Making Sense of AdSense

I set up my AdSense for this blog a few days ago. So far I've made $0.00 :) Woohoo! I have had 88 impressions...is that good?

One feature I had a little trouble understanding at first was the eCPM. The eCPM is the amount of money made divided by the number of impressions in thousands and is used primarily by advertisers who might want to put their ad on your page or for a publisher (me) to compare channels.

Channels, I have discovered, are basically the medium through it is advertised which is either a Leaderboard, a box or a type of footer that showcases the ads. So you can set up a channel to tell you how well your combination of a leaderboard and a side box does compared to a leaderboard on it's own. Pretty neat function, AdSense!

So right now my eCPM is $0.04 and I have made $0.00 on the ads that are on my website. I think I'll add more ads.
