I'm Rethinking about google ads

[Lakshmipathi]

ok..my site is up for almost 10 months now, I have applied for it. I'm getting approx 1000 visits/month and about 2000 page views....any guess how much it will fecth?
Not much for sure - (and if anyone willing to reveal how much you earn with google ads? )

I've always found with these sorts of things that they don't generate enough revenue to justify having. I have used a few over the years from Ask.co.uk to Google Ads and have risen very little

The largest site I ran which was getting a little more hits than yours currently receives paid less than £10 (More like £5) for the few years that it was running

However, the money generated from sites such as Google and Facebook are obviously substantial so if you’re willing to spend the time targeting your adverts you will get a better response

Don’t forget that a lot of people use things like Adblock Plus and proxies to filter out adverts recently as well

That's what i hear from most people,earning is very little.

Is it 5-10 pound for year? or month?

What I'm thinking is ,if the site fetches something around 2000RS (approx 50 USD ) that will help me to pay the web hosting bill for an year

That was over a few years I'm afraid. If you don't mind the adverts being there, sticking them up and leaving them for a year making you 100RS is a 100RS bonus towards your hosting costs

I guess it comes down to your users and whether they (and I'm sure yourself) will be clicking. You could just give it a go and see how much revenue you pull in over a few months to decide if you would rather have a cleaner page design or cash in and make your website earn you some money (or at least chip in to it’s running costs)

[Lakshmipathi]

(and I'm sure yourself) will be clicking.

oops !! no i won't be clicking it for sure.

that was over a few years I'm afraid.

Years? for a 10 pound. That's nothing. I don't think 100RS will make any difference , I can ran it myself . Though I would ran it couple of months and if I feel it provide annoying ads not revenue,then I'll just revert the site back to present look without ads.

[Kieren]

That's probably the best way - just keep a backup of your current template and remember if you end up with the next Google/Facebook money making machine you could always chuck some money my way :P

ha ha .. Yeah..surely

I have Google AdSense on my site. Even with as low a traffic footprint I have, I still get about $100 every six to eight months, which is all I need to justify having them. I started the ads to pay my hosting costs (which are around $80USD a year) so it pays for itself.

I hope for something like that. If I can get something around 20-50$ ,that more than enough for me to run the site for an year.

Since you have already experience on it ,I need some basic details (I read the docs ,but unable to understand them completely)

For example , If have report like

Page Impressions  	Clicks  	Page CTR  	Page eCPM [?] 	Earnings
114   	                     1 	0.88% 	          $0.72 	                  $0.08

What's meaning of above stuff?

clicks - No.of times users clicked on adsense url
Earning- money.
Page impression - how many times page displayed the ad.

What about the remaining two(CTR and eCPM) ? How those things work?

[Kieren]

It's been a while but I think CTR is the percentage of people who have clicked on one of your adverts and eCPM is the expected earnings you will have at the end of the month if the current trend of visitors clicking adverts continues
