For some strange reason, big drop in click prices and ppc earnings

    So I got a few clicks the other day on AdSense that amounted to about $0.50. I think there were about 5 clicks. Today, for 3 clicks I get $0.06. Dissapointing, but not surprising.
    On the other hand, my AdWords campaign had today a cost per click of about 1/4th of the cost that I had the other day.

    Was this drop in prices/revenues general today, or is it just me?

    Happened to me too...for me it was from $10/day to $1/day...not nice

    Its either smart pricing...or the fact that a high bidder has ran out of money, so the bids been lowered.

    The money you get on depends on how high people big for those keywords...

    Beginning of the month is always a low point for me and my site. Traffic is less, PPC is less, and overall revenue is less. Why the beginning of the month? I have no idea, but I've noticed this effect over the last couple of years.

    I know how ya'll feel. I was getting about 1 click a day from a couple of different sites worth anywhere from $.50 to $2 and now I'm getting several clicks for pennies. So I'm trying out YPN on one of the sites to see if it can work better.

    I just wonder.. Could it be that after Google released its financial results many advertisers dropped adwords?!

    Today AdSense just ... sucked! With one specific website I could target at least $1.50 with Casale's CPM and only $0.05 with AdSense. Awful!

    What you think positive publicity (like shares etc) for Google increases PPC?

    I'm getting clicks that pays 0.06cts each! :( I remember that when I first started it is much better but getting worst. I'm waiting for amazon to launch their contexual ads program.

    While I got an average of 2$/day from impressions (casale) I got yesterday $0.03 for over 6k impressions in adsense. That's pathetic IMO :( I need to fill a 468x60 with something profitable and I can't find the right thing!
