Today, adsense ctr and ecpm both plummet more than half than usual in normal days. Traffic remains roughly the same. Anybody else facing the same?
I had an exceptionally good day yesterday and today has been very sparse, almost as if reporting is delayed by 10-12 hours.
Yesterday my earnings were nice. Today is another story. eCPM started the day bad, and has been dropping like a stone ever since. Same CTR and impressions.
My earnings have been decreasing steadily from sep 1 to sep 15. September is my worst month this year. Today i see a light rise in earnings, sure hope it reaches the sky soon
Today my sites have recovered very nicely from a three day slump. Today looks like it will be a record Friday. Sorry folks.
My has plummet aswell..made only half of what i did yesterday I'm only getting 0.01 to 0.02 cents per click I need to have adword and adsence to average the same everyday but it looks like adsence is losing the battle! Anybody else using both and how is it averaging out?
To those of you who are seeing fluctuations, what range of ad impressions are you in? If you're getting tens of views, you will fluctuate wildly, with hundreds there will be some smoothness, thousands will get you smooth, and tens of thousands will probably be boring. Also is your traffic from high quality sources like Google (search or Adwords) or are you buying bulk traffic or do you have a lot of return visitors like forum visitors?
Are you sure that reporting is delayed? My page view count is updated pretty quickly, thus making the ctr and ecpm to plummet! There is simply no click!
Average Per Day 940 page views today so far, adword traffic mostly. Adwords is sucking my pockets dry so that is all i can afford.
That's happened to me from time-to-time, especially on channels with lower page impressions per day or channels with page impressions that are increasing rapidly. Another possibility, which I've made countless times, is bad changes to my layout.
I'm at about 23k impressions per day and I still see wild fluctuations. My traffic is almost all Google and return visitors.
I have about a third of yesterday's earnings today. My CTR is down a bit, but it is the value of those clicks that is startlingly low.
