    Are we comparing apples to apples and clicks to clicks on the same niche sites?

    Def hit a wall.. we were doubling revenue every month until sept and I'm seeing a 40% drop.. made some changes that might be contributing.. but on channels where there were no changes still bad..

    What went down? Traffic? Click thru rate (CTR)? or $/click?

    Mine has nearly doubled compared to August, which was a horrible month. Most of the summer was horrible too.

    Like olddocks, I too have noticed that my earnings and traffic are down for September. I think it depends on your niche, but I theorize that for my site, it's because school has started up again and the kids are busy with homework and studying and not visiting my website, which I know has been popular with the teens.

    two months of summer were very low as usual during this period. September is a good month preceding the excellent months of december and january, I hope!

    Much better than last month but then again I think it really depends on how much work you put in the previous month. If you want next month to look better then put work in now. If you just sit around and expect to naturally earn more sorry to say it's probably not going to happen.

    Most of my audience is highschool and college students and I see an opposite trend. During summer, they are busy having fun and doing less web surfing, when school starts, my traffic goes up. Besides, how many kids really spend lots of time doing homework?
