Anyone notice big drop in earnings?

Hi,

In the last 2 weeks, my earning have gone rock bottom (worse for over 1 year) - traffic is steady and I've actually added many sites to my account.

Averaging about 50% less that it was prior to 2 weeks ago.

Anyone else seing this, or have I just been hit with smartpricing?

 

I got an email this morning from a friend who makes much more than I do talking about the same thing... 50% dip on a $1 earning is not that bad... But 50% dip on several hundred or more can hurt...

 

Hmm, not sure..I've actually had an increase earnings on some of my sites. It may just depend on the niche?

 

i have had a huge drop. i am not happy!

 

Big drop today after a big increase yesterday. Same ads since yesterday. It makes no sense.

 

Down about 50% as well.

Thought I was being penalised there for awhile, because we went very well in March and early April, then took nose dive.

But, probably more related to a drop in traffic.

I'm very sad now, because of the last few days.

I am about the same still.

 

No drop for me. Roughly the same.

 

Ive noticed a huge drop. I had ad's that were paying $2 and now I have ads paying $.03 or $.00 Just might be time to switch all over to Yahoo

 

Its been 10 days when I've noticed a big drop on my average CPC, about 40%.

 

Big drop, which always happens to me around the end of the first week of the month. No major concern, the time you spent worrying (and refreshing and checking stats) could have been better spent building more traffic and adding fresh content.

 

i too get a shok today........

 

yes, same as CPM

 

Up up up here I love google, for now....

 

Here it's increasing actually....and I hope it will continue to increase.

 

I have dropped by 40% or maybe more, but I am working on more sites so hope I do well there.

 

Yep.
Mine started about 3 days ago.
And yesterday was a really strange day: in same site one of my channels had a higher CPC than usual and another one was alot down. weird...
I hate smart pricing

 

Down 75%; and I am not kidding and not happy.

 

Down by 40% here for the past few days. ~__~
