I just logged into my Adsense account and saw that yesterday, I earned $36.25 for one click at one of my less trafficked sites.

Woohoo!

This is the highest amount of money I've ever made from one click. Just so you know, this comes from a page on a general information site. The content on this site is mainly articles I got from directories, and not my own content.

This particular Adsense page has financial information on it. I'm not telling what type, though. :p

What's your highest earning Adsense click?

      Sometimes these high prices happen when someone is testing on Adwords. Maybe its a new advertiser testing the waters and willing to pay top dollar. My usual clicks for this niche are good, but in the normal range. I don't expect to get another payout like this anytime soon.

    There is always a newbie into the Adwords world and probably this is why you got a such a high click.

      Yes, I'm very sure. I copied the page on my account so I can remember it. When you get a click worth a lot of money, you stare at it for a while.

      you can start reading (and learning) from the threads here in Warrior Forum.. be aware that you get to have some information overload.. just take it easy, and you'll start to have some basic ideas on the concept of the Adsense program.

      Getting a click for $36.25 is due mostly to a newbie to Adwords more than anything else.

      However, there is a way of increasing the chances of getting high priced ($1+) clicks.

      I created a niche blog recently in a subniche of the auto insurance niche. And what I did was target about 5 keyword phrases within that subniche that have CPC values over $15.

      The CPC value (cost per click) is the amount of money an Adwords advertiser is paying to get their ad into the #1 spot. I generally estimate that I will earn about 10% to 25% of this value when someone clicks on an adsense ad optimized for the keyword phrases I am targeting.

      So if a particilar keyword phrase has a CPC value of $20, I estimate that I will make between $1.00 to $2.50 each time someone clicks on the ad.

      It's not an exact science, but it has totally changed things for me. Before, I was getting mostly $0.05 payouts for the clicks I was generating.

      With my auto insurance niche blog targeted at just a handful of keyword phrases with CPC values above $20, I have not gotten a single click for under $1.00.

      I just checked my stats and the lowest click payout was $1.41. My highest click payout was $3.34. And the average amount is $2.54.

      Getting 5 cent clicks sucks! By focusing on keyword phrases with higher CPCs, you should increase the chances of getting higher click payouts.

      Hope that helps.

        Experienced Adsense web publishers usually don't reveal specific niches or websites we profit from. Less competition, the better.

        Finance is a big niche. Think about what topics can fit under this category. If you want to be successful, learn how to research niches.

        Mortgage website. But I have to add .. that was a long time ago .. when the minimum payout I've seen across all my adsense websites was $0.17 - $0.2

        Those were some fun times.

    This is great. OK many years ago, in the beginning of adsense I got $21.71 for one click! I thought it was a typo, but no, I got paid. Sadly sadsense clicks now generate pennies. Hope they rejigger the algo so we get more money.

    I got a $39 click once, and have had a large number of $20-something clicks, mostly on insurance-related pages. It's only by catching the first click of the day that you see it because all other clicks after that, in my cases, were for much less money and watered down the average. There has NEVER been a case where I even came close to these large amounts for averaged clicks on the same page.

    I will only believe it when I see it!

    Will you attach a screen shot of that click? That would get me excited, otherwise.... it means nothing, just a bunch of words that anyone can claim, and could be false (no offence )

    I'm sure everyone here would love to see that adsense figure for a click! Even if it's not theirs

    So come on, share the wealth

    Thats an incredible amount of money for a click. There are clickbank products that dont even pay close to that. The highest amount I was paid for a click was a little over $6 last month.

      My highest Adsense click was $6.

      One of my sites consistently average $.80 to $1.50 depending on the time of month, but the average of the other sites is a lot lower.

    Congrats on the big-money click! Certainly puts your faith back in the old phrase, "All it takes is one." In my business, I've found that a lot of professionals take a sabbatical in December. Translation ==> they have more time to cruise the ad copy and follow the links. Again, good for you. Happy for ya!

    Really good. $1 - $2 is avarage for a good keyword I think. People should not get carried away with this post. $36 is brilliant. Funny, if you want to advertise those keywords in adwords you would not get any keyword under $4, but somehow, webmasters do not get that sort of money.

    While I average $2/click, I have many sites that routinely get $5-$10/click. If you target the right keyword phrases, and your site is properly optimized to convert the top ad, you can see $2-$5 clicks all day long.

    Most of the highest-paying clicks revolve around lead-gen keyword phrases for the types of leads that companies routinely pay $50-$500 each for i.e. legal claims, financial investments, time-shares and other RE leads, etc.

    If you are getting traffic for the keyword phrase "How to cash in my settlement", "where to buy/sell a timeshare", etc., you will see those $15+ clicks on the #1 placement ads.

    I don't read the 50 posts prior to this... So boohoo.

    Let me take a guess... you're into Legal!

    I've got a couple of newer sites that show CPC for the keywords I targeted and rank for at $75+ So conservatively I'd go with a $50 click. LOL!


    Legal Legal! Low traffic, insane dollars per click! But I don't use Adsense.

    CHEERS!
