    Has your income dropped this year?

    My income has dropped like a rock.

    I have similar number of click (200-380 a day) and similar visitor profile (search engines) to the months in 2009. But starting 2010, the amount per-click has become so ridiculously low.

    Is it just me ? Or do you guys experience the same thing ?

    Pretty similar - don't micro-analyse mate! We're barely half way through the month - just keep working and the income will get back.

    I, too had the same problem beginning of the month. But this could be due to some high pr backlinks that I have recently added. CPC dropped by half. After removing these backlinks, cpc returned back to normal for the past week.

    My adsense revenue has increased, but that's due to me working on more sites and building up my existing ones. However, my income from affiliate marketing has plummeted

    Revenue dropped off a little in the 1st week in january but has started to gather momentum again which is good news.Not sure if it was to do with people going back to school/work or to do with the Google changes.

    January was fantastic for me. February has begun slow, though. But hey, it's still early, it's best to monitor your revenue over a prolonged period of time, and take an average.

    Yes its dropped, more asian traffic. USA/UK traffic has slowed down a fair bit over the last few months, i think its because school is coming back.
