How is this possible?

    I run a lyrics website.
    I have ~1000 impressions per day. I used to have 20-25clicks/day, but now I only get 2-5 clicks.
    How is this possible?
    I didn't changed the position of the ads, the number of them, and I didn't made any other changes in layout.

    Thanks!

    PS: Me or my friends don't click on my ads!

    What about the number of the visitors on your website? Did it decrease?

    The content is changed regularly? The ads are rotating or are the same?

    Does your content change? Maybe the ads have become less relevant to the users

    they are ~500/day.
    new lyrics are inserted daily.
    I don't belive that users lost their interest for my website...because they had none ...... almost.
    93% of users are NEW !
    and ~90% of traffic I get from search engines!

    That is the reason. Good and bad together. The visitors find everything they want in your website and they don't want to search somewhere else. I mean it. Your site is in my bookmarks. And something else i noticed, not so important but why have troubles. In your frontpage you have two or three times the word welcome and especially in the header you are writing "Welcome to Internet's most visited lyrics", and just after that is an adsense box. Maybe it is a good idea to remove the "welcome" note above the ads, since adsense not allowed in "welcome pages". I received a notice from google for something similar, that's why i'm telling you.

    impression means nothing. most likely your visitors reduce which constitute to the decrease revenue.

    It happens. When you're talking about small numbers of clicks, you just notice it more. One of my sites fluctuates between 2000 clicks and 1500 clicks on any given day. Everything gets skewed more when you're using a smaller scale to go by.

    P.S. Better be careful with labeling your ads. You have "Some lyrics from LyricsEra :" directly above the 468 banners...
