how much someone is paying per adsense click?

[swollenpickles]

How can you work out how much someone is paying per adsense click?
For example, ads for this ( Helium - Where Knowledge Rules ) keep appearing on my site, and I'm guessing they aren't paying much, but how can you tell for sure?

Do you have tracking software installed like adlogger or asrep?

Even with tracking software there is no surefire way to tell that I know of but you can make some pretty educated guesses.

They are probably default ads.. kinda like ebay, amazon, nextag, etc. They pay next to nothing and appear on the search, partners, and content networks for years already. Although, sometimes you can get as high as $0.30/click from the defaults if the keyword is known to be a bit pricey, but usually they suck.

is there anyway to get rid of defaults? Or does this just come as the googlebot crawls your page?

No but I'll do a google search for those programs and take a look. Thanks

adsense setup --> competitive ad filter

adsense setup --> competitive ad filter

the competitive filter is great; however don't put to many in there to make your ads not relevant to your site.
