Today is one week that I changed the ads on my site from Adsense to Ezoic and I will share with you how was the experience and how much I earned in the first week at Ezoic.
First of all, it’s important to remember that Ezoic is learning how our site visitors behave. Therefore, it is common for earnings to vary until they stabilize.
Why did I switch to Ezoic?
Over the last few months I had been studying a lot about ways to monetize the site and make it my main source of income. However, I was having a very hard time succeeding with Adsense.
It seemed that the more I tried to generate quality content and bring organic traffic to the site, the less I could get satisfactory results and this was discouraging me more and more.
Then I met Ezoic in a Google Adsense group on Facebook and like most people who install it for the first time, I had a hard time setting it up correctly.
Ezoic releases a step by step that must be followed to the letter so we don’t leave any detail behind.
But basically, I decided to migrate from Google Adsense to Ezoic to see if my earnings would improve something.
And well, today we will see the comparison of the first week using adx.
How much did I earn in the last week of Adsense?
To make a comparison with my last week in Adsense and my first week in Ezoic, considering that both happened in the month of January 2022.
In my last week of Adsense, which was from the 6th to the 12th of January, as you can see in the print above. I had an income of $12.19.
With 15,209 page views and an average RPM of $0.80.
In this period I used the Adsense automatic ads and had a total of 203 clicks.
The busiest day on my site, was January 8th, where I had 3,510 organic visits with an RPM of $0.74.
On that day, I posted some news related to travel (one of my site’s niches), which “went viral” so there was a steep increase in traffic.
How much did I earn in the first week at Ezoic?
When I finally finished setting up Ezoic, I set the measurement at 50%.I wanted to show both Ezoic and AdSense ads on the site, but it didn’t work out (may have been due to some configuration error).
So my site worked the first three days of this first week showing Ezoic ads only to 50% of the site visitors.
From the fourth day on, I set the mediation to 100%, so it had an increase in RPM, even though the traffic had little change.
Let’s check out how much I earned in the first week at Ezoic?
That said, in the first week at Ezoic, from January 13 to January 19, I earned a total of $15.51. With just over 11,000 visits and almost 9,000 unique visitors.
A 27% increase in revenue even with 25% less traffic. Also, the average RPM went up from $0.80 to $2.22 (this, considering that the first three days of the site on Ezoic, the ads were shown to only 50% of the audience).
What were my biggest difficulties in the setup?
Honestly, the whole process of setting up the site is very simple for those who understand English. Although it is laborious.
So the first impasse that I encountered was the language. I had to resort many times to Google Translator to understand what the next step was.
And secondly, the biggest difficulty I had was to configure the Ads.txt.
Which was a process I had been failing since Google Adsense.
But with a little patience to translate and read the instructions and the help of a colleague from the Adsense group, I managed to set everything up just right.
But I will talk more about these challenges when I write the tutorial on how to install Ezoic on the site. Wait for it!
What is the minimum amount to receive from Ezoic?
The minimum amount to receive from Ezoic is $20. And you can tweak the minimum and choose the value of your choice.
Remembering that the minimum to receive from Google Adsense is 100 dollars.
What are the payment methods of Ezoic?
You can register a PayPal account (which may charge a fee of up to 4%) or Payoneer (which charges a 2% fee on international transactions).
You can also sign up for a bank account.
If you change your payment method after the 26th, you will receive your earnings for the month in the next payment cycle.
Conclusion on how much I earned in the first week at Ezoic
In this post I shared how much I earned in the first week at Ezoic and I believe that for the first week, I had good results. Better even than Google Adsense alone, considering the factors I mentioned above.
The niche of my site is marketing and digital nomadism, so the RPM is low.
The next step now is to increase organic traffic and focus on producing more valuable content.
I imagine that you have a lot of questions about Ezoic, so use this space down here (comments) to open your heart, because soon we will release the step by step instructions on how to configure the Ezoic ads on the site.
