Tips for better results

  • Track LTV:CAC — a ratio of 3:1 or higher is a common healthy benchmark.
  • ROAS must exceed 1 ÷ margin to be profitable, not just exceed 1.
  • Ad revenue varies widely by niche, country and season — use your own historical RPM when you have it.

⚠️ Revenue estimates depend on your traffic quality, niche and ad network policies; actual earnings will differ.
