Which countries contribute the most to a higher Page RPM?

English-speaking countries with strong economies tend to offer the best ad revenue, though some European countries where English isn't the first language also perform well for their local traffic.

Not sure which tier makes up most of your traffic? Your analytics platform's country/geo report will show you, and you can factor it into your estimate with our Comprehensive Page RPM Calculator, or see real submitted data by tier on Benchmarks.

If a large share of your traffic is from the EU or UK, also see does GDPR affect Page RPM, since consent requirements widen the gap between tiers further still.
