Once upon a time,,, in a very far land called the web, there was a rich man called Mr.Adsense. this rich man was a giving and not asking man ,,, he used to give 100$ a day to each person that come to him and work for him, he really didn't ask many questions about his employees work nor about how they work, he just pays them more and more ,,, and he was giving 100$ to the person who refers other people to Mr.Adsense... He sands gifts every Christmas ...briefly he was a great man and a teacher in Generosity... In that time everybody loved him,,, The far land was fine .The people were happy and Mr. Adsense was too. And no They didn't live happy ever after... Mr.Adsense (the angel) turned into an Evil and started banning people and taking there money and doing dirty jobs, and giving lower payouts and all bad things that you can imagine. Till now no one knows why Mr.Adsense changed his cool mood. Thank you for listing, I hope you like the story.
The Angel is good till today and will be. But Their Followers are thinking they are more smarter than Mr. Adsense and using him for fast money and wrong purposes. Mr Adsense leave to believe in those kind of persons and he also caught some true followers unfortunatly.
Thank you Zohaib10 for your explanation its true. And no pipes I am still with adsense but with few cents in months.
I believe lower payouts, few cents per click are because of the increase in number of publishers around the world. Adsense is still doing good for money, it's just getting difficult. The positive thing is that 'adsense' is 'one of the ways' for making money, and not the only way to make money.
Thank you mixke for charing your tips with me, and yes adsense is not the only way but it is for me, because if I wanna be an affiliate Clickbank don't accept Algerian Publishers. so adsense is my last chance.
Mr. AdSense had to face reality, and realized there were too many users abusing the system...they took advantage of him. When people take advantage of me, I get angry, re-focus, and find a better solution...as did Mr. A.
hhhh aahhh , Thank you SearchBliss yes Mr.Adsense made his solution but on other publishers expense. am I right?
Not at the expense of publishers, but in the best interest of both publishers and advetisers. It can't be easy juggling the two and pleasing both all of the time. Mr. Adsense is still trying to find a happy medium...which will be a life time struggle...as is life.
Clickbank is not the only affiliate program. There are many affiliate programs. I'm not sure whether they accept Algerian Publishers or not. Try to go through their TOS. But, if you've a quality site with high rankings and traffic from all around the world - Mainly US, Canada then you should contact the affiliate programs even if they don't accept Algerian Publishers. There are always exceptions for exceptional things He's an Algerian Publisher who's not happy with decrease in Adsense earning because of low cpc. And, Adsense is only way for him to monetize his site.
wht a trick ... inform adsense that u write a story for him. haha i am also facing this problem my 30% earnings has been decreased.
I decided one day about two years ago to get rid of all my affiliate programs that kept disappearing, changing their linking structure, removing pages at their sites that I was linking to, dropping items from their inventory, and simply indiscriminately ending their programs with no notice. I optimized my pages with adsense and my income doubled within a few months. I won't get particular with numbers but let's just say that amounted to an increase of many thousands of dollars per year! I don't spend any time anymore changing ad code, deleting links to items no longer available, etc. I just write web pages and promote my sites. I can't say whether this would work for a majority of sites, but it sure made me one happy puppy! I can't say enough good about adsense! I just hope it stays that way!
One big thing missing here is the fact that the economy (at least in the US) right now is horrible. This will definately result in AdWords users spending less for their campaignes accross the board (and more for Gas, food, etc.). And with Google's "Smart Pricing", all click-through earnings decrease. It's just a sign of the times that will hopfully pick up again soon.
I think Mr. Adsense is a good man at heart.. he's just lost and confused because Mrs. YouTube has been too busy upgrading than taking care of his needs.
