Well, this week my earnings have dropped 50%! I see there is a little traffic drop but this is ridiculous. How are your earnings looking?
So your traffic is the same but your adsense just dropped 50%? Do you remember if you changed anything on your ads recently? Sometimes only one change can mess up the whole thing, which i'm sure you know. Otherwise I don't know what to tell ya, I don't believe google changed anything that would affect it that much, but I could be wrong.
I have been moving away from adsense for some time for this very reason. Try adding affiliate adds eg. a clickbank feed or similar that looks like google adds for a month or two and see if your earnings improve. What I find now- I a brand new sites with well placed adds start to earn good adsense income as the traffic pours in for max-3-4 months then it seems to be earning hardly anything from google- so thats when I switch to alternative adds. Hope that helps
Interesting, I have been scanning all the forums trying to figure out the same thing, why are my revenues declining when my hits are up 10 times over last year. Obviously, the PPC rate has dropped dramatically this past year, as it has for the past three in my case. Oh do I miss the good old days. lol With recent Google report, obviously, they are on the decline, but then again, isn't it about time. Advertising is fickle thing, the latest and newest always sucks away revenue from other traditional sources, and this is a perfect example of that. It was just a matter of time that Google would start to see a decline in PPC revenues, and in these uncertain economic times, advertising always takes a hit. Internet giant Google Inc.'s revenue and profits fell short of Wall Street expectations in the fourth quarter, amid slower growth in consumer clicks on its advertisements and higher fees paid to partners. Shares in the Mountain View, Calif., company fell about 7% in after-hours trading after it reported fourth-quarter profit rose 17%, compared with 46% profit growth in the third quarter. Revenue rose 51% from a year earlier to $4.83 billion. Investors have been anxious that a consumer slowdown could affect online advertising. Slowing growth in the number of times consumers clicked on Google's ads, which appear alongside its Web ... Good luck to all,
