Are you saying you get $25-60 a day on a daily basis that gets reduced to $5-8 after accounting for click fraud. I am not sure if anyone else this done to their account. Why would there be so many fraudelant clicks on a daily basis?
Yea, I really don't know what to do, TONS of clicks after my hard SEO work, and few cents .... god that sucks ... believe it or not 282 clicks yesterday and 9.5$, that's high compared to the last weeks but it sucks compared to the months before July ... visitors are clicking less, that may means lot of public ads, or people are sleeping and waiting for the summer ....
I dont get it, how can Google pay you less than 0.01 per click, yesterday i got 17 clicks for 0.08, thats like 0.0047 per click!
only so many cookie cutter sites can show top paying adds. Instead of bitching that your cpc is down, why not try creating unique nich sites of unique content that will generate targetted traffic? For example, the web is totally saturated with myspace sites, so instead of just another addition to the pile, be creative and come up with a never before concept. Remember people who are not bitching right now are people who spend less time checking their adsense accounts and more time creating quality content that nobody else has... To many people try to hit the homerun with the "run of the mill theme" sites when there is a gold mine out there to be made, running sites focusing on less searched for key word combinations.
I was recently experiencing the same trend as everyone else, I was looking at $.90 cent clicks then one day I was down to $.03 cent clicks for about 4 days and today I had a $1.05 click..
