Okaay for the past month or so i've been been getting a CPC of $0.50 - $2.50 for each click. For the past 5 days it has dropped to $0.03-$0.15, IT ISN'T GOING ANY HIGHER! Before I used to make $5/day now I make $0.50 or less a day.. Why?? What has happend? Why CPC soooo low?
CPC depends on the traffic of your website and the traffic region if you have traffic form EU countries of US, UK Aus, Canada so you will get the high CPC rates... but if you have a traffic from India, Pakistan or countries like this ... so you will get the low CPC .... for example .. you get 5 clicks from USA or UK or Canada you can get the $.50 or $.30 per click ... or $1 ... but if you have clicks from PK or IND you will get .... $.02 or $.03 if you have traffic from arab countries or EU countries you will get $.09 or $.12 to $.15 ..... so all depends upon your traffic....
There is very complex algorithm of deciding adsense clicks rate, you can't determine it, only Google knows and it would be applied accordingly.
Your cpc also depends with your visitors region. And try to put just one adsense ads, no more than 1. With that strategy, my cpc is extremely stable
Assuming that all your variables are constant (geo breakdown, time on site, volume of traffic, etc), it's just due to the fact that it's Q1 (January) and you were just experiencing the best rates Q4. It'll bounce back a little in a few weeks. Keep us posted. I know most people saw a dip in their Adsense earnings some more than others apparently. What is your site and geo breakdown, do you have any US traffic? Maybe you should try a CPM network...
I've seen a bit of an improvement yesterday and today, actually got my highest paid single click ever yesterday.
As mentioned before, this is dependent on where your traffic is coming from. But also, you haven't changed any of the ad units to text only or image only or anything like that recently?
LOL I legitly laughed at that. That actually did not make any sense at all. Holy crap, I am laughing my ass off here.
man, AdSense isn't scamming, I tell you. just no point for them, it's not some small bullshit network. but if you're not happy with you revenue (which really depends on traffic quality/countries), you can check some close alternatives: Chitika, Epom market...
if you're not happy with current network, change it, that's simple... valueclick, chitika, neverblue, epom market and more good networks will welcome you
Well,Adsense id not scam site.. lol this is the publisher network by google... The thing about CPC is,. It depends upon the country you are getting traffic, The advertisement which comes up, Who much they are paying per click to adwords so, as per their commission how much you are getting... So over all, There is nothing that you can do, expect target the USA visitors that pays maximum rather then any other country. Regards
