What is happening? My site was first for its keywords in google for 3 weeks and was earning about $2 a click. My site is now down the bottom of the second page of google and I have had 7 clicks and about $0.21. I am so confused, my site is genuine with lots of new content and professional written. Is this a common occurence?
Recently, very common. You may want to diversify beyond dependence on Google - otherwise you will be at their mercy.
Google is on crack right now (hang on..it has been for the last couple months)..add more contents, gain more links...and yes diversify beyond relying on google traffic and google adsense. Just remember that's SEO...you keep chasing and running after the 1st position..never ending journey really.
My value per click has been all over as well. One day its .50/click , the next I have 130 clicks and it pays around 5.00?? Wish YPN would open their doors to the rest of the world. Would be nice to loose google.
