I don't know what to think of it. Starting Tuesday of last week, Adsense revenue suddenly dropped, and has stayed the same going into this week. I get the same amount of page impressions, and the same amount of clicks, but I'm making half of what I was making two weeks ago. My websites are getting more traffic than ever. Is anyone else having this problem, and if so can they offer any explanations?
I think earning might be down to the olympics in your case, even though for me they are going up and up. Good luck
Its hard for me to notice, as I have a fast internet connection. That website gets good clicks anyway. Its not the number of clicks that is the problem. It is the payment per click. Could you be more specific? I didn't think of that. My earnings might have been down during the superbowl also. The only thing that confuses me is that my sites seem to be getting the correct amount of traffic.
Last week was good enough for me. Have you tried with removing "Advertise on this site"? Take it down for about 2 weeks and see what difference it brings. Also take a close look at the ads being served and try and weed out junk sites - visit the URL being served (without clicking your own ad ) and what’s your personally opinion on the site? Is it something you like and related to your topic? If so then keep it but of not filter the URL using the Adsense settings. For example I am seeing Target.com for video rentals - the landing page for that URL is a big Disney ad that opens onto a video rental URL, not really on topic with your site. The only problem about using the ad filter is that you can end up removing a client who is actually paying you well for clicks, its trial and error at this point. Is it happening with all your sites? including your Manga Site?
There IS such a thing as seasonal advertising budget. I put up a pic sometime back that showed a big increase of average cost per keyword during December (duh) and then a steady decline into the summer months which then popped back up. It's not a direct correlation, per se, but it stands to reason and you can probably infer some generalities. Of course, depending upon your industry (winter gear, bikinis, etc), your mileage may vary.
it should still be going very strong up until may-june.. then july and august are terrible, at least in my experience
Well, this is interesting. Yesterday I sent an email to Google and asked if they could explain to me what happened. I checked my adsense account today, and despite the fact Google didn't respond, my websites are back to making what they normally make. I guess they fixed the problem but decided not to email me? Really strange. I'm glad I'm back to making my usual earnings, but I find it disconcerting Google couldn't give me an explanation. That was a good point I didn't think of. If I begin having trouble again, I will begin filtering sites that don't relate to my content. That is very good advice.
Same here, last 2 week i was doing horrible, then the last 2 days, i went up 100% in revenue and traffic went up 10%..
Hmmm... I was doing great, but the last two or three days, 400-600 impressions, 0 clicks. It can be real finnicky!
30% increase in traffic so far this week - but earnings down. On one page yesterday I had 4 clicks = 1 cent.
Facing same problem, since past week, can anyone help on this, why this happend, the issue is not only mine, others too are not earning as like before, reply anyone plzz
