Stalled Ad Revenue?

amberberry 2021-02-26 22:41:36 UTC #3

I have noticed that I get ad revenue only if there is around 200 ad impressions in a day.
I have 1k ad impressions for the month, but I've only got two cents in revenue.

Yeah, I was getting ad revenue for around 100 impressions a day (which was around 2000 a month and averaged about 20 cents), but this month I got nothing : /

Yeah I have no idea how it does ad revenue from impressions--since I don't know if a user with Ad Block may count as an impression. I've only ever gotten like...5 cents total in all my time having it unlocked, haha.

Haha, about same. 6 cents for me

Teira 2021-02-27 06:44:11 UTC #7

Yeah mine is showing up as 0.

I don't think adblock counts. I got slight increase in revenue after I posted about turning off adblock in the author notes of one episode

While we’re here - can someone explain to me how total support works. I’ve had $36 for a long time but don’t know how I’ll ever see that turned into anything real.

If you have over 25 you should be able to request a transfer via your dashboard @Maps

I swear I tried to do that like 100 times but it today it worked. Looks like I’ll be having real ramen vs cup noodle tonight lol!

Thank you.

I haven't gotten any this month either. Maybe there's a bug in the system, or an Update Glitch.

it's not stalled. you need to have a lot of add impression to even get just a small amount of money.

and this is mine

so don't sweat it.

Yeah CPM rates fluctuate all the time, I'm sure the world pandemic's been a factor.

Tapas ad revenue is a joke.

Try mirroring your story on ComicFury and adding a ComicAd banner there.

For example: my novel (Cold Obsidian) and my comic (GWI) get only between 50 and 200 views a day on CF but earn me 10-20 cents a day each, sometimes more.

joannekwan 2021-03-01 18:01:02 UTC #16

I wonder if it yields more in ad impressions because independent companies/creators are paying for their ads to be shown instead of big ad companies that Tapas/WT and other places use that represent a whole bunch of other companies

mcarrowolga 2021-03-01 18:11:13 UTC #17

Yes, ComicAd is for small independent creators. So those ads are not only well-paying, they're also not disgusting and are not spying on you. I like them a lot.

Xentama 2021-03-01 19:23:39 UTC #18

Oh, interesting! Thank you for this info!!

amberberry 2021-03-01 23:38:45 UTC #19

Probably. If the ad budget isn't big to begin with, the creator won't get much either.
I know that for example on Youtube the ad revenue drops a lot in the first months of the year because the companies the advertise have used most of their budget on holiday season and are less inclined to advertise much right after New Year

I've also been wondering about this with mine too. I've gotten a little over 700 ad impressions since unlocking ad revenue and it hasn't yielded a full cent. I know the ad revenue program doesn't give you much but because it's $0.00, I was wondering if mine was broken.

Xentama 2021-03-10 04:08:48 UTC #21

Yeah, I don't know the specific mechanics to getting ad revenue, but I think it has something to do with the amount of impressions you get in a day (or month maybe?? I'm really grasping at straws here >.<)

all I know is that when my daily view count gets over like 90-100 I usually get a cent the next day (except for February when I didn't get anything)

Kaydreamer 2021-03-10 07:36:01 UTC #22

I was about to make this exact post, I'm glad I saw this thread first! I've got about 300 impressions, I thought I'd have like... a cent by now.

Good to know it's not just me!
