What is Google AdSense?
Google AdSense is an advertising company affiliated with Google, by subscribing to it you can as a publisher (site owner) make profits, by placing ads on this site.
In order to understand the idea more deeply, we had to address the definition of Google AdWords ( known as Google ads):
Google Ads is a subsidiary of Google, through which every marketer or advertising advertiser has to get visitors for any marketing purpose, Google ads represent the flip side of Google AdSense.
In fact, Google acts as an advertising intermediary between an advertiser who wants to get visitors, and a publisher who wants to make a profit by placing these ads on their own site.
This is of course through a very smart targeting system, so that ads appear on your site that is compatible with, or relevant to, the content you provide on this site.
The company that organizes the process of buying visitors from Google is called Google ads, and the company that organizes the process of placing these ads on the sites shared in this system is called Google Adsense, and this is the one that will deal with it as a publisher.
In fact, Google's advertising exchange system is not limited to Google AdSense and Google Ads, but here I address the topic from the angles that serve our topic of profit from Google AdSense, by owning a website.

These are the most important ways that Google AdSense offers to pay monthly profits:
What is the profit rate of Google AdSense?
The rate of profit from Google AdSense depends on a lot of factors, here I will list the main ones:
1. The niche of your site
We mentioned earlier, that there is a targeting system followed by Google in placing ads on your site so that the ads fit with the content of your site, and of course, the click price varies from ad to ad by domain.
2. Number of visitors to your site
This is an obvious point but we have to mention it here for its importance, it is obvious that the visitor element is a pivotal element to making a profit from AdSense, so you find a lot of AdSense publishers rely primarily on AdSense arbitrage to achieve maximum rate with profit.
3. Quality of content on your site
This results in the average time a visitor stays on the site, which increases the chance of more ads appearing in front of him.
4. Locations of ads
This is an organizational process that depends on the design of the site and the nature of the visitors, and the nature of the content on the site as well.
5. Number of ad units per page within the site
There are some schools that say that often, the effectiveness of 3 ad units per page is better than the effectiveness of 5 ad units.
6. Geographical distribution of your visitors
The Kuwaiti visitor's click on an AdSense ad is different from the Egyptian visitor's click on the same ad.
7. The nature of your visitors
In terms of being male or female, their average age, interest, and level of education, all of this of course relates to the field you are talking about on your site.
8. Your use of the Allow & Block Ads
This is a feature provided by Google AdSense to publishers, through which you can block certain ads from appearing on your site. If you can block ads that pay less or are not suitable for your visitors, and instead show ads that pay more or are more relevant to your content, it will increase your revenue.
9. Percentage of clicks from total page views with the CTR
Ratio CTR or Click Through Rate: shall mean the ratio of clicks obtained by the ad units to the proportion of the total views for images and the ads.
This percentage is not constant, It depends on many factors, including the length of the visitor's stay on the page, including the relationship between the ad and the content of the page, but in general, this percentage varies on average between 1 and 3 per cent.
In the end, to give you an answer in numbers, the click price in Arabic content ranges from 2 cents to 6 cents (this is the average click price, which is influenced by all the factors I mentioned above).
An illustrative and practical example to answer the question of how much to earn from AdSense:
You have a site that talks about the world of fashion and gets 10 thousand views for its total pages every day.
The CTR rate for your site is 3%.
The average click price for your site is 4 cents.
Based on these data, your total monthly earnings= total daily views of your pages multiplied by the ratio CTR + multiplied by the average click price multiplied by the number of days of the month (30 days).
Applying this equation to our example, the total monthly profits of the site will be: 10000*0.03* 0.04 *30= 360 dollar
Note: This is a rough example to illustrate the idea, but in fact, the results vary according to many variables, even sites that talk about the same domain and get the same visitors can achieve slightly different results, depending on other factors such as the quality of content or where ads appear. etc.
Here we have come to the end of our topic about profit from Google AdSense. I hope the topic is of interest to you and helps you understand Google AdSense and how to profit from it well.
