2. The payment options available on Google AdSense

There are several ways or modalities in which Google AdSense works, payments are generally made based on CPC (cost per click) or CPM (cost per thousand impressions), although CPC is the most common option.

But these are not the only modalities, in addition to CPC (cost per click) and CPM (cost per thousand impressions), it also allows the use of CPE (cost per participation) and Active View CPM (cost per thousand Active View impressions).

– CPC (cost per click). In this payment model, publishers receive a commission every time an user clicks on the ad.

– CPM (cost per thousand impressions). Advertisers bid based on every 1,000 ad impressions, which means the publisher receives the commission each time the ad is displayed.

– CPE (cost per participation). In this case, advertisers select a specific action that the visitor will have to take and only pay if the action is completed.

– Active View CPM (cost per thousand Active View impressions). In this model, publishers receive payment for impressions considered visible (at least 50% of the banner is visible for at least 1 second).

Publishers receive only 68% of advertising revenue from impressions sold and Google keeps the rest, charging creators for intermediating the service.
