How Much Do You Make When Someone Clicks Your Google AdSense Ad?

The Google AdSense blog published an article on Monday finally revealing how much publishers made from AdSense ads. Until Monday, I’ve only been able to speculate how much money was made from AdSense and how Google determined how to split the revenue from clicks from the ads. Some of the ideas I’ve read about explained that your commission percentage depended on several factors that included how they arrived to the publisher’s site (via Google, direct, or referred) and the quality of the content on the website; plus more.


So the cat is out, here’s how much money you can make by placing AdSense ads on your website:

68% – Publishers who place AdSense on the websites, which is referred to as the content network, make 68% of the cost advertisers pay Google for advertising.

51% – Google’s Search Partners, which include sites like Amazon, Ebay, etc are paid 51% of the cost advertisers pay Google for advertising.

Google AdSense: How Much Money Do You Make From 1 Click?

Your click earnings is determined by percentage, yes. But, it is also determined by the content on your website/blog because the way Google AdSense ads work is that it displays ads that are relevant to the page content your ad appears on. There have been times when I only make $0.01/click but other times when I make $6.75/click. How much money you make in a month from Google AdSense will depend on your content’s reach and your niche.

      Hi Jia, yeah I actually recorded a $10+ click last month. What I can tell you is how to find out higher paying keywords. If you run adwords or adcenter, you can find out the minimum first page bid for specific keywords. But if you dont, there’s a tool called http://www.spyfu.com and this website will give you an idea of how much people are bidding for a particular keyword. Obviously, you can’t control which ads appear on your website but you can control the content that you publish on your website. So, if you’re website is about a niche keyword that have really high bids, then Im sure you’ll have no trouble increasing your average click earnings. One thing to note is that these tools show you a bid range. I don’t know if these tools include bids that people use to promote their ads in the content network.

    It’s amasing the variation in the value of clicks. What i can’t work out is how i get clicks that are worth less that 0.01c.

    Thanks John
