    "context": "RPM (revenue per 1,000 pageviews, all ad units combined) moves more than traffic does. The same site earns 3–4× more after switching from AdSense to a managed network like Mediavine or Raptive (which require 50K–100K monthly sessions), and 2× more again by shifting content mix toward high-intent keywords. US/UK/CA/AU traffic pays 3–10× tier-3 geos, so 100,000 pageviews is not one number — it depends entirely on who is visiting.",
