Google AdSense, Highest Paying Country in 2012

Last year I published the rank for the highest paying country based on Revenue per Thousand (“RPM”). This is the second edition of this post which cover from 1st January 2012 to 20th September 2012.

As before, I remove the country that I received less than 3,000 visitors for the same duration to ensure the data are more representable.

Basically, the countries are ranked based on Revenue per Thousand (“RPM”) with the highest RPM at the first position while the lowest RPM at the last position. This data is real data from my websites. Your data may be slightly different, but I think generally it should be similar.

I hope these data will be useful, to increase your AdSense earnings by focusing on highest paying countries.

How to Install mod_cloudflare on a cPanel Server

There are many advantages of using Cloudflare, mainly to increase website performance (CDN) and security.

However, when using Cloudflare, all hits to your website will come from Cloudflare IP addresses. In order to obtain visitors’ actual IP address, you must install mod_cloudflare.

Installing mod_cloudflare on a cPanel server is very easy. Just follow 6 steps as below. Please be reminded that this is only applicable if you are using Apache webserver.

1. Connect to your server through SSH and log in as root.

2. Change directory to /usr/local/src

cd /usr/local/src

3. Obtain mod_cloudflare source code

wget --no-check-certificate http://github.com/cloudflare/CloudFlare-Tools/raw/master/mod_cloudflare.c

4. Build and install mod_cloudflare by using Apache Extension Tool

apxs -a -i -c mod_cloudflare.c

5. Restart the Apache Server daemon

service httpd restart

6. Update the Apache configuration data

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/apache_conf_distiller --update

From now on, Apache will log the visitors’ actual IP address instead of the Cloudflare IP addresses.
