I run a pretty high traffic site, its only about 2 weeks old but i gte 2k unique hits a day. Anyway, at the beging i was making like 45$ a day but now its getting worse and worse. Its down to like 5$ a day now but im still getting the same ammount of traffic and clicks as i was at the start. Any ideas?
do you have a high ratio of returning to new visitors? if so, they may have become accustomed to the ad placement. could be something else though...
Aceday, This could mean 2 things according to me: #1. Advertisers paying less for these key words #2. Your site has been smartprised. There could be reason #3 and #4, but I really don't know which these are. Probably some Adsense experts do now, and will answer in regards? I am experiencing a similar thing with some of my sites and it's making me very jumpy and upset all together. The fact that it fluctuates means according to me that I haven't been smartprised but that advertisers are trying to see how much less they could spend for the same type of results they are getting from my clicks... All nice and well for them (especially the arbitraging advertisers..) but not necessarily for us publishers. My 2 cents and good luck with getting where you were with your daily/monthly income
we don't know unless you give the number of clicks. anyway if you have almost $0.01 a click then there could be smart pricing
ideas without knowing which site you talk about is impossible too many factors can create such factors like more advertisers moving the the recently ( before xmas and last week ) requested ATF placement and rect formats leaving those who have OTHER formats with cheaper advertisers ...
So you were making 45 bucks a day, from 2,000 uniques? what was the CTR and what is it now? can you be a little more vague?
My guess is, you are smartpriced. I wouldn't expect it to go that much doen simply from advertisers bidding less on keywords.
