@ little light

My point is in the context of “problogging” and not “blogging” in general. That means blogging as a career much like journalists, copywriters, medical transcriptionists.

Actors get bonuses when they hit a certain amount of ticket sales, singers get the same if their album hits gold or platinum… I haven’t met a professional artists who doesn’t want more “hits”.

Probloggers want more “hits” as well.

@ jobert

You’d be surprised a lot of people/organization are emailing me telling me that they take PinoyTopBlogs very seriously.

Hits is one thing, converting the hits is another.

@ arn

With regular contextual ads like Adsense, CPM fluctuates a lot because it depends on the value of the CTR over ad impressions. However, I notice that CPM tends to even up as your traffic increases.

whered you get 41million from? thats a good number though
$7 is quite the norm for direct ad buys on authority sites like inq7.net

traffic is good if it pays for itself, if not it hurts your wallet

Getting there!

Anyway, to get back to the topic… while revenue is good, traffic is also a measure of influence. That influence can earn them even more in real life.

One of my sites (myblog) has a CPM of 0.01 dollars in some days, while my other site (service oriented hosted in blogspot) has a CPM of 207.00 dollars in certain days - the CPM fluctuates. What could be reason for this fluctuations? hehehe because I wanted the 207 CPM most of the time.

US$7 per cpm? Wow that’s a lot.

Truth to tell, I wasn’t really aware of what problogging was all about. I had the assumption it was just a new catchphrase to drop in a conversation to make one look cool.

I guess it’s now the multi-level marketing model for the 21st century. Instead of downlines, it’s hits.

@ Manuel

There will be highly performing blogs and there will be some that won’t. Yes, her main blog might not earn enough for the dedicated server, but it’s not her main blog that caused the hiccup (see PinoyTopBlogs for stats reference).

@ Markku

When the Adsense introduced Site Targetting last year, I already noticed several “direct Adsense advertiser” on my blog/s way back in September pa. I guess you need not look for them, they will look for you. Maybe the more “focus” blogs you have, the better the chances of being targetted. Remember that site targetting spreads across your entire Adsense account and not just a single site.

@ Migs

Ahhh, compadre, I’m nowhere near their league.

How about John Battelle’s Federated Media? You’re in his league.

So where do we get high paying cost-per-impression ads?

Hi Abe,

I read that one of Sassy’s sites hiccuped a couple of times. I’m assuming it’s from the high traffic. Yet it doesn’t earn enough to cover the dedicated server costs.

Perhaps up to a certain point, traffic is great. Beyond that point, it’s just a cost (from a problogging point of view).
