Adsense CTR down :(

Since google has made the changes on the clickable area of the ads my CTR has dropped to almost half.. What about you guys?

 

Yes, CTR is almost 70% of what it used to be. That's because I used to blend ads really well (as per Google's suggestion) What I don't understand is why the ad text description in not included in the clickable area - its part of the ad isn't it? Once the holiday season passes, I will get a much better picture of the earnings.

 

Change your ad placements...
Ad placements effects changes in CTR

 

My clicks are down 50% since the change. I used to get 400+ clicks, now I'm getting 200 a day.

 

May be they should also double up the earnings after the change

 

same here... CTR dropped by 60%...

 

Mine dropped for a while, now they seem to be coming back up. I think it's too soon to really tell. All the same, I'm looking into options just in case.

 

It is going down for everyone , i would suggest optimizing you site for Link Units , i did and i get a decent ctr on it always.

 

CTR depends upon the relevancy of ads, quality of traffic, , and even the content of your website......
Checkout these matters

 

Yes, we all know that. But our concern is about the new clickable area that Google has just rolled out.

 

You will get more per click but your clicks will do down

 

I'm not being trite when I say maybe we should short Goog stock. If our CTRs are down double-digit %, then so may Googles revenues this quarter.

 

My CTR is about half of what it used to be.

Fortunately, my CJ earnings has jumped up this week.

 

hi,
