The blogging fad had been hot like pancakes in the office , everyone seems to be interested on it ( just exaggerating ) . One of the common topics that just pops out everytime is AdSense . You might have noticed most of the blogs now have AdSense ( if your generous enough please click on my Ads LOL ) . Here is a primer on how to interpret your AdSense report . Im not an expert on the field ,as I always say , I just wanted to share what Google gave me .
Basicaly , the income you get from the tower block is the sum of all the values of each click, less Google's share. That is, it is calculated using the following formula:
Everyday , google gives you a report about your AdSense and it may look something like the one below
Page Impressions (50)
This is simply a count of the number of times adverts have been displayed on your page. It includes occasions when your page has been displayed in search engine caches, so the count may not match your log files exactly. It counts pages not ads - if you had more ad units, link units or referral units on the page, then the page impressions would still be 50.
Clicks (2)
This is simply a count of the number of times that any advert has been clicked on the page - ie: 2 clicks.
Page CTR (4.00%)
This is a derived number: "Click Through Rate". There are often many different ways of calculating derived numbers, but in this example it is most easily and accurately produced using the calculation:
This the rate of clicks per hundred, a figure often used for comparing performance of different ad placements on a page.
eCPM ($6.60)
This is another derived number: "effective Cost Per Thousand" (M is the latin symbol for a thousand). It is often used for comparing ad placements and overall performance of ads or pages. It is calculated using the formula:
The eCPM metric provides an estimate of how much revenue you can expect to earn for every 1000 page impressions. For example, if you serve 10,000 page impressions and earn $40, your eCPM is $4. If page impressions increase to 30,000, you can predict that you'll earn $120 given the $4 eCPM.
Earnings ($0.33)
This is the amount of money that you will be paid by Google, at some point in the future, for the clicks. The calculation is:
Your percentage rate is only known to Google, but if we assume a 70% payment to you, the calculation is:
So there , a primer on what the parameters are . There are lot of articles in the internet that describes these concept further . Perhaps if you want to dig deeper , try visiting the official adsense blog or you could also click here and here for more information .
Basicaly , the income you get from the tower block is the sum of all the values of each click, less Google's share. That is, it is calculated using the following formula:
Earnings = Click1 Cost + Click2 Cost + Click3 Cost +(...etc) - Google's Share
Everyday , google gives you a report about your AdSense and it may look something like the one below
Page impressions 50
Clicks 2
Page CTR 4.00%
Page eCPM $6.60
Earnings $0.33

Page CTR (4.00%)
This is a derived number: "Click Through Rate". There are often many different ways of calculating derived numbers, but in this example it is most easily and accurately produced using the calculation:
CTR = 100 x Clicks / Page Impressions
In this case the calculation is:
CTR = 100 x 2 / 50 = 4.00%
This the rate of clicks per hundred, a figure often used for comparing performance of different ad placements on a page.
eCPM ($6.60)
This is another derived number: "effective Cost Per Thousand" (M is the latin symbol for a thousand). It is often used for comparing ad placements and overall performance of ads or pages. It is calculated using the formula:
eCPM = 1000 x Earnings / Impressions
In this case, the calculation is:
eCPM = 1000 x $0.33 / 50 = $6.60
The eCPM metric provides an estimate of how much revenue you can expect to earn for every 1000 page impressions. For example, if you serve 10,000 page impressions and earn $40, your eCPM is $4. If page impressions increase to 30,000, you can predict that you'll earn $120 given the $4 eCPM.
Earnings ($0.33)
This is the amount of money that you will be paid by Google, at some point in the future, for the clicks. The calculation is:
(The sum of all the click values) x (Your percentage rate)
Your percentage rate is only known to Google, but if we assume a 70% payment to you, the calculation is:
Earnings = ($0.34 + $0.13) x ( 70 / 100 ) = $0.329
($0.329 is rounded to two decimal places in the report, to $0.33)
Assumption :
$0.34 the amount the first advertiser pays for the ad you first clicked.
$0.13 the amount the second advertiser pays for the ad you next clicked.
Note:
Only Google knows how much does the ads cost and it also depends on the location of the ads.
