Dunno if Google has made any changes, but my per day revenue has dropped 40% from last month. Not gradual either, it was overnight. On July 31, I made $XX On August 1, I made $XX*60% I'm getting the same number of clicks though on equivalent impressions with the same clickthrough rate, it's how much I'm getting per clck that has made the difference. As an AdWords user, I got some invite about please sign up for our new Contextual ads, we changed them and they are great. I wonder if they did some revamping, part of that being how much they pay AdSense partners.....
Not me, I've had a big increase in my revenue. I don't remember who posted the tip, but I went through my entire site and found a boatload of ads that were completely off target, stupid or just plain wrong for the content on my site. I added those domains to the filter and it seems my revenue has taken a turn for the better.
I've seen a pretty big drop in the last few weeks as well (CTR and total clicks are up, revenue down).
I've been having pretty odd experiences but I don't think it's related to anything global. my EPC can go up by 400%, stay that way for weeks, then return to where it was, stay there for weeks, and then go back up. it's frustrating.
I don't think it's global either... It fluctuates a lot, and probably simply was a high-paying bidder dropping out for some of the terms being affected.
I've been experiencing a low slow downward trend for the last four months. However, something more troubling occurred earlier this week. Most of my web sites were down over 24 hours. My AdSense impression numbers didn't change. That's just damned spooky.
You're welcome... I've seen a slight increase in revenue since 1 August (10-20%), the CTR and impressions are almost the same..
haha, that is weird... maybe it was a DNS problem and it appeared to be down for you but it was up for other people?
Definitely it was a DNS problem. Unfortunately, server logs show no traffic from about noon to noon. I've been staring at my AWStats reports and AdSense reports, much like a caveman staring at fire.
Send the results to Google and ask them for an explanation. The Adsense help staff are reasonable responsive.
That's pretty strange - I've wondered if they do some sort of "averaging" to make analysis of numbers/trends more difficult ... but I certainly have seen "jumps" in the Adsense numbers that correllate well with big jumps in my web traffic ... so certainly seems like the reverse should be the case - strange!
ya, if you have the problem just contact with google and they will solve it as quick as possible. i have same type of problem but they help me to remove. Thanks and don't worry.
