Are they visitors to your site well Almost but not exactly sessions is a Metric that google analytics tracks and The number of unique unique visitors or Page views number will be slightly Different from the number of sessions in Your analytics and mediavine just Prefers to use sessions for their own Reasons so keep that in mind when you're Checking your stats When you're getting closer to the Minimum required traffic by mediavine And when your traffic is very low i Wouldn't recommend running ads at all Even if you get your site into google Adsense it's just not worth it in my Opinion because google adsense typically Pays very little compared to premium ad Networks but once you reach about 10 000 Monthly sessions on your blog you could Apply for maybe for izoic or monumetric But getting back to mediavine there are Also other requirements to get accepted To mediavine a high percentage of your Traffic should be coming from the united States canada and the united kingdom as Well and some other countries in europe That are also okay but generally they Will want you to have about 70 of your Traffic from the united states That's where pinterest platform can Really help you improve your stats you See even if your blog gets a good amount Of organic traffic from google it will
Be oftentimes very mixed and you'll get Quite a lot of international traffic From other countries where people search In english this can drastically reduce Your ad income because advertisers are Paying a lot more for showing ads on Your blog to american audience mediavine And other ad management companies take a Cut of your ad income and it's in there And also in your best interest to get a Lot more traffic from the united states To keep your ad revenue per thousand Visitors really high and if you want to Learn how to drive more free traffic From pinterest to your website then Check out my free pinterest masterclass I will give you a link in the top right Corner and also in the description below This video and if you already watch that Free master class then maybe you're Ready and pre-qualified to join my Signature program pinterest seo traffic Secrets again i'll give you a link to it As well pinterest helped me not only to Grow traffic to my blog faster than i Could ever do it with google seo but it Also helped me get mainly traffic from The united states because pinterest is Mostly popular in this country International audience of pinterest is Also growing but still users from the United states make the biggest share of The user base on this platform by the Way i made my first thousand dollars
With ads on my blog before the blog was One year old i did mention this in some Of my older videos and i received some Skeptical comments when people simply Couldn't believe it was possible to get So much traffic to my website so fast And i could really start making over a Thousand dollars just with ads on my Blog once i was accepted to mediavine And i totally get it sometimes i see Income reports of people who claim to Make over 200 000 monthly with blogs and I find it hard to believe to be honest i Even found it unrealistic to make about 5000 with my blog when i just started But eventually it went way beyond my Wildest dreams with this blogging Business so the sky is the limit with Time and persistence you can check some Of my previous income reports that i Will link in the info icon and of course Ad income is not my biggest income Stream now because i've been doing this For about four years so i diversified if You want to learn all about the best Monetization strategies that work so Wonderfully on my blog check out my Course blog your way to 10k and the link Will be in the top right corner and also In the description below And i'm going to jump to my screen now And show you the first ad income for my Blog anastasiablogger.com in my Mediavine dashboard i started this blog
In february of 2017 and my first full Month with mediavine was in january of 2018 so it was not even one year old and Let me choose the right dates here in Mediavine dashboard and you will see That in that month i made over fourteen Hundred dollars on this blog and now as I promised i will show you all my stats And what is going on here that makes my Blog with lower traffic earn more ad Income than this blog that gets about Twice more traffic so let me show you I'm gonna set here the dates from the First until the end of november apply And that's the total number for the both Sides My newer blog it's newer Not only the date when i created it but Also the date obviously when it was Added to mediavine first so this blog is Newer It has lower traffic about two times Lower traffic But the rpm revenue per thousand Visitors is like double or i mean it's Twice it's twice higher than for my main Blog I did contact mediavine support multiple Times to try and figure out what's going On they always come up with great advice On what can be improved And One of the reasons initially was that my Main block had smaller font and that
Affected and i also didn't have enough Space Big enough space um between the lines And i did correct that in the theme and I waited for another month and i still Couldn't see a huge improvement uh It still was twice lower than for my Mom's health blog but let's have a Deeper look into the analytics and you Will find that these sites Always have slightly different uh Performance on the sticky sidebar ads My anastasia blogger site is really in This zone of it's called teal when you Have the star here for mom's health i Almost always have it very high But this couldn't be the main reason why It's so different So i had to dig even further and when i Looked at the analytics for the by Countries i found that's why i focus so Much on the traffic from from the united States so you can see here that for the Blog anastasia blogger i am getting About 67.3 Of sessions from the united states then The second place is canada the united Kingdom germany and so on so you can see Here the rpm for the united states was 25.9 for canada it's twice lower and Then all the other countries is even Lower so you can see here that that There's a huge difference between The rpm that you can get
If your users are coming mostly from the United states if i look at the same Statistics for mom's health site I had Let me see I had 85 percent of traffic it's 20 More of traffic from the united states And even so my uh Traffic from the united states and from Canada from all the other countries my Rpms are much higher for mom's health so We were taking even more with media mind Support and what we found it was that The difference that such a huge Difference in rpm could be also related To the fact that on my Anastasiablogger.com site a huge amount Of Content Doesn't show any ads I'll tell you why so you know that Anastasiablogger.com has been always my Playground for experiments with Pinterest and if you go to my pinterest Account you will see that i have lots of Different Topics and all of them are together Under the same brand like under the same Domain so i'm not super niched down with This blog So i have i would say the main category That you something that you can see on My home page it's um it's when i talk
About blogging about pinterest marketing And that's what you will find in the Category anastasia anastasiablogger.com Blogging and on all of these articles in The blogging category i'm blocking Mediavine ads because it makes more Sense for me To keep users on the site and send them From from my articles to my Email list Or maybe to my pinterest masterclass or To my course directly and that's what i Do i have all these articles without Medivine ads so if we look at the Definition of rpm it's a calculation Determining how much revenue was earned Per thousand page views or sessions so If you think about it i get a lot more Traffic on anastasia blogger.com but a Huge amount of this pageviews or these Sessions They are not gonna show any media vine Ads That means that for many thousands of These visits that i'm getting from Google or whatever from pinterest i'm Not showing ads but they're at the same Time they're still counted in my Sessions okay So that means that without doing any Change if i just opened the ads on these Pages it would improve my rpm hugely Because rpm is just a technical number And it comes from the session amount of
Sessions and the revenue earned per Thousand of those sessions many of these Thousands of sessions on my site have no Ads at all And thus my rpm on anastasiablogger.com Site is significantly lower i just Wanted to get back to this number of Sessions because you might be wondering So how did it happen if you anastasia Are um always talking about pinterest Traffic how did it happen that uh the United states traffic on Anastasiablock.com site is just 67 When on my other blog it's 85 percent Why i am not controlling this and why Not improving it on anastasia Blogger.com site So the thing is i still get a lot of Traffic from pinterest but over time This site anastasiablogger.com gained Some authority with google and so this The percentage of this google traffic Increased over the years And it also reflected in the Distribution of countries so with Pinterest you can almost be sure that Your traffic will come mostly from the United states Whereas with google traffic there is Much bigger distribution across the Board across the different Countries so it's a lot of international Traffic and mostly google seo is Responsible for this international
Traffic of course i will not remove my Site from google seo and will not do Anything to hurt my positions in google Just to improve rpm on the side it Doesn't make sense because Anastasiablogger.com is a site that also Makes me a lot of money through selling My course through selling some kind of You know other kind of affiliate Products So there are other monetization Strategies i already mentioned i have a Blog your way to 10k course But today i just wanted to focus on the Rpms and comparing the income ad income For both these two of my blogs just to Show you the insider look of things that You As a beginner you might not even realize How the things really work and so i hope It was helpful by the way i wanted to Note here that i'm not affiliated with Mediavine in any way it's not a Sponsored video mediavine doesn't even Have an affiliate program Because i've been working with them so Many for so many years and they Always proven that they have the best Support and the rpms are really over the Roof this year I'm Seeing in the facebook group for Mediavine publishers people are sharing Even much higher rpms than i'm getting
Like i'm getting an average in november Please keep in mind that november is one Of the best months uh in general Last quarter of the year is usually the Highest rpm but i'm getting very high Rpms and this is not the limit a lot of People are getting even higher rpms and Are super happy with their results this Last year So i wanted to show you more of the Insider look so you know what is the Potential income that you could be Getting with your traffic once your site Gets at least to 50 000 monthly sessions And when you can get accepted to Mediavine i hope you found this video Helpful give me a like if you want more Content like this I need your feedback guys so let me know In the comments if you have any Questions and i really want to know what You want me to publish in the next Videos to make this channel as helpful As possible for each one of you lovely People who are watching me and i will Leave you a couple of videos related to What i talk to you about today check Them out here and there and i'll see you In the next video [Music]
