800 clicks for $12 is rather bad, but I would wait it out and the earnings will probably get back to their former levels pretty soon.
Just looked and would say 50% drop here too, I made a few mods and pushed the % up a bit over the last day or two, but damn its low this past month.
I had the opposite effect. btw, I don't believe in the Death of Adsense http://jmcgready.com/2006/10/01/death-of-adsense-archimedes-new-lever-for-legalized-spam/
Adsense is definitely paying less for the same traffic. Nearly HALF than what it was paying last month. Earnings simply half of what they were last month.
Hmm with me its the traffic is still the same and the revenue per click is about the same but the CTR has hit the floor. This across multiple websites with no significant change on my part. I need to put some time into understanding why. Could be they are delivering less relevant ads or could be my serps have changed so that the visitors they are now sending dont click as much. Suspect its the former.
I have seen a slight increase in the amount that Google is paying for an average click since last month. It appears that Google may be getting better at smart pricing MFA sites.
My quirk is even weirder, I have more clicks than I do per day this month compared to the last, but I am earning less. Odd. - MENJ
Last month my CTR was cut in half, generating only half the earnings. Emails with Google to determine cause were not helpful.
I have increased overall clicks but I am seeing an earnings drop of at least 25%, probably more like 50% though. Really is going downhill, might have to have a go with a friends YPN. I just wish more competition would bring out their publisher products.
I have seen an increase in over clicks AND im making more money per day by around 300%. So, this month has been VERY good to me
I've been spot-checking the ads on my site. While the ads are targeted, they are not targeted as well as they used to be.
lol i had a week... where I was getting .01 per click... shucks around 100 clicks for just a buck... goes crazy sometiems i guess
Holding steady for me this month, but last month earnings were down 30% on around same number of impressions.
At least I am not the only one then. Shows that I really dont understand how this all works. I thought the hard I work, the more I earn. It seems to be the opposite. John
big drop for me I was making 10 bucks easy a day on my myspace resource site...now its sitting on like 3-4 a day for some reason hmmmm...I need a full site upgrade with a massive amount of new content and new ad colours I am thinking. my CTR is still the same but
