Earnings per click waay down.

    I used to make almost 50 cents per click but am now down to just under 20 cents per click. I'm thinking it's because I've switched over to the blogger widget for Ad Sense. I just switched back to Ad Sense without the widget about 10 minutes ago. I'll have to see if that changes my earnings in the next few days.

    Optimize your ads then. Change some things up. Are you using ad links?

    $0.20/click is a LOT nowadays. I earn about $0.02/click on many of my sites.

    Mine have fluctuated this entire month. They're currently up and this month is turning out to be very, very good. I'm still not making much, but compared to last month and the month before, I'm very happy. I'll post my earnings at the end of the month.

    If you are making 2 cents a click it's because one of this reasons:

    - In your page content you don't focus on a given subject, wich makes it kind of hard for google to Give you relevant ads

    or

    - The subject you are focusing about is way to general and you need to get a little bit more Specific

    Actually, I've abandoned that project for more lucrative ventures so I just put a bunch of paid posting up on there. I am no longer interesting in focusing on keywords and ad clicks for melbel.com

    yes, the up-and-down happens to me too. I'm guessing it averages out at the end?
