Understanding the ad revenue result

The ideal ad revenue will depend on multiple factors such as you targets, scale of business, industry, product etc. In general,

• A high ad revenue indicates that your site is generating a good amount of traffic and engagement. A high revenue can also be due to premium ad placements or higher-paying CPM networks.
• A low ad revenue may indicate fewer visitors, reduced engagement, or a low CPM rate. It suggests that you need to optimize your site’s traffic and ad placements, or work with better-paying ad networks to boost earnings.

When to calculate ad revenue

Here are key situations when you should calculate your ad revenue:

• When you are setting revenue targets for your website or platform
• Before signing ad deals with networks or advertisers
• While testing the impact of different ad placements or formats
• When evaluating the performance of your content in driving ad impressions
• To assess the potential impact of traffic growth on your earnings

How to calculate ad revenue (with example)

Imagine your website gets 100,000 visitors per month, each visitor views 3 pages, and that there are 2 ads per page. If your average CPM is $5, you can calculate your ad revenue as follows:

Ad revenue = (Total impressions x Average CPM) / 1000

Ad revenue = (600,000 x 5) / 1000

Where,

Total impressions = 100,000 x 3 x 2 = 600,000 impressions

In this example, your estimated monthly ad revenue is $3,000.
