Review: Google AdSense (@4000 page views)

I will be reaching 4000 Google AdSense page views within the next couple days. I have so far accumulated 5 paid clicks. None of the data in the table seem to add up to the amount shown in payments. CPC and estimate seems to have some correlation but the totals do not add up. I also had a click in December but there are not transaction payment for that month.

Last month, I had switched the ad placement to be included below the articles. This seems like it created additional click for April but my volume is too low to really make any sort of analysis. Also, I do not have any clicks for this month so that goes against that analysis anyways.

Hopefully, I'll have more update at 8000 page views.

Note

Please do not click on the ads unless you are intentionally interested in the ad (per Google's terms of use/service). I am not blogging for income. I am just analyzing the service. TIA

Review: Google AdSense - Page View Counts are Lower than Other Sources

I have been watching the page views between Google AdSense, Blogger, Google Analytics, and Google Webmasters, and AdSense is much lower in count than the other sources. I expected this is due to all the ad blocks that exist on the internet. Another possibility is that firewalls are blocking out the ads depending on corporate regulations.

I did find interestingly is that my page count view has been growing slowly yet by AdSense actually decreased although very slightly. Although not a huge sample, the trend according to Blogger is that my page counts have increased from the low 50s to upper 60s, while AdSense decreased from 27 to 25 (metrics in 'per day' units).

Provided my assumptions, this would seem to indicate that 1. I attract more users that have ad block, 2. I attract more users that are behind corporate firewalls (I guess it could be personal but I am going to assume that number is very negligible), and 3. revisiting users have installed ad blocks in between. Given the nature of this blog, my guess would be #1.

I wonder if there is a way to verify that conclusion.

Analysis

Seems that my traffic is decreasing a little bit. I think this is due to the decrease in a couple of my older posts that have been driving most of the traffic. My guess on that is due to the age of the posts as they over a year old. 

I still have not figured out what keeps causing the 1 or 2 visits on each of my pages. The first visit almost always occurs within a few minutes of posting, but sometimes could take up to a day or two. The second visit is more erratic in that it could be within a day to a few days (maybe a week).

I am glad to see that my traffic sources are now search engines. Last year there were a couple that would always sneak onto my list that were for other advertising. I do not think that I did anything to change that, so hopefully that is just blogger cleaning up the data or the ad sites disappeared or the ads do not think it is worth there time anymore.

I am trying to reuse my lables, so hopefully the number of single tags will decrease over time. Or perhaps, I will be trying to increase the higher count labels.

Review: Google AdSense (@2000 page views)

Earnings

I reached 2000+ page views a couple days ago but wanted to wait till the end of the month to see how this will change my balance. So far no change to my balance even thought my estimated earnings for last month was $0.01, so I am still at $0.37.

So it appears, I do not earn anything just by having ads on my page when no one clicks on it. I thought that I would at least get something for having ads. I plan to try this for one more month, then switch to the wider ads.

Review: Google AdSense (@1000 page views)

Earnings

I finally reached 1000 page views and see my very first payable earnings, a whole $0.37.

I am still trying to figure what all the metrics mean. It appears that the earning comes from the RPM (revenue per page views / factor) where factor is 1000 at the time of this post. At the time of the 1000 mark, my RPM is at $0.37.

What is confusing is because I actually have CPC with $0.38.

The cost-per-click (CPC) is the amount you earn each time a user clicks on your ad. In your reports, CPC is calculated by dividing the estimated earnings by the number of clicks received.

Somehow the RPM for that day is $16.34. I cannot figure which number is the source value. I thought CPC was the amount that I actually received because someone clicked on an ad. This is clearly not the case because I received less than that amount.

The other odd thing is the summary of the reports. In the total amount for CPC, I have 0.38 while I only have one record of 0.37. I do have 0.01 in the estimated earnings which carries over to the CPC? That does not make a lot of sense to me yet, but that's the only field that has a penny.

Well at the rate that I am going, I will hopefully reach the next thousand in 5-6 weeks to compare more numbers with.

Navigation

Since I developed a habit of going into the reports, I had trouble finding the page the earnings was on. It is on the home page of AdSense under "View payments".
