    I seem to be getting less and less from adsense on most of my websites.
    Some of them is even down to 0.01$ per click ?????

    I used to get from 0.1 - 0.8 on those sites and now all of them is down to 0.01 - 0.1$

    Anyone seen the same or have any suggestions on how to "fix" it ?

    Advertisers have learnt to minimize their payouts. Start looking at other options to make money online, there are many available.

    Yes, I'm finding that each month Adsense pays less and less - hardly worth bothering to check the stats these days.

    I struggled for the past two months because my CTR and CPC both dropped in half.

    CPC is back up again, though.

    I guess the best thing to do is to keep going.

    Are you getting smart-pricing from google or what? More over, it depend on keywords and geo-targeted.

    Well one of my sites is in top3 on google for that keyword and its a nice keyword generating good traffic from US

    It used to give around 0.4-0.8 per click. But over the last 2 weeks its down to 0.01$

    Ya my earnings are really crappy and its getting worse.
    1,091 clicks in the past 7 days and only about $80.

    kinda pisses me off when I look at shoemoney's earnings here and see how much he was getting with thousands of clicks.

    Click values go up or down depending on how competative the market is. The advertisers pay as little per click as they can so depending on how competative the niche is, the value changes. I also feel its something to do with the time of year..

    Happy xmas all

    Try to find the cheapo ads and put these sites in your filter, so simply prevent the cheapest ads from showing up on your site.

    My earnings have halfed this month. For the past few months I was getting around 350 - 450 a day, now its dropped to 150 - 200 per day.

    Not sure why this is, hoping its just that advertisers arent spending as much in the run up to christmas and that this will change next month. Lets wait and see!!!

    Ya, you need to learn about the other ad networks. If you own a forum, or a very popular blog, then kontera is your best friend.

    ya this happened to me before too it seems after awhile google "smartprices" certain sites. You could try to use the ad filter and try to filter out what you think are the low paying ads

    How does smartpricing works ?

    Is there any way to avoid it, maybe rearrange content and add placements..
