    Hi,
    My adsense eCPM dropped dramatically since march 13, from that day all my earnings have been about 1/4 of what they were for the last couple of month, although the number of impressions and click hasn't changed at all.
    Anyone else share the same experience? Any idea why that happens? The PR of the pages haven't changed...

    Maybe your source of traffic changed.. I remember once I received over 200 clicks/daily for an article that I wrote. But it only last 2 weeks. :p

    Maybe you got some low paid advertisements? Can you tell me what's your site? Blog, forum or normal site?

    There are two possible reasons for the dramatic change of eCPM
    1. Change of content / niche
    2. Change of source of traffic

    Same thing here. The last 2-3 days was a complete disaster.

    The US economy is plunging deeper into crisis, expect lower and lower earnings.... everybody is seeing this on average... people will have less money to spend, advertisers also will spend less

    this is a damn shame. i always thought i shouldn't count on adsense as my income and quit my day job, but i hoped i was wrong... this really takes my earning a year back :-(
