To be perfect with anything, you need to understand that from its core. So lets dig inside. I know few things will not be new for you but to get all the CPC tips, its recommended to read this article till end.
What is Google AdSense and how it works?
AdSense is a pay per click program. i.e you get paid when any visitor clicks an ad from your website or blog. The money you get on each click is called cost per click (CPC) and it may differ according to different advertisers.
Do you know how the ads are shown?
Google Adwords is a program, where advertisers advertise their products and AdSense displays those ads on publisher websites.
Now the ads which are shown on your website decides your earning. If an ad is being shown on your blog whose advertiser has not paid a huge amount to Google, then its obvious that you will get less paid if someone clicks that ad from your blog. So to make sure we get paid high for each click, we will have to let Google put high CPC ads on our pages.
To enforce that, the main things here is one and only content. Content plays the most important role in maintaining CPC of your account. Google determines many factors before showing one ad on a website like
- Google scans your page contents for its relevancy.
- The place of Ad blocks on your site.
- Page Value (Also called Page Authority of your blog).
- High CPC keywords, etc.
What is High CPC keyword?
Lets understand this with an example.
- Lets say John is an advertiser. John wants to sell his black polished chair from his e-commerce website. So he opts for Google Advertising, and chooses “chair“ keyword to show his chair selling ads on the websites where chair related contents exists. So Google will publish his ads to the blogs and websites who are having relevant articles about Furniture and mostly chair. This approach is called targeting audience.
- But John didn’t made sales as what he had expected. So he changed his Advertising strategy. Now John wanted to deeply target people who actually want to purchase black chair by choosing “black chair“ keyword. So he customized his ads settingsto show his ads on the pages where articles relates to “black chair“.
In both the above strategies, the keywords chosen by John varied to reach more targeted audience to grow his business.
Now Google will show his ads on some particular websites whose articles are relevant to black chair. Since John is now targeting very specific keywords, this makes sure that his ad is reaching to only interested people and if someone clicks his ad then they are possibly going to become his customer.
But wait. It’s not over.
John enjoyed his advertising because he got only interested customers who potentially became his customers in the same amount what he shelled out. Here comes Google. If John is making more money, then Google also needs to make money. Right?
So now what Google said to John is, if you want to display “chair” related ads we will accept 500$ for 100 ad blocks. But if you go for “black chair” keyword, you will have to pay 1000$ for same 100 ad blocks. Because by doing so John can make more money through his business.
John agrees because just by shelling some more amount, he will get only customers who are really interested in his product. So now his 1 ad clicks will equal 10$ for 1 click but surely one targeted customer for Johns business. Google keeps 32% of the revenue generated through one click so the publisher will get 68% of share of revenue generated. So 1 ad click from the website where this ad was clicked will give 6$ to its site owner(publisher) and his CPC counts to $6.
Means if that blog or website owner optimized their pages and content with “black chair” keyword, then only Google showed the ad where he made $6 just from 1 click.
So in this scenario, “chair” is just a keywords, but “black chair” is High CPC keyword.
I hope you got it.
Now, many other factors depends on how Google pays you more on 1 ad click. The above example was the most basic one to make you aware of the things going in behind in most clear way. If you want to earn more from AdSense, just hold tight and keep reading.
1. High CPC keywords
Write articles about the products which are having very high competition, high exposure in the market and is going to be evergreen. It means that choose keywords which are more profitable. How to do that? Its very simple.
Make one AdWords account and Go to Keyword Planner. Search for the keyword for which you are writing and optimizing your next article. When you search with your keyword, you will get a list of possible relevant keywords which are being used by the Advertisers. Choose the best matching relevant content whose suggested bid is high.
It means Advertisers will pay that much amount if they target that specific keyword while advertising. The higher the bid, the more you get paid if ads are coming on your pages based on that keyword.
For example, I am writing an article on AdSense. When I search “adsense” keyword in Adwords then it displays the particluar result in INR.
