Some calculation about Pin, correct me if I am wrong

Hey guys

I am working on Pin + adsense. when I tried to dig deep on this method, I found something I can't understand.

Let's say I've made a Pin account already, 1M monthly impression. This should be a pretty good number.

The CTR of pins (which go to my website) is somewhere between 0.1-1%, let's take the good one as an example - 1%.

Then in my own website, the adsense CTR is between 1-2%, lets take the good one 2%.

So, for the whole month, the total clicks to adsense should be:

1M * 1% * 2% = 200 clicks / month

For a common CPC = $0.15

That's $0.15 * 200 = $30 per month? and $1 daily?

And, for the whole 1M monthly impression, it's impossible that all are my pins' impression, acdg to someone said (Sorry I forgot whose data it is), 20% self pins are safe, means 0.2M monthly. Even its 10 times bigger, 10M total and 2M of my own, it's only $2 daily and $60 monthly?

Please correct me, thanks.

Hi, can share my results.

1,9m impressions, daily trafic 300 - 500, if some pins go biral about 1k. Adsense ctr from 1 to 2,5, average 1,5%. Average click cost 0,3 - 0,4. So it's $100 a month now.

But i'm doing it only 6 month and cant stop, i will take all from pinterest

Thanks for your share.

May I ask where you put your link? in Bio or on some of your pins/repins?

In bio and in pins. Last 2 month 100% of my pins its pins with link to my website.
But what strange, that one my viral page make 50% of pinterest traffic, so i fear that it's can drops and i will lost about 200 uniques per day. Otherside, if i keep pushing and get bunch of this viral pages i will take a lot of traffic, thousands.

Acdg to your number,

your pin CTR = 500 *30 /1.9M = 0.7%
and daily income is 3$
Pretty close.

So my calculation is NOT wrong .... seems pin+adsense is just like this.

Your calculation is right for adsense but affiliate marketing working 5x more than adsense with pinterest traffic

Do you use amazon affiliate? How many affiliate links/banners do you have per page.

How many pins do you do a day? Do you think that if you create 5 times more pins you would earn 5 times more?

It's NOT about the QUANTITY....it's ALL about the QUALITY!

I agree with you. But in my experience the more I post the more viral pins I have. Because it is higher probability to get viral pins when you post more.

But maybe when you post more than you have lower initial reach by your followers? This is just a guess.

Not if you want more traffic then I advise you to put more effort into the quality of the pin. Also analyze your keywords to capture as much traffic as possible.
