Simple tricks to increase Adsense CPC/CPM/earnings/revenue
98If you are a HubPages user, chances are you're using Google Adsense? Why? Cuz Adsense is the biggest, highest-CPC program out there today.
What does CPC mean? Cost per click. CPM? Cost per 1000 hits (whatever the M means, I have no clue, but that's what it is.)
Anyways, I have a few small strategies to increase your Adsense CPC, thus allowing you to make much more money than you already were without doing much different than you are doing now.
1: KEYWORDS. Figure out which keywords have the highest CPC and search traffic, using the Adwords tool. Search, search and search more, and find keywords that have high CPC. Then, center your pages or HubPages articles around such keywords. Don't bother with keywords that pay 1 cent, 30 cents, etc per click/CPM. Go for, ideally, the $2.50+ keywords - and ESPECIALLY go after the over $10.00 keywords.
This is THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT part of your mission. You don't want a page that makes 1 dollar out of 6 ad unit clicks - you want a page that pulls 6 dollars out of 2 ad-unit clicks, or 60 dollars out of 8 clicks, or even better. Even if you already have a lot of traffic, you WILL NOT make a nice amount of change unless you are smart with your keywords. Even if you are not an internet marketer, you should still use this.
2: LIMIT THE AD UNITS. If you can help it, don't go having 12-15 different ad units on your page. Why? Cuz there is less competition for advertisers to get ads onto your page. That means advertisers can pay less, meaning Google pays you less. If you have, say, 6 ads on your page, you knock off the 6 lowest paying ads, because advertisers are fighting for just 6 spaces instead of 12 spaces. (This mostly applies on your own sites, not on HubPages)
And if you are one of those tinker-happy jackasses, like me, quit tinkering, set your page to a certain ad-unit setup, and leave it. I've noticed my clicks AND my cpc go down if I'm always tinkering with the type and positioning of the ad units.
That said, if your keywords check out with the adwords tool as being both high-CPC and high-traffic, and high-advertiser-competition, you can probably get away with more ad units
3: MAKE YOUR HIGHEST-CTR UNIT YOUR HIGHEST CPC UNIT. You can't do this for HubPages, but you can do this for your own websites. Use your channel tracker to figure out WHAT your ad unit is that has the highest CTR (click through ratio). That means what are most of your viewers clicking on? Then, make sure that that particular ad unit comes FIRST in the HTML. Whether or not it's at the top of the page is irrelevant - MAKE SURE it comes first in the code. Change your lower-CTR units into link units or move them, or delete them.
I don't make any riches off of Adsense, but just doing half of this so far has more than tripled my income (from about 13 dollars a month to over 40 a month). Hey, at least I'm honest, not lying to try to get you to believe that I make 1000 a month off of this garbage without putting in a HUGE amount of work. For me, Adsense is good beer and gym-membership money. My goal is to make it car-payment money. Will it?

F.e if a page has 0.3 cpc and it doesn't change for a long time, what does that mean? f.e even if you get 300 clicks a day you will only earn 9 bucks a day..
I like that info. Thanks for sharing!
original-- I try my best, and yes everyone does have their moments and these moment can be a challenge but you take it one day at time.
The M in CPM means Mille, that is Roman (I belief) vor thousand.
So it is Cost Per Mille
Great tips. Thank you for the good information. It does take a considerable amount of time to build a good and stable website.
CPM - Cost Per Thousand impressions to the advertiser
Hard to imagine you are actually in this business or in a position to give practical advice

how do you find out which keywords pay the most?
My spouse and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome website!
Thanks for the useful tips and for being honest with your earnings!
Can you please give me an advice in my particular case? I have a blog about house music which has quite a lot of visitors. I have around 150 unique visitors / day (250 pageviews / day), a Google Page Rank of 3 and my Google Ads get around 8-12 clicks / day. I think that is pretty good, but unfortunately my CPC is very low...I usually get just 0.03 $ per click. Btw...I have just 2 ad units on the blog, and the site is: http://club-muzic.blogspot.com/
So can you please give me some advises on increasing my CPC? Is there anything I can do?...or the keywords that i have are just too low paid and I have to find a different topic? Thanks!
When you say "Place the ad units with the best CTR first in the HTML code", does that mean that you "force" them to appear where you want with some css?
Nice post. The 'M' stands for 'Metric'.
I often hear complaints from webmasters about the decrease of CPC on their online resources. People often don’t know why their traffic increases, but Cost per Click is still the same or even begins to decrease. These and many other questions about Google AdSense are actively discussed on various SEO and webmaster forums.
It is obvious that a new algorithm of calculating CPC has been developed by specialists of Pay per Click advertising service in Google.
In fact, there are many factors which influence Cost per Click, and I would like to draw the attention of readers to the most important ones only. First of all, I would like to talk about Smart Pricing. Let’s try to understand what this term means.
Buddy you are bang on target and this was exactly what I was looking for. Actually, a fellow blogger asked me this same question a few days back and I gave him more or less the same answer. Next time someone asks me, i will simply refer them to this post.

The CPC for my stock market blog http://investorzclub.blogspot.com has come down 60% in one month. Can somebody advisw what might have happened here..
Thanks I like your advice and honesty about the reality of what one can expect to reasonably make with this site. I am averaging about $1 a day which is more than I expected.
I have a website http://www.girlsmobilenumbers.com at which i get about 300 to 400 ad clicks per day my cpc ranges from 0.02 to 0.05 Pence (Pounds) and i make from £7 to £21 per days depending on google mood. lolz. without changing content i have noticed my cpc fluctuates so does my income. I want to ask why is that not a single dot changes but every days googl cpc changes for the same pages and websites.
I just went to the Adsense in your city and they said that that having more ads on your pages does not affect cpc.
good ideas........
CPM means click per mille
