My best and Worse RPM rates by month, what are yours?

[Create_4_Cash]

Hi, I make automotive repair video's and been doing it for almost 3 years now. Trying to find a trend in the CPM (earnings/1000 views) so far it seems the best for me are in March and December, and the worse is in January.

One thing that has been different in the last two years is that in 2013 I had a steady good CPM in August/Sep all they way to DEC where it went up really high but 2014 was different.. right after July it took a nose dive and decreased by 30% and stayed that way until OCT where again in started climbing and peaked in DEC. So my question, which of these trends are more predominant for you guys? Do you see a drop from Aug - Oct or is it steady until than and than starts picking up? I know every niche is different but if we get a few answers here we might see a trend regardless. Thanks,

i had the same drop around aug ( $ 4.61 / 1000 views ). and raised around dec ( $ 5.20 / 1000 views ). and january 2015 i had a huge drop ( $ 3.20 / 1000 views ). now i'm back again at ( $ 4,61 / 1000 views )

Did you have the non skippable ad? How can you get pay so high . I wish.

i wish i knew why i had all my videos on skipable and non skipable ad. But i just skipped te non skippable ads because my views are dropping and i have to figure out why. and i can understand it is annoying to watch a 30sec ad instead of the video.

How did you get the non skip option?

Did it stay around $4.6 from Aug to Dec or did it start a slow recovery and than peak in DEC? Seems like we can put Jan in the worse month section for sure and probably followed by Aug. Need more samples though. Fwiw mine are around $3.50/1000 views and peaked at $4.5 in Dec, I have non-skipable and skipable ads enabled on almost all my video's. Not with any networks either.

Thanks for the reply.

First of all those numbers are insane nowadays for most niches unless you are getting very little views (that does not seem to be the case). I remember when I used to get RPM like that...but that was back in 2011 LOL

Secondly...be careful about the numbers you throw around on here. Adsense TOS states that while you can discuss gross payments, you cannot discuss specifics with regard to various metrics. I've never heard of anyone getting terminated for that but why take any chances?

I found the part of the TOS to which I was referring (I'm just providing this for reference...I meant to add it to my post the other day but forgot):
