All of my site networks are facing same issue, ad placement, color, visitors are as they were in july but since aug -sept 2008 my earnings are going down and down. Clicks are less but PPC also decrease 0.02% Anyone facing this problem
PPC, if you mean the Earnings Per Click is down by 0.02% well, 0.02% is not statistically significant. If you mean it's down by $0.02 that's still not very much. Same for CTR if that's down by 0.02% ie if you were getting 6%, being down by 0.02% still means 5.99+%
Yeah, i have the same problem. I dont know why your problem arised but i think mine is because as follows My homepage and some of the subpages(not all, and I couldnt find any pattern) are not showing adsense but only public ads or no ad at all. So even my visitors are going up, my earnigs went down for a significant percentage, less than a half. I post a thread for this. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1046155
Yes...I own around 20 sites all going down on earning. August was great, sept drop big time. Let see what happen with the holidays.
Like all things, some people are up, some people are down. Lot probably depends on the types of advertisers targeting specific types of content. The drop is not universal, though.
aug was bad but sept is too much for example if i got 0.05$ per click now i am getting only 0.03$ so around 0.02$ each click has been dropped why .... don't know i have a big question mark at my face.
why this is happening? same with me as well. is google running short of advertisers? or adsense system is dyin? or google might have somthin New to launch in the market. Im confused.
I'm going through the same hardship... Your epc curve and mine are alike. I also have a network. I doubt it is smart-pricing because sites with different topics are equally concerned. So either there is a new penalty for accounts used on a network of sites, or Adsense is skimming (or ad spending are decreasing faster than expected due to the economic downturn? )...
i m seeing huge drop in earnings in oct .. Sep was great aug was better .. oct is like 40% down on all sites
Yes there are complaints from publishers that they are earning low. Dunno know the probabale cause others say it might be due to financial crisis
Yeah,me too. And i thought it was only me bearing all these. The same time previous year was so golden for me ! But.. What happened this time ? God knows
many publishers are suffering from a downturn in earnings.. there have been several threads about it, THIS ONE <-clicky is one of the latest..
All, keep in mind that a new financial quarter started October 1 with alot of those companies who advertise online moving forward with new quarterly advertising budgets. Since Q3 earnings for many public companies declined, especially in the financial services space, they are collectively tightening their belts. Because online advertising typically does not have long contract terms like TV or Radio advertising, my guess is that companies are cutting back where they contractually can. Short-term, that means online advertising. However, I believe that as we get into next year and those offline advertising contracts come up for renewal, we will see a shift of dollars from offline to online, benefitting online publishers. Just my thoughts.
I thought it was just me, i am used to averaging $25-$30 per day and have averaged under $10 for the past few days with a drop in CPC. I am in the mortgage niche so its hard to say whats going on. I also have a life insurance site that is doing great! When i check my sites i see normal ads not the public service ads.
