Hello, I've noticed something strange this month, despite the fresh and relative content guidelines which we all follow, my CPC value dropped dramatically on many sites. Some of them reached the bottom = $0.00 per click. I've made a research over the web, but found no news on this topic. Is there anyone who experience the same problem - this month (April). Please if you have any information share it, I understand that sometimes information value is more than me and others can afford at the moment, but we have no one else to ask. If you believe that you have a solution or any idea what is going on, please reply here. I hope that this topic will be useful for many people. One more thing, stay together we are on the same side.
Well, $0.00 clicks are invalid clicks (e.g. a visitor accidentally clicked on an ad and closed it right after). If you are not satisfied with your CPC, you might need to work on your traffic. What is your site about? Where do you get the bulk of the traffic? Are the advertisements Adsense shows on your site relevant to the content? In order to get a good CPC you need to make sure your traffic converts well for the advertisers. In order to do that, you need to concentrate on getting traffic that is actually interested of the products and services advertised on your site.
Yes, in few sites ( proxy niche ). I doubt that they are accidental clicks just because adsense code is not placed on locations where the visitor may accidentally click on it.
So preventing accidental clicks and following the rules actually drops the income and you say that this can be a reason ? I'M confused
I have noticed this on one of my Micro Niche websites actually the CPC dropped from around $5 to about $1.60 so I am feeling your pain here.
If you have more posts about 200 to 500 posts and having at least page rank 1, the CPC value will be higher of Adsense. Thank you.
Same here, CPC dropping consistently through the years if compared with the former earnings back in 2003 and, in my personal case, to make this story worth they are not longer paying timely.
Hello! I feel the problem in Hosted AdSense for Content (youtube). In the report shows daily getting much clicks. But, Estimate earning is ZERO$! That is the fun. All youtube Adsense Content peoples are feel the same thing. I don't know why. Some one told me, it will be add automatically on the Finalized earning.
