Hey I am not sure if any of you have noticed but it seems a few people that i have spoken to here have had a BAD drop in earnings over the past couple of weeks? I used to earn around $2-6 per day on one site i own now its a mere 0.20 at best with the same clicks..? Also, 2 of my sites have not been indexed for over a month. Both have STRONG back links from busy sites and being in the SEO business myself i usually get my sites indexed within weeks. Now its taking months. I think google has turned mean.. whats wrong guys? you didn't make enough money last year selling your car stickers? I love you really don't ban my sites. <3
Probably some publishers gets some low paying click for couple of weeks, but for me its going as usual, better I think the answer should come from google..
Could it be related to the holidays / End of year? Business buying activity tends to dip around this time of year in my experience.
What is was... GOOGLE GOT GREEDY!! So people are still paying the same ammount per click. But google is taking a larger percentage then what they where before. So you are going to be making much less. These are my thoughts.
My earnings per click have actually been going up in the last week or so, and I have generally had a fairly solid increase of 10% in earnings per click since the New Year, I'm quietly confident the decrease in earnings is just isolated to your niche, sites or account. As for Google indexing I will agree that I think the indexing process has slowed down a little in recent times it used to take a couple of days to get my new pages indexed now it is taking over a week which is unusual.
It's probably just the holiday season, I saw a drop over Christmas... it could also be that the advertisers are paying less per click. Could be anything.
