its happening to most of us...even some of the very niche sites like mine. I sometimes gets huge payout and then other day it goes down like a rollercosta. Lets analyse the situation till 15th to come to some conclusion...but i can see that some ads have completely disappeared from my blog..maybe advertisers are still setting their new year budgets and hopefully we can see some high paying ads pretty soon
same here... earning and ctr drops more than 50%! I get 0,01 clicks at related ads, that's not normal.. it happend since the day before yesterday. The days before I was on my top. Will this change? Because i cannot pay my server bills with just a tiny revenue i get from adsense now
My earnings on one of big content sites went also down to 60 percent less than before Christmas. So, I was also wandering what is going on. I get same amount of clicks, but 50-60% less payout. Joe
What a relief to see this happening to other people not just me. I was like.. AHHH What happened?!?!.....
i got a rush over xmas and new years for about 2 weeks earning almost double than usual its just started coming down to normal for me same as my amazon sales
i guess this will continue till half of Jan...hopefully after that we will be back on track..Lets hope
It seems like an extreme drop for me. Do you change something in your site? Do you noticed any drop in your PageRank? Any change on how many pages of your site in Google Index Results?
I have several websites and no, I didn't change anything drastically. Not all of my websites have a pagerank. And no, I don't see less pages in the Google Index Results. Like I said, I'm getting just as many visitors, just as many clicks...just less money for the clicks.
I have seen a drop in earnings as well. A very significant drop. I earn half of what I used to make 3 months ago.
Thinking doesn't hurt... Have you heard of pagerank update running now? And how do you think? What webmasters do all day long? They're checkin' and checkin' and checkin' on all available DCs... No time and sense to look for ads now. And I will tell you what to do. It's time for 50% sale. Just give me all those URLs...
yeah....... my pay per click is in the garbage. haha it's tough to put the nose to the grinder when pay is arse.
