Made a nice $6.50 yesterday with a solid 4% CTR. I didnt change my blog at all all I did was write a really good 1000 word post and now my CTR has dropped to .4%. My earnings are 14 cents for the day haha. Is this just a 1 day fluke or do you think this will continue?
How long have you been using adsense? You should know that some days your CTR is different to your usual average. You should also know your usual average. Do you normally get 4% CTR?
I just purchased this site 4 days ago. In that time it has had an average of 3.7%. As soon as this new post went up it dropped. I wouldnt be worried if it dropped 1% but it dropped to nearly nothing. Ill see what happens tomorrow but at this point I think somehow this new post did it.
You need to sit back and relax a little. Watch it for about 30 days to get a good idea what it will do over time. I have sites that make $10 one day and nothing the next. It's not unusual. You need to track over a lot of impressions over a period of time.
Long informative post = people reading Short sloppy post = people click on ads (or at least read fast, get teased and click on ad for more info since you don't share). Just my 2 cents
This could actually be the case. Would be the first time I have ever experienced anything like this though which would really suck.
