I’ve shared this info in the post about the differences between Adsense for search and Adsense for content.

I don’t understand finding the maximum payout for a niche. Can you explain in more detail?

Google Adwords tool shows Estimated Avg. CPC for vacuum cleaner is $2.56.

Is that the maximum payout? Or is it 60% of that number or is there some other way of figuring this out?

Thanks,

I experimented a little bit with channels. It looks like (I have no proof though) that if majority of impressions from a channel comes from high quality pages (which are T2 with higher pagerank), then smart pricing (Google lowering your pay per click) doesn’t affect you.

The business and personal account are almost the same, except in the business account you must enter the company name. It may have something to do also with how seriously Google considers you. Just my guess…

“Because the only quality factor that Google shows me about my pages is pagerank, I changed the channels for ads on the homepage (I now have no Adsense ads on my homepage), which has the highest pagerank, for ads on my Tier 2 pages (one level lower pagerank), and ads on Tier 3 pages (the lowest pagerank).

I also need to mention that all my Tier 2 pages got 5.33 times more impressions (more traffic) than all my Tier 3 pages in March 2008.

So what I was saying to Google Adsense was that the majority of clicks were coming from pages with a high value.

I saw the result the next day, with a much higher PPC than before. I was no longer smart priced.”

And what’s the difference between an Adsense personal and business account?

No need. The channel names have nothing to do with your income. You only use them to see which ads perform better or worse.

“I used to set up channels based on the ad’s position; something like “top left”, “left160×600″ and similar notations.”

I name my Adsense channels just like that, you mean I have to change the names of the Adsense channels to improve my Adsense income?
