Adsense ripping off on clicks

Hi All,

I've been noticing this more and more, and I most likely am not alone, but it seems to me that google is ripping me off on clicks, when it comes to earning per click.

I mean, one site in particular, gets nightlife related traffic: dating, bars, clubs, drinks

How could clicks be .01 to a high .05 cents? I mean I know the traffic to click ratio has an effect, but this seems to me that google is deciding what to pay per click on my site, while still charging the adwords customer the same. It seems unfair as the traffic is good. the site is good. not to mention the traffic is targeted. Google is stuffing their pockets off my adspace. That's how I feel about it.

so WTF? Anyone else feeling ripped off with adsense?

Thanks

 

Google does decide what to pay per click - it's called SmartPricing.

If it's so bad, there's always Adzoogle, Yahoo, CommisionJunction and others..

 

can you belive that ??
just use adwords and watch your static

 

Hi thanks for your info.

I would use cj if they didn't go and mess everything up. Back a couple years ago, they were awsome... wont use them now.

Not sure how to get into yahoo... I filled out a form with them few weeks ago and never heard back, around the time they were offering $50 free in advertising.

Never heard of adzoogle... check them out...

I think I'm just going to flop adsense ads... In my opinion, it's only working out for them. I will just need to find replacements for those ads.

thanks

 

I had the same problem happen to me. It definitely has to do with smart pricing and similar features for advertisers. BUT theres a way to fix it.

Recreate your advertisements and delete the old ones. Yesterday I had 7 clicks and only made 1.25. After remaking the code for my google ads, Today I've had one click and made 1.87. Big difference wish i had done this sooner.

 

Thanks for the tip Let's see if it's consistent.

 

I got 66 clicks and only 1 dollar.. now thats crap

If you want to complain, get 800 clicks for less than 20 dollars. Then you can complain. I'm complaining.

Its total bs.

One day I get this: 200 cicks - $107 made
The next day: 400 clicks $64 made
Day 3: 400+ clicks $9 something
Day 4: 400+ clicks $9 something again...

 

very interesting post...
thanks for the tip.

 

I got a click today that was so low my Page eCPM actually went down. Hows that for bad?

 

111 clicks 7 $

i used to get atleast 1$ per day, now i dont even reach that, even tho the clicks improved, the income has still lowered

 

i cannot beleive
page ecpm dropped from 2 $ (avg) to 5 cents

 

I'm getting about $0.03 per click recently.

 

It' not constant get use toit

CPC value depends on so many factors

 

Has anyone else done this? If so, have you noticed any difference?

 

GOOGLE HAS ALL THE POWER - the other day I had 4 clicks posted on my mybloglog that were google ads, and google did not even count 1 of them. Kind of sucks sometimes

 

Google is probably going to shut me down now haha. they better not find out who i am!

 

Are you sure the Mybloglog click tracking for AdSense is accurate? There aren't really any other loggers to compare with but as far as I can tell, it is always overestimating the number of clicks compared to Google's tracking. I have never heard of someone say that Mybloglog tracked fewer clicks than Google's official tally.

 

We had abt 0.50 per click but now it seems it has gone down, hmmmmm

 

Your account is smartpriced mate. Get used to it
