Does anyone else notice this? I notice the earnings are slow to accumalate but after about 1,000 impressions, the earnings quickly acumalate towards the end of the day but by then it is nearing 2am for the start of a new sales earnings period. Normally $5 to $8 per day though
I experience exactly the same. Do you live in the US or somewhere else? The explanation is this: If you are outside the US, you must consider that Google time is 8 hours back from GMT time. So when at the Google headquarters the day starts (time 0:00), in Europe it is already 8-10 am. Till then you may see zero earnings for the day (actually till then the earnings are recorded to the previous day). But the big traffic does not start yet. It starts when it is 8-9 am in the US = 5-6 pm in Europe. This is when the earnings start suddenly increasing.
I live in the states in the upper midwest across from the Canadian side. I am in the farthest western end of the CDT time zone on NYC time though. The days are very long and daylight now stays until almost 9:15PM or 9:30PM I notice. Let me ask this, in my "zone" then, I ought to notice an acceleration in earnings around?????? As of this writing(at7PM) I notice there are currently 1457 page impressions that generated about 40 clicks....earning me roughly $1.81 (with a CTR of roughly 2.75%)
that can depend on your niche. some niche works out well during daytime, some at night, and others over the weekend. it is based on visitor browsing behaviour for that given niche
Earnings are always highest at the beginning of the day but it depends where your time zone is and where your market is. If you are in Europe and your visitors in the USA then you will see your clicks in your afternoon but their morning. Earning are higher in the morning because a lot of advertisers use a fixed budget and then the ads stop when that is used up so their ads are then replaced by adverts from lower bidders.
