CPC- cost-per-click. This is how much you will be paid PER CLICK of the ad. Depending on how much your visitors like to click on ads, your earnings will vary. Most people OVER-estimate the click - through rates of their visitors. Imagine you have a website that has roughly 10000 page views each day, the number of ad clicks you will get is typically 0.1% to 0.5% of the total number of page views. Hence, by calculating the numbers, you will get about 10 to 50 clicks. Now, if you're paid the average market rate per click, that is......10 cents per click, you will earn about 1 dollar to 5 dollars in a day. This logic may sound simple, but lots of inexperienced webmasters set much higher estimates for this click through rate, so be sure you analyze your traffic and visitors well before you're ready to make some sort of estimation for your earnings. |
