Revenue per thousand impressions (RPM)
According to Adsense, the Revenue per 1000 impressions (RPM) represents the estimated earnings you’d accrue for every 1000 impressions you receive. RPM doesn’t represent how much you have actually earned; rather, it’s calculated by dividing your estimated earnings by the number of page views, impressions, or queries you received, then multiplying by 1000.
[the_ad id=”19018″]
Formula:
RPM = (Estimated earnings / Number of page views) * 1000
For example:
If you earned an estimated $0.10 from 20 page views, then your page RPM would equal ($0.10 / 20) * 1000, or $4.00.
If you earned an estimated $200 from 50,000 ad impressions, your ad RPM would equal ($200 / 50,000) * 1000, or $4.00.
Irrespective of any niche, the average CPM earning is $1 to $1.5 per 1,000 impressions. You can make $40 to $60 per day from 40,000 page views.

Cost-per-click (CPC)
The cost-per-click (CPC) is the amount you earn each time a user clicks on your ad. The CPC for any ad is determined by the advertiser; some advertisers may be willing to pay more per click than others, depending on what they’re advertising.
The cost-per-click(CPC) in Nigeria is usually about US$0.11.
AdSense Account Approval
[the_ad id=”19018″]
In order to monetize your website, Adsense has to first approve your website.
I started my blog www.ereporters.com.ng in 2017 and anytime I applied for Adsense, it was always rejected. One of the reasons was owing to copied content. The blog was not approved until I edited some of the contents and also added some pages to my site. I will talk about the pages later.

Create valuable and unique content
In my own case, some of my contents were copy and paste. As a result of that, my applications were not approved.
In order to get approval, you need to create original, articulate, and useful content. I will advise you have about 15 to 30 valuable articles of 500 words or more each on your site before applying.
Put a Responsive Website with a Good Layout
