  Hey there!

  Advertising rates fluctuate constantly. The online ads system is similar to the stock market where advertisers bid in real-time. Therefore, it’s normal to see different earning amounts. Earnings are affected by many factors, including:

  • The amount of traffic your site receives.
  • Where the majority of the traffic is coming from (North American ad placements pay out at a much higher level than ads from other regions.)
  • How much advertisers value your visitors based on their cookies.
  • How many visitors are using ad blockers.
  • The actual ads that are displayed.
