Traffic Up, Adsense Down

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Chawman, Oct 19, 2007.

    I have a travel-related site. Recently, my Adsense has taken a drop by about $15 a day. My traffic is up by about 100 people per day, my CTR has remained consistent (often times up), but clicks overall have dropped, thusly my payouts are down.

    The only thing that has changed on my end is adding more pages with more Adsense, which should be a positive thing.

    Any thoughts? Thanks.

    How can your CTR remain the same and clicks drop. That means you are getting less clicks so CTR should drop or page views.

    Check ads see if they are smart priced. Look at urls and see if they have adsense ads on them or clickbank. If so filter the ads.

    what is your age of your adsense account? Adsense gives high CTR for new users but after this term CTR decrease.

    I also have a travel related site and recently the adsense earnings have dropped.
    I thought it may be due to the time of year. Less people going away or less people looking on the internet for summer type holiday information.
    Is travel a seasonal niche?
    Anyone else found this in the travel information type area.

    Impressions are down, clicks are down, CTR remains consistent....go figure *shrugs*

    What exactly am I looking for in a smartpriced ad?

    My account is around 2 years old
