    Hi, I'm getting $0.02 for a click, I don't understand why this is happening.

    Before, I used to get at least $0.11 for a click, now I get $0.02
    How can I fix this?
    Thanks.

    Here's my site:

    Has you seen a drastic increase in your CTR as well? This could be attributable to invalid clicks. :rolleyes:

    It's the holiday season - your earnings may be down the whole month. Focus on content and try to increase your blog's traffic.

    Why does the holiday season affect my AdSense revenue?

    I've noticed a lot of Public service ads such as "Get skinny in 11 days"
    Why am I getting PSA?

    No idea, but I'm getting a lot of those too. Well, shopping sites usually earn the most these months - and advertisers are usually trying to push their shop sites.

    Look at this, http://elitehackerspro.blogspot.com/
    The square ads are the ones that are displaying the PSA.

    The link units are displaying regular adword ads.
    I don't understand, why is this happening?

    Now they're not, I put them in the competitive ad filter and bam, it did the trick.

    You have WAY too many Adsense ad blocks on your site -- beyond the number allowed. You should read the Adsense Terms and Conditions. With all respect, your site looks like an Adsense ad site with a small amount of useful content mixed in for good measure.

    Beyond the number allowed?
    If it exceeded the number allowed then why are the ads still visible?

    How?
    Please explain.
