My site has been doing pretty well IMO lately. I've been using adsense for the past 3 months and have gotten my daily average earnings up to about 8 bucks a dayish. But as of yesterday I do believe I have been "smart priced" it sucks cause I've poured a lot of hard work into my free site and adsense is the only source of revenue. I have applied and been denied by yahoo ( I think it's cause my site is so new ) so I can't go down that avenue. Idk, earnings is a bit better today so maybe I am just going through a batch of really bad ads. I understand that there are ups and downs, but this down sux :/
everyone's gone through it. in the long term, if you stick through it, you'll be better at what you're doing because of it. you always need to keep in mind that diversification is key. that being said, stop worrying about your income and focus on getting more traffic. you can always work on monetization later. just focus on expanding, constantly.
I got smartpriced in August from $20 a day down to about $12. I'm now making $55, so you should just see it as a temporary blip - keep going.
How can you assume that in just a day. The revenues fluctuate all the time. Sometimes you even have a week long patch but then it gets back to normal.
