110$ per 9505 ad impressions?

AnnaLandin 2016-08-23 17:09:13 UTC #22

The ratio between ad-impressions and earned money has been changing for everyone, AFAIK. These days, it takes more views to earn the same amount of money. I have no idea precisely why (it's not like I know the inner workings of the ad-rev rules), but that's the way it is.

I know @CyndiFoster keeps closer track of month-to-month changes in ad-rev earnings than I do, and is probably better equipped to answer this question!

Hm, here are my current impressions.

Could it be that different ads bring in different rates? (lol I dunno how any of that stuff works)

150k? holy crap, i'm only at 1209...

I'm 100% certain it has to do with the fact that Tapastic is herding their traffic to the app, which doesn't utilize ads (not in the same way the desktop site does), which is causing less ad traffic to the desktop site, thus lowering the CPM, and bringing in less per ad impression.

I know Tapastic is working on that new video ad thing though that lets readers gain coins to spend on creators, but it's obviously not set up that way for everyone and creators will only earn those coins/keys if 1. they've got locked content to spend it on, and 2. they've got a fanbase who's willing to spend it on them.

We've introduced static ads to the app starting yesterday on both iOS and Android so we hope to regulate the overall eCPM.

But yes, up to now, a majority of the discrepancy of for views to ad revenue has been the lack of ads on the app.

We hope that the eCPM increases w/ the introduction of mobile ads as well as introducing a tip function for readers that utilize the ad watching mechanism.

It's great to hear that the regular static ads will be on the app as well! Would that tip-function be something we'd have to sign up for? I'm exclusively a desktop user and haven't downloaded the app at all (my phone is a bit touchy about new apps), so I'm not sure how it works.

wow haha *A * good for you! how many views did you have?

joannekwan 2016-08-24 05:51:21 UTC #29

Overall views? About 210k across all my series so far for August.

onichan 2016-08-24 06:02:59 UTC #30

whaaat ;A; in june i had 190k and i ONLY got 20$! D:

only like a 3rd or less of my overall views have been registered as ad impressions... sometimes its been only like 4%...
i think most of my readers are using the app cos after they introduced adds to the app the numbers have gone up to about 80% again : ) no increase in revenue but what ever

I have 1$ in ad revenue and I'm like yis slowly I'm making it big

onichan 2016-08-26 07:24:39 UTC #33

something is really weird with the ad impressions right now... it doesn't ad up at all..yesterday i had a total of 4660 views.. but somehow 5098 in ad impressions...(and that only gave me $0.77..lol )
the impression per day/view ration has gone up significantly since they introduced adds to the app but it can't be higher that the actually views : P lol im going crazy trying to figure this out D: ahh

joannekwan 2016-08-26 07:44:49 UTC #34

Are you looking at the correct dates? Views are logged for that day, but ad impressions don't show up until midnight the day after.

comicrevo 2016-08-26 07:53:33 UTC #35

the desktop site served 2 ads per view. I think the ad impressions should be higher than the total views. But the CPM rate is continuously 50% or more lower than usual...

onichan 2016-08-26 09:12:22 UTC #36

humm thats true..but it almost NEVER happens : P shouldnt it be higher almost always of it worked like that : P

For some reason I only get 1 ad on each episode. The last one never loads for me.
