who pays for clicked ads?
I just switched from ubo to adnaseam, and I'm wondering who's wallet is getting hurt by those ads "I" click? the ad company? does the site then make money? if the sites make money, can I choose where I click? I'd like to not give sites I don't agree with anything, but certain news sited I would
thanks :)
You're viewing a single thread.
The announcer (the enterprise on the ad) pays to the advertising platform (for example Google) which gives a small amount to the site displaying the ad.
so by clicking I'm making google pay the site?
You make whomever is advertising via Google pay both Google and the website.
hmm. dunno what I wanna do then. on one hand, I don't want google to make money, but I want the site to make money
thanks for response
If you donate $1, you give the site more tgan what it can earn via ads from you in your life
Far from true depending on where OP lives. High profile sites (e.g. mainstream social media or streaming) can make $ 5-15 USD per user per month if that user is in favourable demographic (mainly living in a rich country, US or EU). A blog without registration will make way less than that, obviously people are viewing way less ads there than sites they stay on for hours, but it's still much more than $1 per lifetime.
Google pays as much as 2c per page view for North American viewers in some categories (but realistically more like 0.5c). So $1 is good for a few hundred page views.
Op wants to give some sites something, and others not. As far as I understood it, this is not about facebook*. This is about random websites
Even if I would use facebook, facebook wouldn't ever get money from ads from me because I don't click on random stuff that pops up on a page. If I'd want to give back something to facebook, I'd need to send them money.
I thought it was about having some browser extension that clicks ads on sites without showing the ads to the user. Like a kind of "best of both worlds" for adblocking. So if it's some blog they read often the ad revenue is probably more like $1 per year.
If you were to use Facebook they can make money off your views even without clicks, just not as much.
Agreed :)
*if you click on ads
Yes, I think that's how it works. The company who hired the ad space pays google, google pays the site that had the ad banner.
If you use ecosia instead of Google for search results, you can plant trees instead
