Is there anything that I can do to increase my CPM on the Hubpage Ad Program?
I answered a very similar question a few weeks ago. It all comes down to what you write about and the keywords you are targetting.
http://paulkuehn.hubpages.com/question/ … ad-program - read my answer to this question for more details. Sorry I would copy and paste the answer except you're not allowed to do that because it won't be original content....
As far as I am aware, the amount of traffic you receive is irrelevant to your actual CPM. It's all about how those people got to your page (the terms they typed into Google etc to get to your page). Of course the more people you send the more times you can earn that CPM amount....
I am very new to Hubpages but I think I am having fair success after experimenting with a few tricks.
1) This is probably most important because I think it is often overlooked over its simplicity. I think you have to make a very intricate hub which is littered with multiple ads placed all over your hub. I think this is working well for me and I am trying to make my new hubs more intricate.
2) I think other than having obvious SEO, social networking is critical. Twitter will bring people who don't even know what Hubpages is to your article. If you use an interesting hash tag in your tweet, then you will have a very narrow range audience who most likely is looking for exactly what you are writing about! Because of this, I think having a twitter to promote your hubs is critical if you want better CPM as long as the ads are about exactly what you are writing about
3) Obviously a total no brainer, if you really want to increase your CPM just advertise a high quality, low cost item. They may just bid the item up if it is on ebay, or they may just buy something else! Unfortunately I am from CT, and Amazon does not allow me to participate in their program
Thank you all for your answers. It is very much appreciated:)

Hi,I might sound silly for asking this question, but I could not really understand what CPM is (I read an article, but I'm not good with these things). I know it has to do with the impact that my articles have in terms of views. Although I don't know if "impressions" is the same thing as...

Pretty frustrating when I get a significant traffic spike only to see CPM values plummet. My Google Analytics stay steady for the most part as far as page time, bounce rate and things of that nature. Why does this always happen?

This month my CPM for the HP Ad Program is super low. It's been under $1.50 every day so far. And last month I had a lot of days where it was under $2. Wondering why that is and if it's just happening to me or if others are experiencing this as well.
