for adsense users

[lightwave]

Ok...I seem to be a little confused with adsense.

I have over 2,000 Page Impressions, yet my ePCM is $0.00 . I thought googl pays me some money every 1,000 page impressions.

Do I only get payed when people click the links? if not,can you please explain to me how i can get payed...

The majority of the income comes through clicks.. SOME ads pay if they are just viewed.. but most are clicks.. The ePCM just tells you the amount you have earned divided by the number of page Impressions...

Effective CPM - Cost per 1000 impressions. From a publisher's perspective, CPM is a useful way to compare revenue across different channels and advertising programs. It is calculated by dividing total earnings by the number of impressions in thousands. For example, if a publisher earned $180 from 45,000 impressions, the CPM would equal $180/45, or $4.00.

It's against the Adsense TOS to encourage your users to click. Google will drop you like a rock if caught.

Check out https://www.google.com/support/adsen...y?answer=34028 Google themselves help you with ideas to help you with making the most out of your adsense... You might be having trouble because no one sees your ads.. maybe they blend in TOO well.. or you might have another issue where ppl are just not seeing them.

Also.. make sure you got all the code when pasting it in your site.. ppl might be clicking.. but if the code is wrong.. it won't do any good for you!.. lol

Yeah, they must click the links to make any money. For example, my site doesn't get many page impressions... I think for adsense it has like alittle over 280, and yet I have made .50 cents. I am not sure where you have your ads but might I suggest putting them in your archive pages. That way your main forum home isn't cluttered with ads but people using say google who find your archive pages will see them and might click them. Working for me so far. They have a hack for it here.

Also keep in mind, text-based ads are not really targetting CPM, they are targetting PPC. If you're looking for CPM, mix your ads up between text & images or simply target the image ads.

Now, that is not to say you will not find image ads targetting PPC, though you will find more image-based ads targetting CPM as they tend to draw attention when done correctly.

Yeah most come from clicks - sometimes it takes time for the credit to show up. Wait for a few days and then get google
