Recently one of my reader asked a question about the CPC he receives for each click from adsense. He is getting around 0.01$ per click (yes, its very low). He asked me to check his blog for some suggestions. I found out the possible reasons for low CPC. In this post, let me explain simple tips on how to increase Adsense CPC.

Increase Adsense CPC

What is Adsense CPC?

CPC is ‘Cost Per Click’ in average. Let’s say, you get 0.02$ for one click and 1$ for another click, so your average CPC is (0.02$ + 1$ )/2 = 0.51$. CPC is a another factor in Adsense to decide the performance along with eCPM (Effective Cost Per Mile) and CTR (Click Through Rate).

You must try the possible methods to increase the CPC in Adsense to maximize the revenue. Increasing the CTR also will help, but when CPC is low with high CTR, still there will be less earnings.

For example, instead of getting 10 clicks at 0.02$ CPC ( 10 x 0.02$ = 0.2$), try to get 2 clicks at 0.50$ CPC which is 2 x 0.50$ = 1$, much better isn’t it?. So, your CTR is less ( 10 to 2), but final earning is much better ( 0.2$ to 1$) because of good CPC ( 0.02$ to 0.5$). I hope you got my point.

Let’s See How to Increase Adsense CPC

1) Concentrate on Keywords, niche and topic

Not all types on content shows the same types of ads. Advertisers pay(bid) more money on particular keywords which will pay good CPC. You must find out the high paying keywords for your blog topic and write about or include them in your blog posts. Google Adsense robots scan your content before display ads, if they find the valuable keywords and useful content, then Google will serve high quality ads.

This doesn’t mean, you have to write only about high paying keywords. Getting search engine traffic to high paying keywords is very difficult since it will have more competition.

You write what you know and like to write, but keep in mind about high paying keywords and include them in few places.

Also, you have think about the potential advertisers and competition of the topic you write. Let’s say you are writing about free stuff, then you may possibly get less CPC, because none of the advertisers will pay high payout for free stuff which they can’t sell. Keep in mind!, each advertiser who is advertising though Google (Adwords) which display as Adsense ads in our blogs, need our visitors to their product page and convert them to sale, registration, or any action.

2) Enable Image and Text Ads.

Some people do not like image, Rich media ads in their blog posts, because they expect adsense ads to show like a link (text link). In my experience, image and multi media ads works well in all the places. If you have Text only ads, make them to image and text. You can see the different in next two weeks. I experimented several times and several places, then decided image and text ads works well. Google highly recommends Image and Text ads.

Here are the few reasons,

Image ads are likely to be clicked (High CTR)
All famous advertisers and product owners like to show their brands and products as an image or rich media, so this might bring quality ads and good CPC.
Only one image ad can be shown at a time instead of showing 3 to 4 text ads. This may possibly a good CPC ad.
More advertisers will target your ad slots directly if you allow image and text ads though Adwords or Google Ad Planner.

3) Too many Ads – Less CPC

Are you using all three adsense ad blocks? if yes,is it balancing your each post content?. I recommend to use all three ad blocks if your blog posts are long enough to accommodate these slots and with valuable keywords available to feed Google adsense robots.

If your articles are too short and not having rich keywords, then Google will struggle to show relevant, high paying, and interested ads for the visitors. At the end, you get clicks but no earnings because of low paying, non relevant and some times public ads too.

4) Monitor your Higher CTR Ad with Custom Channels

Channels are very important here. This gives the clear idea of which Ad slot is performing well, measure CPC, eCPM , CTR and earnings of particular ad block. Create custom channels for each ad slot in your blog and monitor the performance for two weeks.

How this helps in increasing Adsense CPC?

Remove the low performing Ad slot from your blog ( Decide by CTR and final earnings) for testing purpose. Now, Google may serve better ads to other two ad slots which is performing well, so your earnings will increase.
Go to Next point.

5) First Ad unit in HTML Code Serves better ads

You may have one ad in header and other one inside post content, which ad will load first in your blog page? Obviously the ad in header, because that is at the first place in HTML code. Normally Google servers quality and high paying ads to first ad slot in a webpage, so in this example, it will be the header ad.

So, the next question is, is your header ad getting good CTR? here is the clash. When your ad block inside content is getting good clicks (higher CTR) than header ad, but still Google will server good ads in header. So you are wasting some of the possible clicks here.

To fix this issues, Google suggests to ad your important ad slot inside div tag, which is explained clearly in Google help page here. Adsense robots will serve highly quality ads to the block with div tag no matter where it is located in HTML code. Use div tag to the good performing block which you decided by custom channels in early step.

6) Reduce Accident, Fraud and Useless Clicks

Don’t think you can make good money by clicking your ads from different IPs, ask your friends to click and anything like it. Google is very smart to find out these types of clicks and they will ban your account. Also, just clicking ads and closing the advertisers’ page immediately will be notified to Google. Google is much concern about their advertisers also, if your all clicks work like that without any benefits to advertisers what they expect, then Google might put your website in lower place where low quality ads will be served.

In long term plan, make sure Adsense ads are look like advertisements in your website and your visitors are interested and clicking ads to visit advertisers page purposely. Do not blend too much with your theme and expect some accident clicks. You can’t survive with accident, fraud and quick browser closing clicks in long term with Google adsense. This definitely effects the CPC, when your blog visitors converted well by advertisers with quality clicks, then you may get quality high paying ads.

There are few more techniques available to increase Adsense CPC, I think it will be useful once your blog started generating good traffic. I will publish them later in this blog. Stay tuned.

Believe me, a blog or website need time to generate reasonable income from Adsense. It’s not easy, but very much possible. The reader on mine, who contacted me, is having one month old with good traffic and by average he get 4 clicks per day which is very impressive. But it will take some time to earn stable income with Adsense.

Here is the real example, when I look back one year ago exactly on March 2010, my monthly earning was 33.59$.

How to Increase Adsense CPC

Here is the current earning exactly after one year, around 550$ monthly with same single Blog.

But i donot know how it came in affect of google sandbox … I think coz of blackhat seo methods which i used in the form of keyword stuffing and backlinking. Waiting for any suggesting if u have coz this is another prob young newbies are facing.. Thankyou ..

Dinesh says

Google’s sandbox effects most of the new websites, even I think my this DailyBlogMoney blog is still in sandbox, but I don’t worry. I keep on writing and I never worry about sandbox.
Yes, initially it will be tough to blog without Google traffic or losing search engine traffic.
But one day your site will be out of it, that time your earlier content will drive good traffic.
Good luck.

Glad to see the real working example.
Ups and downs will be there in the earning always.
Do not publicly tell your earnings with clicks which is against Google Adsense TOS.

Good luck, happy blogging.

How to Automatically Get Subtitles on VLC for Movies, Videos and Songs

Getting the Subtitles for your movies aren’t that much hard in the Internet. Google can bring you the best subtitle websites for your digital media collections. Also, you can directly search and get the subtitles for any movies in any language in Subtitle collection sites like opensubtitles.org.

You don’t need any introduction for the VLC Media Player.It is the most popular and most downloaded, open sourced multimedia player. VLC is also my favorite video player. I’m the big fan of Online Music streaming services, so that I don’t any other extra players than VLC. It provides a lot of features to give the best video watching experience to all users.

VLC also supports subtitles feature, you can load many formats of subtitles like .srt, .sub,.rt. However, VLC Player can’t search and get the Subtitles for you automatically. It will be perfect, if it finds the subtitles for playing movies.

VLSUB is an extension for VLC Player that can search and download the Subtitles from the opensubtitles.org using the name of the playing movie.

How to Install the VLSUB in VLC

1. Download the VLSUb file from the Github page and extract the VLSB_MASTER folder. In the extracted folder, you can find the vlsub.lua file.

2. If you don’t have VLC Download it from here and install that. Now, Move the vlsub.lua file to the VLC
Extensions folder. I’ll show you how to move that file to correct the folder.

Just save the vlsub.lua file “vlc /lua/extensions” directory of your OS


Windows (all users): %ProgramFiles%\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\extensions\
Windows (current user): %APPDATA%\vlc\lua\extensions\
Linux (all users): /usr/lib/vlc/lua/extensions/
Linux (current user): ~/.local/share/vlc/lua/extensions/
Mac OS X (all users): /Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/share/lua/extensions/
Mac OS X (current user): /Users/%your_name%/Library/Application Support/org.videolan.vlc/lua/extensions/

For Example: if you have installed the VLC in Windows OS in Local Disk C:, the path to store that vlsub file is C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua

How to Get Subtitles in VLC Media Player

3. Now, Open the VLC and Play any video and open the VLSUB from the menus, View-> VLSUB0.9 option. Look at the screenshot for subtitles of I am Legend Movie above.

4. In the VLSUB window, You can choose the language of subtitle and search with “Search By Name” and “Search By Hash” Options. When I have used the Search by Name Options, it may return many results, but the Search By Hash returns only minimal best results.

5. Once VLSub finds the Subtitles, you can highlight and click download selection to load that in the current playing movie automatically.

Download VLSub Extension for VLC
