Adsense Is Driving My Crazy

I've been using adsense for 6 months - each month my impressions go up - each month my adsense income goes down AGH!!!!

Anyone else suffered this experience?

e.g. feb. - 1217 impressions, 16 clicks, $4.52

march - 2241 impressions, 16 clicks, $1.99

Is this due too small numbers of impressions?

 

well what is the url? Place it here and we will have a look at the placement.

 

You may have gotten smartpriced too judging by the decreased CPC. Basically what that means is the people who advertised on your website no longer felt like paying that much for it due to diminished returns compared to other alternatives. May have had to do with your SEO and keyword distributions and of course the main theme of the site, what niche its in etc.

 

$4.52 for 16 clicks is probably way above the norm and you are back to what you should be paid.

 

Your ctr stinks big time, but your ppc looks ok depending on what theme you have on the site.

 

Your per click is not bad. The rate from before was very good it all depends on what site is about and cost of keywords.

All earnings have gone down after people realized they can not pay the amount they where before.

Do you use any text links ads. I see better per click with them here is post below. Post if you agree or not no need to say how much money you make.

EXACTLY. I need 75 clicks to reach 4.50

 

It depends on the traffic source. If he was reffered from search engine for "keyword A" and the ad was bidded for that "keyword A" then you get more percentage for that click.

Also less is more! If you get less visitors the percentage they give you is higher. The reason is to make you think. "Woou! for 100 visitors and 10 clicks I got $5. If now I get 1000 visitors then 100 clicks X$0.5/click=$50 !!!!!" Unfortunatelly now that you have static traffic they will not give you $0.50 / click but lower e.x $0.20. So for 1000 visitors and 100 clicks you will get 100 clicks X $0.20 = $20

 

I feel the same way. My traffic and CTR is the same but the pay out keeps decreasing every month.

 

maybe the competition for adsense keywords is deceasing? Having an article directory the keywords are all over the place so I suppose it depends on what article the readers are looking at.

 

Could you possibly place a link?

 

+1

Good example.

 

SmartPricing strikes again!

FYI - disclosing your clicks and impressions is a 'bannable' offense..

 

whats the reason why?

 

Smartpriced I believe , but to be honest that is a small amount of traffic to judge on

 

i have faced the same problem myself,
everything gone up, the clicks, the visits, the impression, only the ammount that i earned went down!

 

Could be some advertisers have no more/reduced budget. HOw about trying other niches ?

 

Thank you... Where are my points stored?

 

Smart pricing hits all of his every now and then You'll see if bounce up and down... week to week.... month to month..

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF ADSENSE

 

Same thing happens to me. Up one day down the next even though impressions and clicks were more than the previous day...
