I noticed that for every 6,000 impressions I would get at least 150-250 clicks. My ads are placed well one big rectangle under neath the title, one smalll rectangle on the bottom of the article, and one sky scrapper right on the side of the article. the past 4 days my traffic has remained consistent from 6,000 to 20,000 impressions a day but the clicks are only 10-35 clicks now. Is google not counting clicks for me anymore because they saw that I was finally making money 2 weeks ago? I do not understand the drop in clicks especially when I had 22,000 traffic one day and only got 10 or 12 clicks. Does anyone have these type of extreme fluctuations in Clicks? or do you guys get consistently steady clicks?
wow, nice, what are your earnings? Ooooo Someone was probably inflating clicks or impressions, bots... This is the only business where you have to worry about robots. really.
Thats what I was thinking. Maybe its not real visitors and just bots. I get this on one of my sites and get no clicks.
nope not bots, because My Alexa ranking is very high like in the 100,000's. When I started making good money I was smiling now the depression came back because my clicks have really shrank badly. Its very sad because I put so much time into this around 2 years. and never really made any money until a few weeks ago. now im back to pennies
i had experience the same thing as yours but not too bad, what i did was i removed the ads block on sidebar and other, just add link units and one ad block beneath post title (2 ads unit only), then when it increase constantly for few days, i add one more add block and keep experiment with it for 2 week, im not just told u this like the online tips and bla bla bla....this month my earning double, but sure not enough sleep. LOL.
So its better just to leave the ad block in the article and thats it? Right now its at 12,344 with 64 clicks. thsi is very strange because why all of a sudden all of the clicks I was getting stopped now? Before I was getting hundreds of click every time my article went to google news for my sports blog, now I aint even making enough to survive. This is sad, I write tons of articles a day like people said orignal content but yet google does this to me again its alost like they dont want me to make a living.
Ok what i did just leave two ads block, just two, there once i only use one ads block (to show protest to goolgle) for two days, I felt the same way, like google dun want us to make a gud money. It also take time for me to get to normal clicks again.
I think Google saw I could be making good cash and they decided to know count clicks, because my site was getting massive clicks. Its not normal that I will get 30,000 one day and only 80 clicks that doesnt add up. Even people I know who run websites message boards with return traffic get over 400 clicks a day. should I send an email to google inquiring why my click throughs have dropped suddenly?
As ever to this type of query (As very few if any of us work for Google on this forum) I would say email Google. As an example would you go into a Ford Auto showroom to ask for advice as to why your Volvo was down on power? Just ask google, adsense is run by them not Digital Point - Also when will people get it into their heads that Google DOES NOT PENALISE PEOPLE FOR MAKING MONEY!!!! The more money you earn the more they earn. Would you fire your top salespeople for earning you too much money? Of course you wouldn't! - Nonsense! Grrr,,,, Dickie
ya it is normal but if search engines has minimized your traffic than its men your site has cam down in index, struggle more by seo techniques to go top
ya I emailed them but no reply yet. and like your saying goes no traffic no money, but I got tons of SE traffic and the clicks have dropped lol
Anyway me 2 waiting google reply ur message, hope everything will get better, anyway just sharing my story(maybe not really related to this thread), i got google penalties and i check what the wrong things i did to my site. Then log in to google webmaster tools and request for reconsideration, and after a week everything back to normal again,
I think I will send another Email but sometimes they dont reply google is really busy so many people have adsense.
Are you saying that your ads are placed well? Are you so confident that your ads placement can guarantee you the clicks you want? It is normal that clicks fluctuate. I think time will tell you the fact or maybe it just soars next day.
