AdSense Secrets: AdSense eCPM Explanation

A lot of people are confused about AdSense eCPM which you can see in the AdSense Report everytime you login to your AdSense Account.

In this post, I will try to explain the eCPM to you. Once you understand eCPM, then it will be a great way to increase your AdSense earnings. So, if you are serios to make money using Google AdSense, then read on.

What is eCPM:
eCPM is Effective Cost per 1000 Impressions or we can call it Effective Cost per thousand Impressions.

How to Calculate eCPM:
You can calculate the eCPM by dividing your total earnings by total impressions in thousands. eCPM is a useful method to compare the performance of each AdSense Ads on your blog.

For Example:
Now, you have $10.00 in your AdSense Account and you have total of 7000 impressions which make it 7 thousand impressions.

So, eCPM will be:
$10.00/7= $1.43

Remember: Total Impressions is in thousands. If you have 10,000 impressions, then it will be 10 for the total impressions.

What is the eCPM for:
After calculating the eCPM, it will have a value. From the example above, eCPM is $1.43.

The value of eCPM tells you something. Some Secrets!

According to the example above, Effective Cost per 1000 impressions will help you make $1.43. This means for every 1000 impressions your potential earnings for AdSense will be roughly $1.43.

eCPm is a rough guide or rough value to estimate the performance of your AdSense Ads on your blog. The higher eCPM might means you will be able to make more money from AdSense.

You could try different formats and color of AdSense Ads on your blog and use the Custom Channels to track the performance of eCPM of different AdSense Ads on your blog. When you have found the highest eCPM, use it. It might help you make more money.

For better understanding, read examples below:
If we have two custom channels and we called them 'Blue Skyscrapers' and 'Red Rectangles'. If the 'Blue Skyscrapers' channel gets 400 page impressions and make $1.50 in total earnings while the 'Red Rectangles' channel receives 200 page impressions and $1.00 in earnings over the same period.

We can use eCPM to compare the performance of both channels. Then, we can calculate estimated earnings for every 1,000 impressions. We find that eCPM for blue skyscrapers is $4.00 while the eCPM for red rectangles is $5.18.

This means if we received 1,000 impressions of blue skyscrapers, we would earn roughly $4.00. But for 1,000 impressions of red rectangles, we would earn about $5.18. Therefore, assuming that our sample size is large enough, it is to our advantage to switch to red rectangles throughout our site because they generate more revenue per impression.

In short:
Anyway, eCPM is not always true. It is just a guide for the AdSense Ads performance on your blog. Please keep in mind that eCPM is a reporting feature that does not represent the actual amount paid to a publisher.

Must Read 8 Tips to Make Money Blogging using Google AdSense

You might not see any AdSense Ads on Earn Money From Blog now because of some reasons but I'm using it on my other blogs such as TechViewer and Template Rusht. Both of the blogs are helping me to make money for my AdSense Account and I will soon think of a way to get AdSense back on Earn Money From Blog.

Now, I would like to share with you 8 Tips to Optimize AdSense Ads on Your Blog and Make Money Blogging. This post is a complete version of all the AdSense Tips and Trick I have on this blog. So, I make it in a single post so that you can easily read all the tricks in one post.

#1: Blend AdSense Ads:
Blending the AdSense Ads is the most important part to make money from Google AdSense(Blend AdSense Ads). I stress a lot on blending the AdSense Ads because it is the best and most effective way to help you make money using AdSense. What do I meant by blending the AdSense Ads? Blending the AdSense Ads means to make the Ads look like a part of your site. You need to make optimizations on the colors of the title, text, URL and background color of the AdSense Ads. With proper optimization, you can make the Ads look as if a part of your blog and thus will increase your rate of success in Google AdSense.

#2: Adsense Placements:
Correct placements of the Ads(Blogtimize and Heat Diagram). This is another important factor that will have great effect on your AdSense earnings. Placing the AdSense Ads above the fold is the most effective placements to make the most money from AdSense Ads. What is meant by "above the fold"? "Above the fold" is the placement near the top of your site which refer to the part of the screen where a user does not need to scroll to see the contents of your site. Placing the Ads at this place will have significant effect on your AdSense earning.
Remember: Top-center will usually have the best effect. You can try out different placements to get the best place.

What is the thing/place Your Eyes mainly focus on?

#3: AdSense Ads Format:
Choosing the most profitable Ads Format(Choosing Ads Format). According to statistic, it is found that the Large Rectangle format is the Ads format that make the most money for AdSense Publishers. So, if possible, you should try to include a Large Rectangle Ads on your site.
Please do not squeeze the Large Rectangle format into your site if it doesn't fit at all. If you do so, it will ruin the look of your site and you make even less money.

#4: AdSense in Post Area:
AdSense Ads in the Posts Area(Add AdSense in Posts Area). This is a powerful placement to get a lot of clicks and a lot of money. The logic here is that people tend to be attracted to words, pictures and ads wrapped by texts.

For example:
When I read newspaper, I tend to look at the "text" wrap in the middle of the news and read it very carefully.
So, when users are reading the AdSense Ads carefully, they will tend to click on the Ads t find out more about it. There, you get the money coming.

#5: Unique Contents for AdSense:
Finally, contents of your site. Create specific contents on your site for better targeting of Ads. Don't beat around the bush and write on a lot of topics. This will make AdSense Ads confuse and thus show irrelevant Ads on your site. So, it is wise to write on a specific topic and use keyword properly. So, choose a topic for your site.

#6: Do not place AdSense Ads on Empty Page
If you are using AdSense Ads on an empty page, then you will have hard time to make money from Google AdSense. Do not place AdSense Ads on your empty page, this will make Google think that you are creating MFA site.

In addition, you need to remember that if you use AdSense Ads on your empty page, then you are not going to get proper Ads and mostly you will get PSA. Google AdSense Crawler will have hard time to find relevant contents on your page and finally Ads shown will be irrelevant.

#7: Ask When You Have Questions
Don't keep your problems and questions in your mind. Ask from other people. Get the proper answer and optimize your AdSense Ads well.

If you have doubt, you can always ask me or you can ask Google Directly.
This is what Google said:
"Please feel free to email us at adsense-tech@google.com if you have additional technical questions or concerns. For general program or account questions, please email adsense-support@google.com."

#8: AdSense After Posts:
Placing AdSense Ads after your posts can be a very effective way to maximize your AdSense earning. Placing AdSense Ads after your posts is quite easy if you are using Blogger.com.

You can read the AdSense Ads after blog posts implementation guide here.

Reasons that AdSense Ads after posts is performing well:

ReviewStream: Pays You to Write Reviews, Are You In?

I'm wondering how many readers here are writing reviews and make money from ReviewStream.






How Many of You Are using ReviewStream to Make Money?

Are you successful using ReviewStream?

I came across this website called ReviewStream few days ago and I notice that the site is paying $2.00 per review and $0.10 per rate.

Yes!You read it right.
ReviewStream is paying $2.00 per review and $0.10 per rate on your reviews.


At first, I think and said to myself, "It is too good to be true.". So, I join discussions at myLot and asked for opinions. I got a lot of responses from mylotters and a lot of them are using ReviewStream to make money from their review.

Are You using ReviewStream to Make Money Online?

I hope you can share your experience using ReveiwStream or any other similar sites with me.

I tried to submit 2 reviews but my reviews got rejected by ReviewStream. If you are interested to join ReviewStream, you could visit the site here. Actually, if we are dedicated reviewers in ReviewStream, we can make quite a god income from it.

Assume we write: 10 reviews per day
We get paid : $20.00 per day
We continue for 30 days: $600.00 per month.

$600.00 per month from ReviewStream alone is a good income online.

Imagine that you write reviews about the products you use on your blog,
do you get paid for it?
Yes but very less.


To be honest, I don't place any referral link because I'm not yet a member of ReviewStream. I think it would be a great information to let all of you know about ReviewStream because it is very worth it to get paid to write reviews.
