What is Pageviews?

Pageviews is the number of times a webpage was viewed. If a certain webpage is viewed 100 times, then it means that the number of pageviews is 100.

Pageviews includes the number of times a single visitor visit a certain webpage in a website even if the visitor simply refresh the browser’s page.

Pageviews is also called page impression.

Increase the Pageviews?

There are actually three reasons why you should work hard for the increase of the number of pageviews that your site generates:

(1) Visitor’s Trust

Having a website with a great number of page views means the visitors stay longer in your website reading your articles and jumping from one page to the other. The visitors might leave your website after reading few articles, but since they found your website interesting, so we can be sure that they’ll come back to your website to read your updates or new published articles.

(2)� Popularity.

One of the metrics used to determine the popularity of a website is by considering the number of pageviews of it. The higher pageviews a website generates in a month, the higher popularity of it.

(3) Money

Actually, there is one thing behind the first two reasons mentioned why you should try to increase the page views of your website. And this is the money. Why?

1. The very reason why your visitors stay longer in your website is because they’re interested in the content of your website and eventually found a trust in you.

   So, this kind of visitors are the ones who will patronize the products that would be promoted in your website.

2. There are advertisers that are willing to pay you for the ads displayed in your website in per impression (CPM) basis, ie. advertisers of Blogbank and some of the direct advertisers.
3. Based on my experience, my revenue in Google Adsense is directly proportional to the impressions of the Adsense ads. And the number of pageviews is almost equal to the number of Adsense ads impressions.

   So, if you successfully increased the page views of your website then the number of impression of your Adsense ads will be increased too, thus, your revenue in Google Adsense will surely be increased. (Read my article, “How to increase the Adsense ads revenue?”)
