What the dataset measures

The reporting window is 2025-10-13 to 2026-10-12. Aggregate RPM is $1.15, calculated from total estimated revenue and total views rather than an unweighted average of country RPMs.

RPM = estimated revenue / views × 1000. Playback CPM measures advertiser spend per 1000 monetized playbacks; its denominator differs from RPM. Both columns below are in USD and rounded to cents.

This selection includes the highest-RPM published market and other comparison markets. It is not the full country ranking. Each country link opens its published data page; the overview contains the complete dataset.

How to interpret country differences

These observations describe the channels and reporting window in the dataset. They are not guaranteed earnings for your channel. Audience mix and monetization coverage can affect comparisons; compare periods and metric definitions before making promotion decisions.

The dataset does not provide separate Art Track or Content ID rates, seasonal percentage forecasts, or campaign acquisition costs. It cannot establish that paid promotion will be profitable. Nigeria is absent from the published country dataset; no Nigeria AdSense country-page link is offered here.
