    for last 2 months adsense PPC has gone down 50% for all my sites, once .10 paid keywords now paid 0.05 cents...

    is it because less people use adwords in summer???

    this is really horrible

    No. It may be because you were smart-priced.

    last month my earnings were pretty bad - i assumed it was because of summer.. however this month might be my best month ever, and it's still summertime...

    It's a rollercoaster.. get in, sit-down, and enjoy the ride..

    When the holidays started my earnings for some sites went down $50 - $100 a day. The sites that earns less is sites that are used by school kids 10- 18 years. So the holiday have an effect.

    anyone know what exactly the % of share we get from the advertisers $? Like can G take a better cut when they need more income to cover their youtube/doubleclick deals or cover the loss the MFA used to generate after their bans lol ...

    G can take a better cut if they want yes. But nobody know their cut, a common guess is that you keep 75%.

    The past few days have been pretty bad on me. I think summer has officially hit my sites, cause my impressions/CTR/payouts are a LOT lower than usual.

    No, I don't think summer has too much an adverse effect on cpc. If it does, it is pretty negligible. Maybe you are just going through a bad patch.

    I took off adsense off my forum, the CTR is already a joke. And now the price for ads is going down... Useless. Now i'm selling my own banners, at my own prices.

    Adsense never performs really well at forums anyway, check out Clickbank for forums.

    People are now outside, at the beach, enjoying nature, not too many are indoors on the computer.

    I havn't noticed a single change. My sites are pretty much doubling in traffic and revenue still. It's been like this for 6 months. Maybe your running a seasonal site or something
    (it would suck if you have a christmas website:))
