What is Google AdSense?

As the name suggests it is an advertising service provided by google though which bloggers and website owners can display ads through videos, text or images in their website and earn money through clicks or impressions as per the rules.

So the more visitors you have the more are the chances of click which leads to more earning. Therefore I would suggest that before you apply for AdSense make sure that your website is at its optimum best in terms of its content, look and quality which can get you more and more viewership.

Now, before we go deeper lets discuss a few terms which are used in context of  google AdSense.In other words you can also say that these are the ways in which AdSense earning are calculated.

1. CPR– (Click through rate) it is the number of clicks you receive for every 100 ad impressions. There is a formulathrough which it’s calculated. i.e. no. of clicks/ad impressions x100.
2. CPC–(Cost per click) as the name suggests it’s the number of times the visitors click on the ad’s. It’s the advertiser whosets the rate (CPC) and thus your income varies according to the rate of each advertisement.
3. CPM-(Cost Per thousand impressions) it is the amount the publisher pays for per 1000 impressions clicked by the visitors. This is the most commonly used payment method so far.
