around $1 for me and it now droped to $0.48!!

WTF?

My CTR is around 1,2% now.... Is that normal or too low?

Depends on the site really...what really works for me is blending the ads as much as possible with the site colors and near menus.
Last week was really weird...one day I was getting a 2.3%CTR with a $10.97 eCPM and the next 2 days to 2.2% and $1.98 eCPM.
I dont know if there is a way to see which ads users are clicking on....

Damn! That would be so sweet to get that kind of eCPM!!

I don't think you can see which adds the users clicked, but how would that help you once the adds are automaticly generated?

No.

I'm trying to sell my products... not clicks to someone else's site.

What products do you have?

Clothes, software, services...

Not everything is a "click" business.

close to $10 per cpm

What's up with the attitude? Jesus...

my ctr is really high on some sites, it used to be higher i just noticed it has gone down. heres my stats for the last 7 days:

11.4% $10.57

How much traffic do you guys see daily?

$10 CPM sounds too good to be truth.

Low traffic on the $10 eCPM...it`s still a new site.
The rest get around 100 visits a day cos they`ve only been up for a month and haven`t had the time to promote them.

Attitude?




Where's the 'Attitude'? You asked questions and got answers.

Depends on the site. Some only do $1, others are about $70.

Why use Adsense instead of sell products? Because I don't have the time or resources to test & understand all the markets my mainstream sites cover. I take the ones I know and let someone else make the money off the others.

Same here. If a particular site is getting exceptional traffic, I will try to find a better sponsor otherwise I let Adsense show them something.

For those asking about an Adsense tracker, the best one out there by far is http://www.asrep.com :thumbsup

Thanks everybody!

I'll try some different stuff now...

Page CTR 20.3%

eCPM $29.10

See... If I had a $30 eCPM I'd be set!

I guess you don't have that much traffic also?

I have it on mine.

btw telling those info is against google TOS

hope they will not know about this thread ;)

Mines pretty low but I have it on a forum. I'm guess that is a reason for the low CTR since I have it on every page.

Is it against Google Adsense TOS to let surfers know about Adsense? i.e. If it's on a forum, can you let your board members know about the ads? "please visit our sponsors" type deal?

Yes, it's against their TOS. You can't do that.

Figured that. Thanks.

Figures you can't say, support our forum, visit our sponsors.
