    I have got various websites I run adsense one, and now it has really hit rock bottom...

    ~30,000 uniques per day in total and under $20 made per day. AdSense is getting more and more pathetic :mad:

    yeah,. it's no point that you have a high no. of unique come to your site but nobody click your ads. try to change the type of ads and relocate the ads. use a bright color might help. if you rely on adsense so try to make it obvious for customer but dont break the TOS. ^^

    I've gotten screwed ever since my site made it to the front page of i-am-bored. I got thousands of uniques and now every click is worth 1-5 cents each.

    Iv been told you get smart priced when your clicks don't convert for the advertiser.

    I'm usually smart priced at least once a month lasts for a week+.

    And I agree with you adsense is getting worse and worse.

    I keep saying:

    PPC = pay per click
    PPA = pay per action

    Which are we signed up to? It's not our responsibility to get our clicks to convert! That's up to the advertiser.

    yup, I can show you the analytics results to prove it!

    2,327% increase in unique visits last Thursday
    40 clicks
    .17% CTR
    $5

    since then, not a single click that has gone over 5 cents

    Jezus ,that's bad.
    That's about a cent per click.
    The thing is,you can have ,millions of visitors a day but if they are of lowzy quality,things are not going to be good.
    Try getting some better link trades with sites that get there visitors from search engines.
    By the way ,what's the site that gets this low earnings?

    Try getting some type of zowie advertising for products no one's ever heard of before. Or adult dating signups.

    Hey, if you're really getting that much traffic, you need to make it work for you.

    All of them, all my sites are performing just as bad and getting worse every month. As traffic goes up, income from adsense goes down.

    I made more with adsense two years ago, with one website and 1000 uniques per day.

    Yep, when your smart priced your whole account gets hit by it.

    That was before smart pricing was introduced I bet?

    You should try PPA or CPM you seem to get enough visitors to make a nice amount.

    I just got smartpriced also and I am going to see for how long.

    Changes that I have done are Major SEO (titles, desc, keywords etc.)

    I did them in the beginning of last month but I do see them starting to bare fruit, increased traffic started beginning of this month.

    I only did SEO for one site.

    Sitemapped all content plus images and uploaded last week.

    Submitted site index to major social bookmarking with some deep pages.

    Gonna seehow long the smart pricing lasts..
    I read that it may be a week so I will see.

    Nope! But I've used it for awhile and I can vouch that it works well. :)
