$45 per day AVG to $6? WTH?

No, adsense and adwords queries are almost always answered within a day in my experience (although the answer is not always very helpful) - see below:-

(NB - Does anyone have any objections to me pointing them in the direction of this thread?)

Hello Jordan,

Thank you for your email.

I understand that you are concerned about a decline in your earnings and I
know that this can be frustrating.

It is common for earnings to fluctuate significantly over time. Since a
number of factors influence earnings, it is difficult for me to pinpoint
exactly why your earnings might have declined. These factors include, for
instance, changes in ad inventory, fluctuations in the cost-per-click or
cost-per-thousand-impressions of the ads appearing on your site and your
users' click-through selections.

We are always working to improve monetisation for our publishers. In order
to help our engineering team achieve this goal, I will be happy to pass
along any suggestions or feedback that you have.

We hope that over time you find that your earnings increase to levels that
you are happy with. In the short term, you may wish to look at our
Optimisation Tips page at https://www.google.com/adsense/tips. By
experimenting with a few simple changes, you may find that you are able to
significantly improve the performance of your ads.

For additional questions, I'd encourage you to visit the AdSense Help
Centre ( http://www.google.com/adsense_help ), our complete resource
centre for all AdSense topics. Alternatively, feel free to post your
question on the forum just for AdSense publishers: the AdSense Help Group
( http://groups.google.com/group/adsense-help ).

Sincerely,

John
The Google AdSense Team

Can you shed any light on why earnings are approx 40% of what they
used to (over the last 3 weeks) even though I have more or less the same
number of page views / clicks?

Thanks.

 

Jordan

The reason I asked if you were kidding is due to the fact that I knew you, or anyone else who would think to write, was going to receive the very form reply letter, you have received.



Peace!

 

yesterday and today are MUCH better. Not what they were but Better!

 

Ah - I see.....

All the same - I'll reply to them with the url of this thread and see what they say!

 

it's too getting better here

 

Interesting ... I have exactly the opposite, my earnings went to double from July to September. Well I optimized a lot on my page last 2 month and getting like 50% more clicks and impressions then in juli, and my overall eCPM was little above 1$.

Maybe it is the kind of ads which make the difference, my site is mainly interesting for video games, games and german language.

 

I've seen revenue decrease by about 30% in the past couple of weeks, but I've seen a similar drop in traffic, so no smart-pricing yet for me (knock on wood).

 

I'm having another good day. Three in a row.
again, not what I normally made but not 7 bucks either.

Something has definitely changed.

has anyone tried the new upgraded 2.0 ads? I noticed that MFA sites that generate traffic from adwords are not allowed. I think that may be google's way of saying publishers and advertisers have had enough.

 

I agree with you bro. Last 3 days were 'somewhat' OK. Nothing phenomenal.

Just read the above article. Provides some great insight.

 

I'm at least into the mid twenties today. lately I've been lucky to see 8 bucks.

Momma ain't gonna like me this month.
She'll probably take the kids and find someone who's making money LOL

 

Yes - they suck big time...

 

Surprisingly... (?) - they have not come back to me again since!

 

ok i thought something went wrong with my sites. I was on my way to hitting my $30 a day goal and now today it seems i might not even crack $5 all this time and energy and to see the results just evaporate not cool man

 

Is this just a case of most advertisers tightening their belts a bit before the big Xmas push?

 

is there some one who can answer this from adsense team.....

same things happen with may webmasters

 

I think Ive been hit with smart pricing also!!
I got 8-28 cents a click up until yesterday, and today Im getting 2-3 cents after I started my adword campaigns.

Where is a good place to get a explanation of smart pricing?

 

Back to sucking again.

 

Sucks horrible for me today. Dropped like 30% and got like extra 100 clicks.

 

Man I just signed up for adsence . Don't tell me they are about to stat paying less. Hope this is temporary.

 

WE ALL HOPE THIS IS TEMPORARY. a third of my income is from Adsense
