March Adsense Earnings Suck! How Are Yours?

    My February adsense earnings were about the same as my January.

    HOWEVER, the first three days of march have been stinkers. it's almost like the first second March hit my earnings dropped.

    Specifically my cost per click has taken a heavy hit, average across my entire account.

    How are your adsense earnings so far in March?

    I know what you mean. February was one of my best months, especially the first two weeks, then the earning leveled off, then dropped quite alot towards the end of the month.

    But, I have got to the point, I dont worry about it too much, it will pick up again.

    From what I have seen is that it comes in cycles, but overall still quite good.

    I noticed a drop in my March earnings as well! The CTR is below 1% which is horrible.. I don't know why.. December was my best month!

    "February was one of my best months"

    lol, it seems like at the beginning of February everybody complained of drops, and now in march nobody has said a thing, I thought I was the only one.


    "it comes in cycles"

    Amen, peaks and valleys

    I haven't noticed a change at all. I am getting the same CTR and it seems I am getting better pay per ad click now. (Roughly 75 cents.)

    Is there a pattern does anyone know why? I can't remember when the TOS was changed (not allowing us to place images beside ads) but I know that lowered my CTR dramatically

    Yeah I have seen them drop SIGNIFICANTLY since around the end of January (with MORE traffic) - From a consistent $15-$20 / day (even some $45 days) to $5.50 yesterday which was the lowest day since last AUGUST and today is not looking much better!!! :mad:

    Seems to be fine for me, even higher than Feb, probably depends on the niche. Remember if majority of your visitors are teens and college students, its spring break season right now

    probably, i should have said "early march" earnings. hopefully not a sign of things to come

    I also wasn't sure if maybe there wasn't a holiday or sporting event going on this weekend where everybody wasn't in front of the confuser.

    It does sound like spring break. How does everyone do for first month in summer.
