$128 - lowest day earnings this year :(

Well just to let you know how bad December with adsense is I just had my lowest day all year yesterday.

$128

My average is: $200-$260

 

Today will probably be ever worse.

 

any details about CTR,Clicks, Impressions and keyword people can assist you better &
Dont worry it will be fine soon.

 

Well impressions and clicks are the same as always. Earnings have dropped by half. CTR is lower than usual. Don't want to give out to much info as it is against adsense TOS.

I wasnt making this much last year during this time so i didnt really see how bad December is. I read here that alot of people are having a bad month during the holidays.

Well i just hope this gets better in January!

 

if your really unlucky u might be getting smartpriced ( hope not!!! )

but i think its just december, my first actual attempt at making money from adsense started 3 days ago. and its under 0.1% ctr LOL

 

128 in one day and u r sad ?

I dont even make 128$ total in 128 days.

 

But smart price is for the whole account right?
I am making the same amount of money from couple of my sites that i always do just the two big ones that earn the most of money are making half what they used to make.

 

It's not just us either. Shop sales have gone way down this December as well.

 

I'm making half of what I used to make from my larger sites as well. This only started occuring a couple days ago. For the first half of December, earnings were as good as before I was SmartPriced.

 

I don't believe any of us were smartpriced. It's an issue with the season and less advertisers.

 

This past week i have been earning crap from adsense, you know what, i think it has to do with just because its December, holidays etc! My earnings have dropped about 80%

Yea..before Thanksgiving earnings went down and stayed down until like Dec. 5. Then it went back to normal for a week and now again back to low.

 

I don't think it's the issue of holidays (though I wish it should be). If your income has dropped since the mid of November, then Google new ad click area change may be the most probable reason. Also eCPM is dead low in December. No one knows the actual reason

 

I wish i had that bad day...

 

That could be why. Not to mention the Thanksgiving holiday sucked too.

 

I said I was SmartPriced...

 

Same here. Getting in the lower range now. I noticed that now even stupid MFA sites are ranking higher since all higher bidders are out of game. I hate holidays now :-(

 

Why do you think you were smartpriced?

 

Assumption is the mother of all F-ups

 

Ya, he probably wasn't smartpriced. It's the holiday season - earnings are down for a lot of publishers. My earnings have gone up, and down, and then back up. As long as your site's traffic continue to rise and become profitable for advertisers (good to advertise on your site), then there's no reason for you site to get smartpriced, right?
