I've said it before and I'll say it again. Don't look at DAILY statistics. They don't mean much. Look at week to week. If you're worried about losing SE position or have been banned or have your ID hijacked, make sure you have another means of determining site traffic. Google Analytics or just access to your own logfiles. That way if impressions go down and traffic at Analytics stays the same, you might have a problem with adsense. If they BOTH go down, it may either be SE position or just a low traffic-volume day.
Normally Thursday is my best for traffic *sometimes second best) but today its quite slow. I am not sure if I can attribute this to anything happening in the US because its not even spring break yet, is it? Possible lost a few rankings that I am not fully aware of.
There's also "momentary Google glitches" where a site can be dropped down for a day or two and then come back up.
I did. I was number 2 in google for this term now I'm 6th... Earnings down almost 30 bucks from that alone.
Well, I've created a couple new adwords ads over the past two days and NONE of them have started showing impressions, so it seems something may be hosed in the Google ad pipeline... thus resulting in lower earnings.
Still very sluggish traffic levels today. Google is my main provider, but Yahoo a close second. The ad impressions were running at 100 per hour on Monday, yesterday they were down to 60 per hour across all my sites. Earnings down to 4% of earlier in the week.
Traffic is going down since Monday. One site went to 200/day from 900/day. SERP is down too...one site went 2nd page and the other website went 1st position to 3rd page. It worried me because changes are slow and steady. When you have sudden change normally it comes back in short time. I never experienced such change before and I am not sure how to prevent this. Any ideas?
I don't think you can prevent it rahman15. It seems that for some reason, some of us are getting far fewer referrals than earlier in the week. I was on target for a $200+ month a couple of days ago, now it's looking more like $150, and dropping all the time.
since exactly march 1st adsense was terrible im getting double the traffic and quarter of the ecpm from exactly the first march its been over a week now so it aint a daily fluctuation
