Earnings Dropped more than 50%

I was happily getting $11-$12 and now I am getting $5-$6


The 336X280 banner spot was giving me decent CPM, like $4-$5 a day and from yesterday it is giving .50 - $.75

Now....wtf is happening, the site targetted ads have run away...

I feel crap, have I been smart priced or its the advertisers that have run away?

Anyone else's earnings dropped badly?

CPC is also soo less that I cant tell you, less than 10 cents per click I am getting now on an average.

 

Don't worry. You can't expect everyday to be similar. You will have some ups and downs, but things should even out at the end of month as far as cpc is concerned.

 

u r right !

i was earning $ 40 each day ! today i m down to $ 2

 

Oh my god!
I also seen at other threads that many others have faced downs...

I think maybe a few niches are facing low earnings.... Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogle!!!

 

Indeed, and the main rule if you want to see something changed, just try new stuff.

 

Forum is best with CPM only and thats why I added these rectangle ads.... it showed most site targetted ads, its most likely that advertisers havent bought yet and if this continues, I will earn $150 instead of $300

 

new stuff like?

New ad units?

 

No need to open so big eyes !

My earning will drop from $ 1200 to $ 60 - $ 200 a month

 

I highly doubt!
I think everything should be fine in a couple of days.

 

earning are like wheather ..sometime sunny , somedays raining and others windy ..

 

Mine dropped from $15 to $5 and from January to August.

 

Same here,50 % lower

 

publishers don't have cpc, they have epc(earnings per click).

1) did the number of total impressions drop?
2) look at the adsense stats for the cpm ads being served on your site... are you getting more or less cpm than before?

 

earning fluctuates

You can't expect to earn the same everyday, besides days also plays a role.

 

The only CPM i noticed was at google adsense reports that showed as "SITE" and and I am getting very less SITE money.....contexual is also lower as before, SITE has gone down from 5 to 0.50

And CPC in the sense on an average earning per click....like you get 100 clicks - $10...that means 10 cents per click average (talking only about contexual) Now...it is less than 10 cents on average I am getting these days.


Total ad impressions are the same as before but site targetted ads are shown way too less

 

I have the same situation.

The CPC Price dropped too much.

 

I also noticed dropped in earnings , but i think this is only with entertainment niche . m i rite ??

 

I think we are related yes!

I have a teen niche - Teen Help


I think only these low paying niches like teens, entertainment, etc are facing lower earnings

 

Thats a major drop
Are you also in entertainment niche ?

 

cpc = cost per click
epc = earnings per click

google has cpc, publishers have epc... so you had a 10 cent epc rate.

did you look at advanced reports> show data by> individual ad> check "Show data by targeting type - contextual or site"

1) on a daily average, are you getting more or less site-targeted ads?
2) on a daily average, are they paying higher or lower cpm?
3) are the contexual text ads still targeted at the page content?

i have seen a lot of bad ad targeting lately, and it will lower your epc.
