    Just in case there is anyone here that hasn't experienced the after Christmas season on adsense, be prepared for a drop in earnings during January-March.. and I think thinks should increase around April.

    At least that is my experience. Anyone else notice that Jan-Mar is kinda slooow?

    I don't think it is the case if you work in the right niche... Actually, I know!

    Absolutely, it seems like EPC drops by at least 30% every year at this time.

    this is true... I think a good idea is to go after niches in this timeframe - valentiine's day... mardi gras and perhaps a really good niche would be political stuff.

    Supply and demand... supply and demand...

    There is no source for this informaition, people have come to concusion based on their individual adsense account performance for sure.

    My income has gone up by 50% straight during this year end :)

    I guess it really depends on your niche because last year I haven't noticed any difference.

    I've got another approach.

    I follow seasonnal trends without loosing sight on the big markets. At this time of the year people are making resolutions like loosing weight, stop smoking, drinking, find a new career... and these are high paying niches that work all year round ... :cool:

    I am not really sure about mardi gras though so I'll check that out.


    Alternatively move to affiliates business, the safe Haevens are sex related sites with adult friend finders and others but it is not to everyone's taste.

    Or maybe you could write great content your readers will want to read and let the adsense roll in. Writing about things that are high paying adsense terms is a great way to get blog burnout. Write what you are passionate about and the money will roll in.
