Same earnings. Different RPM. Why?

Check the counts behind your ad report. Pages, ads and ad requests are different things.

Measured against Your own report totals. We show the maths and keep unknown values blank. the data

One earnings total can give two different RPMs. The difference is what you count: pages or ads shown. Use matching dates and the same currency for every figure.

    Page RPM = earnings ÷ pageviews × 1,000. Ad impression RPM = earnings ÷ ad impressions × 1,000.

    Page click rate = ad clicks ÷ pageviews × 100. Ad click rate = ad clicks ÷ ad impressions × 100.

    Coverage = requests that returned ads ÷ total requests × 100. Ad impressions are not matched requests.

    We cannot work out what an advertiser paid, or their price per click, from your total earnings.
