What is RPM in New Google Adsense? How to Increase RPM?

New Adsense interface rolled out for all users recently. It looks promising and useful. I like it. This is the first time I’m seeing a different a interface after three years. It’s with more details and easy to understand format with graphs. There are some new factors make confusion in first screen. What is RPM in new Google Adsense interface? Its very simple, “Revenue Per Mile”.

It means, Revenue Per 1000 impressions. So what the difference between eCPM and RPM in adsense?. There is a difference. eCPM is calculated by Page impressions whereas RPM by ad impressions.

 RPM in New Google Adsense

Old AdSense interface shows the total page impressions with adsense ads, no matter how many blocks or units in it. But, latest interface shows the total number of ad impressions and RPM is according to it.

For example,

You have 3 ad blocks on each page and one day you earned 20$ with 10000 Page impressions.

So, average eCPM is = 2$

(Earnings/Page Impressions) * 1000 =  (20$/10000)*1000

What’s the RPM in this case?

New interface will show 30000 impressions, because each 10000 pages got 3 ad blocks.

So average RPM is = 0.67$

(Earnings/Ad Impressions)*1000 = (20$/30000)*1000

Need some prove?

Here is the stats from new interface for today.

For same, old interface shows as below.

Increase adsense RPM

I have three ad blocks on each posts except home and other pages. That’s the different. So, page eCPM and RPM are totally different amounts for me.

I’m sure this will give some idea. I could see in other blogs that they say RPM in adsense is calculated by number of visitors and page views, but actually its from ad impressions.

How to Increase RPM in Adsense?

It can be done in two ways.

1) Reduce the number of ads (not performing) on your blog. Of course it will reduce the earnings, but RPM will be increased.

2) Increase your earnings with same impressions.

  • Very useful and helpful article I learned things that I never knew before. Thank you for sharing it with us.

  • the RPM and click varies on different stuffs for mysite the google adsense RPM is bit slighty more when more different advertisers ads are placed in the site than without them though the difference is small but still worthy 1 thing is each different sites need different requirments nothing can be generalized

    • Still there are plenty of ‘Made For Adsense’ (MFA) sites lead some search results and make good money. But, Google is nowadays becoming very strict against theme. So, better start a blog and target high paying keywords. Publish posts very frequently, interact with readers by comments and get back links.

      Creating MFA sites and stuffing high paying keywords on a web page may not lead to permanent adsense ban, but you can’t expect search engine traffic from Google. Their new rules and algorithm filters may catch your blog.
