Publisher FAQ
How much ad revenue does a website make?
It depends on traffic volume, niche RPM, and viewability. Content sites typically earn $10–$30 RPM in high-value niches (finance, tech) and $2–$10 RPM in general content. Use our Revenue Calculator to model your own numbers.
How do I increase my website's ad revenue?
The fastest levers: improve viewability (ad placement above the fold), switch to header bidding for CPM competition, and optimize Core Web Vitals so ads render faster. See our guide on 5 ways to increase ad revenue.
What is a good RPM for publishers?
A good Page RPM varies by niche and geography. US/UK traffic typically earns 3–5x the RPM of tier-3 geos. Benchmark your current RPM with the CPM Calculator, then track changes after each optimization.
Which metrics matter most for publishers?
Track Page RPM (revenue per 1,000 pageviews) as your north-star metric, supported by viewability rate, viewable impressions, and session depth. Our ROI/LTV calculator helps compare long-term audience value against acquisition costs.
