Here's a fun little game: What insignificant amount of money did you make off of Ad Revenue from your movie?

Oh boy! Can I get that in pennies?
Really, though, I thought no one clicked those ads.

Advertisers really only pay for clicks. His movies got clicks. Yours didn't?

I think the real reason is because they were submitted before ad revenue was implemented.

Might not be any earnings yet to display. I'm under the impression that movies don't show up unless they've earned some.
Quote from: RomanClock;1647948I think the real reason is because they were submitted before ad revenue was implemented.
If it says next to it "6,000 impressions" as you stated, then it's counted all of those only after you signed up.
And yeah, after some checking out my own account, I'm pretty sure it depends on clicks. I have some content with thousands more hits than other content but with several dollars less in earnings.

Ad revenue isn't made from the preloader symbol alone, but from flash portal and user page ads (which are always running, with or without your consent, might as well make money off of them).

I don't know. What's wrong with an extra twenty bucks in your pocket each month without really having to do all that much differently than what you were already doing?

Quote from: Sinister On Fire Clock;1648427How the FUCK is eCPM counted? I would've thought it should be the same for everybody.
The effective cost per thousand impressions is really of no concern to you guys. It's the way investors and providers can measure the ratio of clicks to views on a certain page in order to evaluate the success of certain ads or the pages they're displayed upon.
Rob's one animation has only 77 views but has earned $1.13 from clicks (really all the ad companies pay toward).
His other may have three times as many views at 257, but the ads have proved far less successful on that page, generating revenue of only $0.04.
Therefore the former movie has a higher eCPM than the latter. For Tom Fulp, the provider, this is a good thing. This movie is earning much more money than another movie of exponentially superior popularity (relatively, of course, we're dealing in the lower numbers here). For the investor, it may have mixed implications.
To you, the content creator, this means nothing really. You really have very little control over it in the grand scheme of things. Not like you craft your movie to inspire people to click on the ads displayed around it.
It's nothing to do with unfairness or favoritism.
Clicks are what earn money.
Views (impressions) really don't matter (aside from in consideration of the click:view ratio).
I may be an advertising major, but this stuff is obvious, guys.
