mine too, i read somewhere today a person said that your ad network is effected if one or more sites is a non business like site aka blogs and forums, so if you have ads on these type of sites and also others ALL your sites will be effected. I feel this could be the issue, or they are updating things, lets hope for the latter, the economy posts here are lame, its widespread so something is up and of course Ggle doesnt tell us anything since they are so big they dont have to,
I watched in interview with the Google CEO the other day. When he was asked if the economic turmoil would effect Google's revenue, he evaded the question, but his eyes said,"yes." When I owned a newspaper during hard times - many advertisers stopped buying ads as a cost cutting measure. No doubt, the same thing is happening here. Smart advertiser take advantage of this and get bargain advertising rates - but both types of advertisers mean less for the publisher. Eventually this cycle will go on the upswing again - the trick is to survive until then. Note that even during tough times some businesses and some websites have soaring profits...
The adwords people are not willing to pay more, given the turbulence in the US economy and its cascading effect on the other countries.
Stock markets were down last week due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. But on friday Nasdaq rose up by 3.4%. Let us see if it impacts our adsense revenue as well
hi, yes i have been experiencing the decrease in adsense revenue too! i thought it was just us!! anyone know why?
I have Adsense on many sites. Some are doing fine others are doing less than fine. I think it's the stock market, economy etc. I used to use Adwords to advertise and I had to jump fences. I personally found Adwords a bit pricey. I was paying for clicks and not making many more sales than I was by using only SEO. When things get tough businesses have to cut the fat. I can understand how they could view Adwords as an unnecessary draw. I felt like I could do better getting quality organic rankings than by paying Google. Now Google pays me and I make more sales, go figure. I'm sure I'm not the only one to figure that out. Less bidders = lower click prices. Peace, Herman
