   Where can I find out what sites give you more buck for your bang?
   
   It's a touchy subject but I would really like to know. A majority of my articles are on Turbofuture, Discover, and Toughnickel. It is obvious that I need to get the 15% on the network sites. I think it is safe to say that Turbofuture and Toughnickel dictate my CPM.
   
   https://turbofuture    63.4%
   https://discover.hu    15.5%
   https://toughnickel    16.8%
   https://hobbylark.c    0.6%
   https://soapboxie.c    0.6%
   https://letterpile.    0.6%
   https://wehavekids.    1.2%
   https://spinditty.c    0.6%
   https://owlcation.c    0.6%
   
   Has anyone completed an analysis for this recently? I have attached my average monthly and overall average CPM for 2023 - Not my earnings. 
   
   I already know it differs by person, but if I could make a little more by distributing my articles to the right sites...... It would be worth diversifying. This post might even bring more writers to my normal sites which I welcome.

      Josh, Eugene outlines it pretty well, which leads us back to writing worthwhile content.

   There aren't any figures quoted by Hubpages, but I think the niche sites for fashion and medical content or beauty show ads that produce the greatest revenue. However not all ads on a site would necessarily relate to the content on the site and would be tailored to what a reader has searched for previously. So maybe CPM depends more on the interests of your readers rather than the sites. I think the quoted CPM is the average for the previous day, so if you get a lot of traffic to articles on sites with low value ads, mixed with high revenue from other sites, that dilutes the overall CPM.

      That is an interesting take eugbug. I didn't think about the ads changing by someone's web activity. I know that geographically the change in what ads can run in what areas will play a big part.

   CPM depends on keywords. For sure, I agree that some niches may have more potential than others but I don't see analyzing niches as a great way of framing the issue.
   
   You can find high and low-value keywords in all the niches and even the low value aren't necessarily bad if you can get a lot of views.

      I agree it's definitely a high-level approach to ask a question. I think if I compile enough data this would be an interesting study to gather some insights. I don't mind going down a rabbit hole.

         Some questions are better than others and I just don't think it's a constructive use of time. But it's your decision.
         
         Sites like Google Adwords and SEMRush have all the info needed, in my humble opinion.
