Google AdSense Earnings - 5-18-11


Today I give you a wonderful example of how Google's AdSense clicks don't equate to earnings.
  • 1 click on my YouTube video generated $0.79 - That's great actually, I can deal with that all day, every day of the week. 
  • 14 clicks (2%+ CTR overall) and only $0.03 in earnings. 3 effing cents in earnings, are you kidding me? 14 clicks is worth less than a nickel?
Paying people based on a CPM model is all fine & dandy... really, I like getting paid for Impressions on my pages. But to not pay when actual clicks are occurring is ridiculous and dare I say mis-leading (cough "fraudulent" cough).
