The Shift to Session-Based Valuation

In 2026, smart publishers have stopped obsessing over Page RPM. The new king is Revenue Per Session (RPS).

1. Why RPM Lies to You

A high Page RPM might mean you have too many ads, which drives users away. Lowering ad density often leads to higher RPS because users stay for 5 pages instead of 1.

2. Optimizing for "Session Longevity"

Implement "Infinite Scroll" and "Smart Next Post" algorithms to keep users on your domain. Each additional page view is a 100% boost to that specific user's RPS.
