15 clicks - $0.51

This is the first time this is happening to me. The same site usually brings me $1-3/day with 8-12 clicks. Today I got 15 clicks and only $0.51? How is this possible?

 

Why are you analyzing your site so closely? One day doesn't tell you a thing. I have been using AdSense since October 2003 and have seen ups and downs all of the time.

 

Yes but 15 clicks 0.51? This is too low! I am also reading about other users in this forum reporting low earnings lately, so I am thinking that something must be going on...

 

Nothing's going on.

 

I average 2-3 cents per click all the time. It happens nothing to think about really. It just 15 people click on ads that only paid 3 cents.

 

Maybe... But lately I have seen an increase in my traffic and clicks were going up as well. I was starting to get 0.10-0.50/click, so today it looked weird to me. Yesterday wasn't a good day either but I thought it was just that. Anyway I hope you all are right about this and things will go better tomorrow...

 

petdam, login to your google adsence acc once a day, review the ctr, page impression and $ that you earn. The next step is forgot about the $, bring more targeted traffic to landing pages, repeat the same step for a month and you will be happy with the result.

Just my 2 cents

 

i think some of your users has clicked on the public ads . why do you try adlogger ?

 

Zinrus, you are right, it is starting to become an obsession to me, ever since I started getting some traffic and some more clicks.

 

I don't use adlogger because I can't upload it to my website. It's a blog from godaddy, I have no control over it.

 

get used to fluctuations

 

maybe u r smartpriced for some time..you clicks might not be converting as good for the advertisers. u will come out of smartpricing once your clicks start converting better

 

My typical clicks went down from over 30c to 3/4c, now they are at 11c. It changes.

 

may be there are invalid clicks.

 

Good point. Adlogger would be a good way to tell, but won't work with a godaddy blog. I'd say don't worry about it for now. If it continues shoot the big G and e-mail and see what they say.

 

invalid clicks still pay?...

 

Not in my experience.

 

Maybe like 10 of them were invalid. Anyway, what I am worried about is that I don't want to see my adsense account cancelled because of some guy clicking repeatedly my ads. If the same thing happens today I am going to send an email to google.

 

how can you be sure they were invalid?...

 

I am just saying, like it has been suggested by djrishi too, that some of them could have been invalid. Because 15 clicks - $0.51, comes down to 0.034/click which is too low for adsense.
