    Hi.
    Without any change to my sites or traffic, earnings dropped considerably from $30/day to $10/day. What could be the cause? I can mention I have built other sites continuously, so the revenue should increase, no?

    Google are currently going through quite a few changes. Quite a few others have observed similar drastic drops in revenue in the last few months.

    Have your traffic levels remained the same? Have you added more ads to your pages? These changes can all have a marked effect on the amount the Google pays out.

    Anyway, hang in there, watch how things develop. Keep building other sites.

    well..so that means your CPM and thus CPC has dropped right ?

    That means you have been smart priced.Smart pricing occurs because traffic sent through your sites to the advertiser pages are not converting !!

    The only way is to find which site is not converting and make traffic convert or remove adsense ads completely from it to increase adsense earnings in other site [but this may not be preferred by many].One way of making traffic convert is to increase the search engine traffic and try to minimize the social media traffic - this is because most social media traffic are aware of the adsense ads and might not click - so this means the advertisers' impressions are going waste.

    Why does this happen?

    Advertisers will get angry if people from your site do not buy anything - so that means advertisers are gonna leave adwords,right?This is why google starts showing ads of lower CPC on your site and keeps the higher CPC ads for the higher converting websites.

    Hope this helped.

    yea the way I look at it, when you were making $30 a day there may have been an advertiser paying well. That advertiser stopped using adwords, and their might not be many other advertisers related to your niche or at least none paying as well so you are making less.

    I could be wrong, just how I would take the situation.

    Check to see if your traffic has dropped and also look at where your traffic is coming from. Adsense likes natural Search Engine traffic but isn't too keen on traffic from Social Media sites.

    If you're getting roughly the same number of visitors and page impressions then it's time to look at your Click Through Rate (CTR) and eCPM to see what is going on there. A lower eCPM means your getting less per click.

    It is possible that you are being smart priced but this usually isn't the case. You may want to remove any low performing ads from your site as these will often cause a lower eCPM.

    This has most likely nothing to do with smartpricing. Think about the global economic situation and you'll get your answer. Every company worldwide is reducing expenses for advertising. Many webmasters (including me) are experiencing similar drops in their stats. I used to earn over 30 bucks a day and now i am down to 10 max.

    So what can we do about it? Pretty simple: nothing. We just can wait until the recession is over!

    if your traffic didn't decrease then try to block few of the advertiser that you doubt not good for your site or might have less eCPM. Try to have a keyword research on high paying phrases on your niche and add more pages on that.

    The current economic situation may be a factor for the drop. Many companies are cutting back expenses.

    People get real! It's not traffic itself that matters, it's the traffic quality.

    AdGoogle analytics to your web site and track your bounce rate and other detailed info. One hit means nothing. One targeted hit makes all the difference.

    That's a shocking drop for no apparent reason. It sounds like it might be impossible to rely too much on Adsense as a consistence form of added revenue.

    There are several reasons for the drop. As said above it may be recession or other reasons. If google changed anything, we all we know within short time. So just wait and watch.
