How to know exact earning $$$ per click from Adsense?

[baokhau]

Dear following warriors,
I want to make money with Adsense. Supposing i found the niche and its relevant keyword, i want to know how much can i earn per click from its adsense ads?

OK, so you have put your keyword into the GAKT (Google Adwords Keyword Tool) and the estimated CPC.Approximate CPC.

This is the approximate cost-per-click you might pay if you were to bid on the keyword. The CPC is averaged over all the ad positions.

So if your kwd pays $1.00, an advertiser might expect to pay anything from 20cents to $4.00 for a keyword BEING SEARCHED FOR.

You are on the Content Network, which is cheaper for the advertiser than the search network. But it ranges from (say 20 cents to $4.00)

You will earn 60% of what the advertiser pays. (That is the answer to the question.)

Foe example if the GAKT tells me that an insurance kwd costs say $18.00 (to the advertiser, average on search), if i run a site about that niche and someone clicks on an adsense ad I might recieve $2 or $3 which would be 60% of the Content network fee paid by the advertiser. The advertiser may have paid $4-6 for that click.

Hope that makes sense.

Then you must need to know how much would the bidder bid on that keyword, there's no exact value.

I don't think there's an exact amount per click that you should expect in Google Adsense. it really depends on the keyword that an advertiser bids, so you really can't tell how much is your earnings per click.

Nope...Dont think you are able to find out the exact earning from Adsense...all bids are different anyway...

The only way to know for sure how much you'll get for specific keyword is create a blog, post article about that keyword and post one adsense add, will receive click - will receive your $ per click. Also it will vary in different countries.

Different niches have different CTR so it depends on the niche.

You will earn absolutely nothing until someone comes to your site and clicks on a link. Then you will get 68% of that that advertiser paid Google for the ad. No one can tell you how much that is, even if they knew the key word you were going after. Due to the fact that the ads will vary, and advertisers pay different amounts as it is done via a bidding process and the highest bids go first. The only think you can know for sure is that the ads up top of your page will pay more than the ones down bottom.

You are worrying about stuff that you have no control over after you choose your key words. Worry about driving traffic as the more traffic you get the more money you should make as there is more chance that someone will click on your ads.

You are worrying about stuff that you have no control over after you choose your key words. Worry about driving traffic as the more traffic you get the more money you should make as there is more chance that someone will click on your ads.

This isn't an adequate position to take. One needs to have a very close approximation of what you can get for a click in order to run estimates on whether a keywords will be worth the investment of time to pursue.

Let's say you have a keyword with a Adwords CPC of $15.00. Based on traffic stats it may be profitable to pursue the keywords if you are getting paid $2.00 p/click on the content network. It might even still be worth pursuing at $1.00 p/click. When you get into the $0.50 range though, you might be better suited hunting for a different piece of property to mine.

You can't make those decisions without having a good gues of what you'll get paid if you put up a site.

Here's what I do. Once I find a keyword in the Keyword Tool, I open up the "Contextual Targeting Tool" which can be found in the upper left sidebar (but only if you are logged into Adsense) and then punch the keyword in there.

This tool will give you info on what Advertisers are paying for that keyword on the "Content Network"...which just so happens to be you when you show Adsense ads on your site. You can guestimate that you'll get somewhere between 50% and 60% of this figure p/click. Not a guarantee though. I have a site now which used to be paying $1.50 p/click and is now down to $0.48 p/click.

The site is stuck between the #6 & #9 spots though and people that click on those spots behave very differently than people who immediately click the #1 or #2 spot....thus my traffic may be less valuable and thus I'm being paid less. Once I boost my site into the #2 spot (can't take #1 as this is a brand name keyword) I may discover that my traffic all of a sudden became more "valuable" simply because of my site's position with the result being an increase in the CPC paid out to me...even though the content on my site didn't change significantly.

The whole thing is very plastic. But you CAN have a good foundation on which to make a decision whether to give a keyword the green light or not.

This is the best answer so far.

One thing I've found in these forums is that few people seem to know how the system works. You'll find many posts about "why Google pays me 10 cents when the GKT says $2".

First, you are a publisher of ads. There are advertisers out there who want to show their ads but at a reasonable price so they make a profit. The program Google has for advertisers is called Adwords. The reverse program for you, the publisher, is called Adsense.

Adwords is an auction. It works by rewarding the best advertisers with lower spend. The best advertisers are those with higher click rates. The auction is very fluid in many different ways so it's ridiculous to think your earnings per click as a publisher or spend per click as an advertiser will be fixed.

So the answer to your question is, you can't know exactly what your earnings per click will be. You could make an estimate based on recent past data of what it may be in the next week or month but it doesn't mean that's what it will be a year from now.

Besides, the earning per click is not even important. Click rate is. If for every 100,000 visitors to your site, one ad gets a 1% click rate and pays $0.20 while another is 0.5% and pays $0.35, which would you rather have? The first one that pays $0.20 per click. The Adwords system works to reward the best advertisers and it's also how Google maximizes their revenues. So let it do its job and don't worry about CPC. Worry instead on getting more visitors.

This information is not disclosed by Google. That being said, you can use free tools to make an educated estimate.

It depends on the niche you will choose and the content. Any results so far?

[adsenselive]

With regards to earnings the closest you will get is to click on 'account settings' in the new adsense control panel, scan down to 'account information' then look next to 'active products' and next to 'AdSense for Content' and 'AdSense for Search' you will see the exact % publisher revenue share Google is paying you - And not a lot of people knew that until right now! Hence all thx's are welcome! (I'd love to know the number/% of people checking out this right now) - try it and see
