Hi I recently increased traffic to 50 % and even more but earnings are lower by half, i have twice as much visitor and earn one less than i earned when i had less visitors that is so disappointing , i put lot of effort to increase visitors and revenue drop , ctr drop , ecpm drop when i log to adsense account it just makes me sad so much effort and no results
That seems like good traffic to me, I really have no idea as to why that would occur. What's the URL to the website?
More traffic doesn't always mean more money, for instance you can get 500 visitors from stumbleupon but not make any money off it.
cuni18, I guess you're not alone. Since Christmas many publishers (including me) are complaining about the same stuff. Higher natural traffic but significantly lower CTR. Weird. And the most irritating is it still continues till today
Think it probably is an issue with traffic, but doesn't anyone else think users are becoming more aware of ads and just not hitting them?
i would also keep in mind that google adsense is not the only souce of income from a site traffic can convert for private ad sales as well as other programs adsense can be one source but also valueclick and other places can help increase your earnings
Paid traffic rarely increase your adsense revenue. It is mostly those who come to your site through the organic search are more likely to click your ads. Hence do the SEO work perfectly to increase the SERP and "NEVER BUY TRAFFIC"
On my niche, google is feeding BS, poor written ads, and most in competition with my own site, and paying avg of 2 cents a click. CTR went downhill. I'm having hard time to find out what to remove from the blocked list, to make room for this BS. I think I'll switch back to YPN for a while to see what happen.
Well, I tried kontera for a couple of month, but since i was seeing ads like this, Find and compare "fennel" at shopping.com (where fennel was the hyperlinked word, but could be any other crazy word) I dropped them LOL They also pay lower than adsense, at least in my niche.
