How to get 10 USD per click -Garbage Talk?

September 4, 2005

Ok.
Title was a catch up.

I’ve been observing all chaos in Adsense stats more than one year now. Reading your advices and observations here at WW was also helpful and leads to the same conclusion:
Google is intermediar between us (publishers) and advertisers
Intermediar in a bad sense of this word for us. They just buying our traffic for the price they want and
sell those clicks for the price they want.

On the big run this equations is (maybe) 70 % goes to publishers. But in any specific case it is not entirely true.

I will not share with you how and why I came to such conclusions. Let’s say it is my job to find patterns in a sea of statistical chaos.

System averages and estimates the price for whole account for such publishers and what we see in our AS control panel is just bulls!@t. We can’t say definetely even how many clicks (or traffic) You sold today. It is not that number what you see in a stats. It is much higher ( I could prove it but It would be against TOS ).

What does it mean for big reliable publsihers -
they account was established 2 years ago they have perfectly clean history, they have stady SE traffic.
They Score points is high - they just get High salary from AS. Exactly - salary - earnings per month. Not per click.

New publishers - ok. No statistics yet. Simple estimation and guesses - It looks like You get high value per click at beginnig stage. But in real life because traffic and clicks are low at that stage is just small salary divided by small amounts of clicks.

Medium publishers - here we see all horrors and stupidity of smart pricing. For each jump in traffic or clicks trough You gets a penalty. Because statistical averages (several months) shows that Price of your site (account) could not change that much, right? And instead of increasing price per click You see just dramatic drop. Also in your salary check for month.

How to escape all of it? Change to Yahoo or sell ads directly. We all (supposed to) read AS TOS.
What does it said about price per click? Exactly - You will get as much as we (Google) whant.
