My Journey [Monetize through AdSense]

[orzyman]

so if i understand you are using videos to drive traffic to your adsense site?

Wow some nice stats there. I had a semi popular video that got to 190k views and they just disabled my monetisation of it.

Have you had problems of your vids getting money disabled?

Heh, it's kind of funny to see people confused at someone making money on YouTube the white hat way.

Take down those pictures if I was you, otherwise Google will ban you. You are not meant to disclose your CTR rate!

Listen to this man. As much as I would enjoy watching your progress in detail, I'd hate to see you get banned. You've got a good thing going, don't mess it up!

You get views from youtube ? 60k views is nice but your CTR is like 6-8-10 and be careful. They don't ban you with these CTRs only, but they are looking deeply on sites which has high CTRs.

This would be true with traditional AdSense on webpages, but it's different with YouTube. Google counts views of TrueView ads (video prerolls) as clicks, so high CTRs are completely normal and nothing to worry about. TrueView gives high CTR and low CPC, but overall the RPM is higher. If OP were only using overlay ads and disabling TrueView, then the CTR would be cause for concern.

also at first I make sure when I select the Ad's it's only overlaying in YouTube not the "True-In" otherwise your viewer will get bored lol and I learned the hard way (1st week income). But as time goes on then select the "True-In" or whatever it's called option, to maximize your revenue.

I have to disagree with this technique, OP. I understand what you're trying to do, but it's not worth it. The regular overlay ads don't pay nearly as much, so you're just leaving money on the table. Also, the vast majority of viewers are willing to wait the 5 seconds to skip the TrueView ads, so you aren't missing much in terms of views.

Keep up the good work, bud.

this is not white hat. He just download some vids from other sites upload them on youtube and monetise them through Adsense.
He did not created those videos and he did not own all rights to the content in these videos.

I bet he lost his adsense and even his youtube account. Thats why he is not updating this thread anymore....

If you want to lose your account, do it the same way!

Really? I just reread his posts, and now I'm not sure.

You're right, if that is what he did, it's a great way to get yourself banned!
