Google AdSense Revenue
iMillennial Publishers is an advertising-supported publisher that earns revenues primarily from featured placement of sponsored products, services, and ad links through Google AdSense program.
In November, we received our first payout of $102.04 from 7 months of running Google AdSense content and link ads. Several factors influenced our revenue – the gradual increase in traffic since our website launch, the one-month account suspension in July, and our commitment to improving user experience, hence limited yet strategic placement of ads. However, since the first payout, we have observed significant increase in revenue – around $50 for the last 45 days (largely on a CPC or cost-per-click basis).
With continuous innovations in online advertisement technology instituted by Google AdSense, iMillennial Publishers has always kept itself abreast of all optimization strategies, however without compromising positive user experience.
Native advertisement formats complementing content and link ads have already steered iMillennial Publishers’ forecast towards a revenue growth by 50-75% in the next two quarters. As revenue growth comes feasible, operating expenses are seen to increase due to upgraded web hosting plan, security features, virus scanning services, and others.
If Google AdSense ad placement revenue fails to compensate for these expenses, iMillennial Publishers shall employ more aggressive strategies including donation request, content restriction to adblocker users, and other affiliate marketing strategies.
