eCPM

Cost per thousand. So I had a misconception on what eCPM meant, I thought this meant the cost that Google was charging the Advertiser to publish the AdSense Ad. This is not the case, so don't think that your getting the raw end of the deal with AdSense.

When reviewing you AdSense earning eCPM stands for cost per thousand. This figure is a calculation of how much an Advertiser earns in comparison to a thousand impressions. Let's say that you have an ad that earns a publisher $200.00 but takes 50,000 impressions to earn the $200.00. The eCPM is the difference between dollar and thousands of clicks, IE 200/50 = 4.00 eCPM.

Tracking AdSense, in Blogger

AdSense has an easy tracking method by site URL. So if you maintain multi sites you should be able to track these sites through AdSense using the URL Channel. Turns out as soon as you use blogger they don't allow you to use URL Channels. Blogger also does no allow custom configuration to add a custom channel. I'm looking for the trick know and I'll post when I have a good solution for tracking either individual adds or custom URLs in AdSense using Blogger.

Bad Ads

On an occasion you'll notice that your AdSense Ads are so unrelated to your content that they stick out like a sore thumb.

Google is constantly analyzing the sites that it archives, so don't panic if this a new site it's likely that Google has not had a chance to spider the content to find relevant ads for your site.

Wait roughly two weeks before being concerned about the types of ad placed by Google AdSense.

If it really concerns you can limit the ads and configure the ads differently. For the most part the ads will come in line with your site in a few weeks.

Check the content of your website and very the quantity of keywords and their placement on your side. Keywords which you want the Google spider to pick up on should be in heading tag at the top of each content section. Don't flood these areas with false keywords the spider will recognize.

Write your content in a user friendly way that helps the user easily see the subject of the post or article. if it is not obvious to the reader the spider will not understand it either.

AdSense Skeptic

I started working with AdSense in my blog just over a week ago. I am an avid blogger but I have never attempted to advertise on any of my sites. The first thought of this was that it would distract from the readers intent in reading one of my posts. I primarily post technical information, from tutorials to self help. I post almost completely for my own learning experience. I find that by blogging things I have learned I build better building blocks to remember it. So when I add AdSense to my blogs I was surprised to see how many people truly visited my blog and followed through to an AdSense blog.

Needless to say this has given me a renewed will to build on my own blog content. Not only can I enjoy learning and teaching new things I can also make it profitable.

If your looking to build your AdSense income, stay tuned to my posts and I'll let you know what works on my blogs.
