Money for impressions?

Hey all!

I've recieved some money in my adsense account without any clicks. Do total impressions count towards money? I recieved no clicks but had a eCPM of about .3 $

Thanks!

Well, yes sometimes you are paid for your impressions.

Google Adsenes pays on a CPC and CPM basis. The amount of CPM ads that get shown depends on how many advertisers directly select your site to advertise on. The amount you earn eCPM also depends on how much they want to spend on your advertising space.

I suppose impressions you get from autosurf programs and even manual surf programs are not counted. Otherwise it would be easy to generate impressions for your site.

Yes, we do get paid sometimes on CPM basis but that isnt enough. Mostly we earn from clicks only. The ads that pay for impressions are the SITE TARGETTED ADS mostly. I have seen in advanced reports that SITE ads pay via impressions. You will also find this information written if you search in google adsense help section.

Oh damn!
I never knew that part ^^. Thanks a lot webby. I just checked into my adsense account and I found that I daily get some money from impressions

So if our websites receive tons of impressions, we will earn a lot?

Not really.

The site targetted ads are advertised and limited to certain number of impressions which when gets over they are no longer advertised during that day. Moreover they are actually displayed at a lot of websites rather just yours. So, it all depends on the advertisers. Sometimes site targetted ads harms and needs to be shut down to avoid less $$.

But you do get paid per impression if you have chosen to show images. If you only show text, you don't get paid for impressions. I get most my cash from impressions. Seems like my visitors doesn't like to click the ads or something.

But one thing is for sure. You get paid for the impressions you have too. Not only the clicks.

Monkeygoal you do get paid for impressions as you say, but it's not just for showing image ads. You get paid impressions on text ads aswell. If you notice them large text sized ads where there is only one ad in an ad block that normally has quite a few then that means it is a paid for impression ad.

Please dont expact too much from Impression based earning. You cannot us it as a source of income. It is ignorable atleast under my experience

If you have flash adds on youe wbsite then you are also paid for impression

What is CPC and CPM ? I have not yet put any advertisement in my site.I am thinking of increasing page rank before going for adsense.

prakask · #15 (**permalink**) 01-28-2010, 02:25 PM

As per me we get paid for the clicks. I think we cannot say it is a part of income

I have heard about paying by impressions but I am not very clear how it is!
Nice to know your discussions!
Thanks!

Even I don't receive clicks I still earn from impressions? How is it counted? Whats the computation?

thomas_smith · #18 (**permalink**) 04-02-2010, 04:22 PM

thanks to share this wonderful information

The only thing I can figure out is your website site need add some comunicating part, because for some infomation sharing or search tool websites, no matter how nice you put ads, CTR won't raise.- -""My personal experience.
For Google Adsense, PPC is the huge part where our earning came from, CPM is limited.
