[Alizine]

To make it simple, CPC is cost per click and it is the money that one earns through each click made on Google Adsense ads placed on your website.

Below are the ways to increase your CPC -
1. Get Quality Traffic - Ensure that traffic coming to your blog or website is following links or direct advertising that promotes your business.
2. Do Your Research - Research on keywords and utilize the keywords targeted by the higher paying adverts – highest AdSense CPC.
3. The Entire Domain Counts - You can convince Google to increase your average CPC by convincing its algorithms that your domain is an authority on the specific keyword you target.
4. Balance Ad Blocks Numbers with Content Length - Several businesses get better results with just one ad block on short content pages, because all the ads are highly focused on their topic and are of a higher average CPC that if 2 or more blocks were published.
5. Analyze Your Ad Placement - If you think Google will likely provide the highest CPC AdSense to the first ads published on your page, then you might make more by using just one ad block in a position where testing has indicated, you are likely to get most clicks.
6. Use AdSense Channels to Increase AdSense CPC - Calculate the performance of each channel over a period of 2-4 weeks and then design your AdSense strategy on the results.
7. Text, Image and Video AdSense Adverts - While testing and custom channel analysis remember that some people prefer text ads to image ads, and some prefer video ads.
8. Why Google Recommends Image and Video Ads - Image and video adverts tend to pay more per click than simple text ads – but only if the video content matches well with the content of your page.
9. Improving Your AdSense CTR for Higher Online Income - The greater your CTR the better for you – you have more control over this with ad placement than you have over CPC!
10.Using Heat Maps - By placing your individual AdSense advert or your ad block in the most popular areas of your site, then you should get most clicks – a higher CTR, and hence more income!
