If you're running a website and want to make money online, Google AdSense is an easy way to monetize. You don't need technical expertise—simply continue creating content and drive traffic to your site. With AdSense, you can embed ads on your website and earn revenue based on traffic. In this article, I’ll cover what AdSense is, how to apply, embed ads, and optimize ad monetization techniques.

What is the operating logic of Google AdSense?

AdSense is an advertising network that connects publishers and advertisers . Publishers link their websites to advertising platforms, allowing advertisers to bid to display their ads on these websites.If a website visitor clicks on an ad on the website (or views an ad), the "publisher" will receive a specific reward for the ad bid, and the remainder will be shared with Google.Since the average advertising costs paid by advertisers in different industries or regions are different, the income of "publishers" will also vary accordingly.The basic operating logic of the entire Google AdSense, and the general process is as shown in the figure below.

Google AdSense bidding rules & revenue calculation formula?

After understanding the logic behind revenue sharing, the two proper nouns " cost per thousand impressions (CPM / Cost Per Mille) " and " revenue per thousand impressions (RPM / Revenue Per Mille) " were derived from it , which is convenient. We do advertising revenue calculations.

Let’s take a look at what they each mean?

Cost per thousand impressions (CPM): Advertisers can set how much they are willing to pay for each 1,000 valid impressions of their ad.

Revenue per Thousand Impressions (RPM): The estimated amount of revenue a Publisher will earn for every 1,000 ad impressions.

It should be added here that revenue per thousand impressions does not represent actual earnings. The algorithm for this indicator is to divide the estimated revenue by the number of page views, impressions or queries obtained, and then multiply by 1,000 as a conversion.

Calculation formula: revenue per thousand impressions = (estimated revenue / page views) * 1000

Through the above formula, we can perform the following conversion examples:

If 50 page views are estimated to generate $0.3 in revenue, the page's RPM is ($0.3/50)*1000, which is $6.00.

If 50,000 ad impressions are estimated to earn you $200, your ad's RPM is ($200/50,000)*1000, or $4.

Okay, a simple understanding of the basic concepts of Google AdSense will help us run more smoothly in the future:)

Associate your website with Google Adsense

Step 1: Fill in the payment information

You will then enter the main page of Google AdSense. The application process is mainly divided into three steps, namely "Payment", "Advertisement", and "Website".Among them, the settings of "Payment" and "Website" are required. We can start with the "Payment" settings first.Then just enter the payment-related information accordingly. It is recommended to fill in the "correspondence address" in the relevant address part, which is where you actually live.Because Google will send a physical verification letter, which contains relevant certificates, and verification is required before payment can be collected.
