January is up big - Because Google is cleaning house?

    One of my site is having its best month by far. All the numbers are the same as most months but the clicks are bringing me more money. Could this be because Google has been banning a lot of bad publishers lately? Which would increase the competition for my key words.

    I've noticed that on my older site the value per click has increased somewhat.... That means I'm earning more from the same amount of traffic... It's about time to.

    I don't really make that much on adsense but in the last few days I've made some big dollars on other stuff online. I think it has something to do with the stimulus the the Fed is pouring into the US economy.

    hmm maybe Value per click has increased, I don't notice any such thing happening with me, probably its with only few selected accounts.

    I was thinking that removing bad publishers would mean less clicks for a key word. Thus increasing demand which increases cost to advertiser. That then results in more for the publishers. If you did not have any bad publishers with your key words diluting the market then it would not effect you. I am just making an educated guess on this because I have heard that Adsense has been cracking down. I do not think the Fed has anything to do with this because it takes a while for there actions to take effect. Plus they have not even dolled out the cash to the tax payers yet. That won't happen until March or April.

    What are your guys thoughts on this?

    It's going to depend on the niche. For instance morgage refinances are way up. I would think that consumer confidence is up and business will try to get a jump on the curve.

    Well it seems to me that Google has removed many websites as well from Seach Engine..before there were lots of completition on Automotive Niche, these competition is too less, there might be a possibility cause of this my earnings are going up :)
