    Hi,

    I was getting on average £0.20 - £0.50 per click a week or two ago and then suddenly I have gone down to an average of £0.05 - £0.10 per click.

    Any idea why its so low and any way to get it back to normal?

    Well there are many factors behind for this and some are:

    - Clicks getting from Tier-2 Zone traffic which is reduce your overall CPC ( Prefer New Adsense UI to get overall CPC).
    - You got those rate just because of holidays and during this you will have better ads specially for Mobile ( Assuming your Android site )
    - Sometimes your conversion rate is play vital role if your click doesn't convert well, your high ad bidder may out from your ad spot or lower CPC.

    I would advice you to link Adsense with Google Analaytics where you can get much better idea and check CPC for US/UK Traffic only I'm sure you will find same CPC.

    It depends on the niche and how much adwords users bid for the keyword so I think its normal to get lower rate than the previous one

    I think everyone is facing this problem as competition is going on well so people are bidding lower in the adwords so rate goes down

    I have a couple of websites this happens on occasionally. When this happens I stop working on the site and work on something else or start a new project, then when things pick up again I start working on that site again. Once in awhile a site is dedicated to a topic with a shelf life, and the site eventually just withers and dies because it's just not a popular topic anymore and nothing I do could bring it back. Basically, you just have to learn to move on. :)
