    My traffic is the same, my click through is a little bit down but not by much. But my cpm went down :-(

    I was earning a steady 1.5 - 3.00 every day. now I'm lucky if I get 50 cents

    Try playing around with where you place your adsense. Try new spots and changing the colors around to see what works.

    the last few days i experience an incredibly low eCPM. I suppose it's due to the olympics

    Why would the olympics affect it though? I'm in the same boat though.

    less people are advertising, lower competition, less budget being spent on adwords

    i thought it was just me! my rate has more than halved. i heard somewhere that over the summer that advertising revenues drop, due to holidays, vacations etc. i'm writing off this month, but i'm hoping it comes back.

    Mine have been about the same, although this summer has not been nearly as good as I had hoped. I hope it picks up this fall.

    my amount per click has gone down as well as my ctr this month. of course, these are 2 things that affect my cpm which has gone down quite a bit as well.

    yes. Low as always. So, no changes on that. However, I am having higher than average utility bills and it is driving me insane. US coal is making a grumpy gussy out of me.

    try to place your ads on other place. experimenting your ads will also help you explore which part and what kind of ads format that have more clicks.

    Summer is always a bad time. Advertisers are spending less money, there are fewer people on the Internet, and the sucking economy is just making it worse.

    adsense is not steady, it fluctuates, just like SEO give it some time.

    If your ctr is up, dont change nothing just keep posting and give it some time. sooner or later you will get the picture that adsense fluctuates.

    The only thing you can do is find out what ads are paying less that yours users are clicking and blocking them. The question is how can you find out. If you can't find out then just wait it out
