Recently there has been a lot of changes with adsense. A lot of people have been crying about being banned, and others are crying that their revenue has dropped without a traffic decrease. But what about the other side. What about the others who are on the good side of these changes. I cannot complain becuase my profits from adsense are skyrocketing. 2 to 4 times a week I'm beating my record of total profit in a day. Actually I am sitting at a 3X income from last month on a 4% traffic increase. my CTR and eCPM has skyrocketed. Value more 1 click has gone way up, and if your looking for tips how, I can't be sure myself. I know this may be a bit rude, but I just have to say it once. I want to thank you guys who were getting too much money from adsense and were being overpaid, because now your days are over. People like me who were giving 200 to 500 clicks a day and once getting .02 for each click are getting .15 to $1.50 for the clicks. Google is done with letting people abuse the system and manipulating the terms of service. I always followed them and it was my punishment for low profit, now these days are over. Is anyone else on my side of the barnyard here?
I'm still at about the same, waiting for my first paycheck to come in, have followed all rules to every extension, however I'm not going to play the win or loose game, I need a guarentee my revenue comes in.
Adsense is not constant So 1 month you make more one you make less Becouse it depends on many factors traffic / competition / advertiser budgets Think not all advertiser can have a constant budget some inest more this month less in the other
You're making it sound like those of who have seen a decrease in CTR, CPC , and total earnings weren't following the rules.
i think he means not only not following the rules, but having junk-sites, etc.. overall for the last few months my earnings have also been on the upswing (except for this weekend which i attribute to the holidays). I think you're at least partially right though - between the bannings, and decreased click-area changes from last month, ePC (for many) is going up.
It not that all where not following the rules. It's that they were being paid a little more than they should have, but now they are not, which helps the one's underpaid. There is other reasons. Advertisers went down, etc, but I'm referring to the recent adsense ads changes such as the "a person must click on the actual url and not anywhere on the site"
I don't really understand this statement. How were they overpaid? I thought that all the pay structure was decided by the market and the advertisers willingness to pay?
It's really simple. The visitors where clicking on the adsense banners without any interest. They were by accident. For example, someone chit the back button, then clicked to go to something before the page was loaded and it happened to be an adsense banner. The publisher made this money, but now adsense is setup that the clicker must be actually have totally wanted to click into the site.
Well, this weekend wasn't the holidays - but in a few days it'll be christmas time and earnings will really be low.
Well, that's a given for sure unless you are able to grab as much traffic as possible in which the clicks will be worht more.
Ya, like now - if you're running a christmas-style site, then its time to launch a massive adwords campaign.
I haven't really seen any changes, and I've been an AdSense publisher for a couple of years now. My earnings are trending up, but then so is the number of visitors to my Websites. One peculiar tidbit, though: on one of my sites (a free image hosting site), clicks typically bring in over $1 each, while on my free Website hosting site, clicks bring anywhere from $0.10 to $0.70 or so. I don't care one way or the other, but I do think it's interesting.
..sorry.. i mean, "pre-holidays".. everyone out shopping, seeing Santa at the mall, having lives, you know - doing everything except sitting in from of a computer like you and i are doing right now
Ahh. Yes. I guess that's what we get from being webmasters. I wonder if our earnings will go up in Jan.
