Traffic Monetization

When there is a certain amount of SEO traffic(such as monthly PV reaching 10,000), how to monetize SEO traffic becomes a more important topic. Gernerally speaking, we can integrate Internet Advertising through advertising platforms such as Google Adsense. This CPM/CPC is generally not high. The Advertising CPM/CPC depends on the content/region of website. The CPM/CPC range of different content ads is between $0.3-$2.0/$0.2-$15.

The purpose of the traffic site is to improve RPM. In addition to advertising, the website can also access Affiliate and sell products(members, courses) to increase RPM.
