Does anyone see any odd earning data? My impressions are down 300% (December/January level impressions) but my CPM is up 200%. I've been hyper-focused on social media, article edits, and SEO so this is a surprise to me.
There was a lag in earnings so I wonder if impressions are lost and compensated with better CPM?
The lag in earnings reporting in the stats happens occasionally. They were lagging by a couple of days, but they're now showing up to Wednesday last.
CPM we think is an average for the previous day. So a surge in impressions may be on an article/articles, but the impressions may be for ads that don't return high earnings. So when CPM is calculated retrospectively, it works out lower.
CPM generally increases at certain times of the year depending on the type of ads showing on your content. I find it becomes higher in the summer on my DIY articles.
Revenue generated by the new title video/ad possibly appears in the stats at a different time to that from other ads. That's why I think a certain number of impressions is shown with a relatively high CPM around midday, EST, each day. Then the number of impressions increases, but CPM falls later in the day or next day as stats are updated.

I realized that the total CPM is around 15USD but only have 0.44USD in my earnings. Isn't fair and don't understand why! Explain please

Hello everyone, trust your keeping safe. Truly, I have learnt a lot since I joined HP. I have read posts on earnings a lot, and have come to the conclusion that, you need at most 30,000 page views for a $50 pay-out. Translating to 600 page views for a dollar. I've got 300 page views already but I...

Has anyone else noticed a significant decrease in earnings since the site didn't update analytics for several days? Since I've started being more active on here, I was finally up to averaging 200-250 views/day and the past week it has been a steady decline (-50% atm).

I seem to have had a slight boost in traffic the last couple of days. Whether it is HP changes (crackdown on the numbers of Amazon capsules etc.) or a Google change to the algo, or a combination of both, I don't know. I hope it continues, however...Anybody else seeing increases?

I started writing Hubs yesterday. I've been greeted with the warmest encouragement and praise from fellow members and I already have 12 followers, but I haven't earned one cent yet. I have Amazon and Google Ad's set up. I will apply to Ebay and Kontera down the road. Veteran Hubbers, please advise...
