Hello,

I am using Google AdSense ads. I have one question about differences for US clicks and international clicks from Google AdSense. I mean how important is one click from US and many clicks from other countries like Philippines, China or others.

I can bid for 5 cents per click from China or Pakistan while I have to pay like 40 cents per click from US.
That means I can get 8 clicks from China or Pakistan but only 1 click from US.

In terms of SEO, is it better to get 8 clicks from China or Pakistan or just 1 click from US?

Thanks very much!

The original question mixes two different things: buying clicks (Google AdWords/Google Ads) versus earning clicks (Google AdSense). As noted, the mechanics are not the same. Several posters (, , , ) correctly observed that US clicks often command higher bids, while others (, ) emphasized that value depends on the target market. The useful distinction is revenue/value per visit, not raw click counts.

Why US clicks tend to pay more: advertisers bid by market and vertical, so markets with higher competition, stronger purchasing power, or higher conversion rates usually produce higher CPCs. AdSense revenue per click is set by advertiser bids for the ad impression; AdWords/Ads cost to acquire a visitor depends on competition and targeting. Cheap clicks from low-CPC countries can be fine when they convert into real customers, but low-cost traffic also carries a higher risk of poor engagement or invalid clicks. There is no reliable public evidence that buying lots of low-value clicks will improve organic SEO; search ranking is driven primarily by content relevance, links, site quality, and technical factors. Engagement metrics and conversions matter for business outcomes, so measure those instead of counting clicks.

Practical evaluation and next steps:

  • Define a value metric (revenue per visit, conversion rate, lifetime value) and use Analytics to segment performance by country.
  • Compare eCPM/RPM for AdSense and CPA for paid campaigns; optimize toward profit per visit, not raw clicks.
  • If the product/service is US-focused, use geo-targeted ads and localized landing pages; if global, localize language/currency and implement proper hreflang/international targeting.
  • Never buy traffic solely to inflate AdSense; monitor for invalid clicks and follow Google policies.

Bottom line: one high-value US visit can be worth many cheap clicks if it converts. Decisions should be driven by conversion value, audience fit, and long-term ROI rather than headline click counts.

You are using Google Adwords to purchase ads not Google Adsense. If human beings are clicking your ads for the purpose of buying your product or service then 8 clicks are better than 1 doesn't matter where the traffic derives.

Yes it is good for your site or blog gettting traffic from other countries also this is also good for SEO. If your site gets good trsffic then your site automatically optimising early and then also getting audiences from US.

US traffic is considered to be of high value that is why their click rates are high.

I don't know what is so special US Markets. Your Bidding should depend on the market you want to sell your products and / or services.
