Hello,
According to Project 24, the average ECPM for it's bloggers is around over $28. For my 3 sites on Ezoic, I am getting EPMVs of only $3, $6, and $7. These are nowhere near the amounts that people are reporting for their blogging revenue of $28 eCPM.
So I'm wondering if this is normal? I'm in Level 1 currently. Are these amounts supposed to increase as we get into higher levels? I have seen a Youtuber mention that you can pay for a premium Ezoic account and get higher revenues. Are my numbers what is to be expected for Level 1? And if so, should I expect dramatic increases in the future with growth?
At first I thought it was just a matter of time for the Ezoic AI to kick in and increase the revenue, but it has stayed at these levels for quite awhile now. I have also implemented all of the best strategies that are recommended by Ezoic. I started with all the manual placeholders, (many of them), and have since upgraded to adding the automatic placements in Wordpress plugin.
I have all of my hosting with Ezoic and everything is cached and running through Leap optimization. I am also connected with all the Mediation and other advertising settings to increase earnings. The only thing I can think of that might cause a dramatic difference, is that I have the setting on balancing user experience and revenue, rather than just maximizing revenue. But, I wouldn't think this would make too dramatic of a difference in earnings (but maybe it does). I just turned on Enhanced AI placeholders two days ago, so we'll see if that helps any at all as well. I also have most all ads, and beta ads set to run.
I do understand that my lowest earning site gets a majority of traffic from India, so it's expected that the earnings are less with this one, but my other sites get most traffic from the U.S., so that doesn't explain why those earnings seem low. And also, if it were just 1 site, I could see that maybe it's the topic, but because I have 3 separate topic sites, it seems that the revenue is probably not being effected by just 1 low paying niche.
I have also noticed that my mobile traffic gets around $4 EPMV, whereas Desktop traffic is about 3 times higher at $12. But, most of my traffic is mobile. I don't see any other settings to help out with mobile revenue though.
Are there any other things to do? Are these earnings expected for my level? Are is there a possibility to have a manager look at and review my stuff?
Thanks!
