    Man....Adsense has been REALLY awful since the Christmas season ended in pretty much all of my niches. I guess Adwords must be going at wholesale prices these days or something?

    Anyone know if it is typical for the few months after Christmas to be horrible? I know the summer can be bad, but I didn't expect this. Or maybe I need to find some niches taylored to this time of the year... aka a valentine's day blog :D

    How has YOUR adsense done since the beginning of the year?

    I agree, entirely.
    I am roughly getting twice as many clicks on the same website, and getting about 40% less since Christmas.

    I'm about 40-50% less... unbelievable. I have a bad feeling about adsense in general. My first thought is everyone is getting more and more blind to the ads.
    Microsoft and Yahoo's ads could be driving ad prices down.. who knows?

    My mind is fried on adsense and I'm about ready to throw in the towel.. I wish Google would make it easier to understand why earnings go up and down. Only thing I know is the supply and demand thing. I guess right now we're in an advertiser's market! :eek:

    Yeah, it has been. My overall earnings have gone down at least 20%.

    I also hate how earnings can differ so much between days. I'm earning as much as I did yesterday, and the day isn't even done yet and I have received half the number of clicks that I did yesterday.
