Google Reveals AdSense's Revenue Share

Google revealed an important secret: the revenue shares for two AdSense
services
<http://adsense.blogspot.com/2010/05/adsense-revenue-share.html> . Until
now, publishers didn't know the percentage of the revenue that is paid
by Google.

"AdSense for content publishers, who make up the vast majority of our
AdSense publishers, earn a 68% revenue share worldwide. This means we
pay 68% of the revenue that we collect from advertisers for AdSense for
content ads that appear on your sites. (...) We pay our AdSense for
search partners a 51% revenue share, worldwide, for the search ads that
appear through their implementations."

It's interesting to note that the revenue share for AdSense for content
has never changed since the service was launched, back in 2003.

Sevices like Google Search, AdWords and AdSense are usually treated as
black boxes, since Google rarely reveals specific information about its
algorithms.

Google AdSense's help center
<https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32783
> still says that "each AdSense publisher receives a percentage of the
cost an advertiser pays for user clicks or impressions on their ad. This
percentage is referred to as the revenue share. Google does not disclose
the revenue share for AdSense."

Google's financial results
<http://investor.google.com/earnings/2010/Q1_google_earnings.html> for
the first quarter of this year, show that only 30% of Google's total
revenue is from partner sites and the traffic acquisition cost (TAC) is
26% of the revenue. "The majority of TAC is related to amounts
ultimately paid to our AdSense partners, which totaled $1.45 billion in
the first quarter of 2010." Google's partner sites generated revenues,
through AdSense, of $2.04 billion. Obviously, 1.45/2.04~=0.71, which is
very close to the AdSense for Content revenue share.

Google Contact Information

 

Have you ever felt the need to contact Google only to find out that the company that is present everywhere on the Internet is hard to come by?

It feels strange that such a big company has no public support hotline but only email and forum supports. Google support employees exist but their contact information are not available directly on the Internet. It boils down to the fact that they can contact you at anytime but you cannot contact them directly.

This article tries to answer the question who to contact at Google if you need to do so to get your question, request or proposal answered as quickly as possible.
