Hi guys, I'm looking forward to your help to figure out what's going on with my site. I have a site that has about 500 uniques/day and a PageRank of 3. My earnings were fine in the end of 2005, but it has started to SINK in the past few months. ALL of our content is unique and quality - I write them all myself and I make sure they are the best possible quality. I know quality content is the key to success - and that's what I do! Today, for example, I had 24 clicks and made only $1.35 for them (less than 7 cents/click!). In the past, I could easily make $7+ with that amount of clicks. It's probably not "just a normal drop"... the earnings are down for quite some time and I can't figure out what's going on with my AdSense. Anyone?! PS: The ads are well targetted. Most of them would interest my readers.
Perhaps you used to have site targeted CPM ads running on your site. I notice a huge reduction in earnings when I have no site targeted ads running on my site.
Not really, usedmac. The site targetted ads are near zero for my site. 99.9% of the impressions come from Contextual ads.
Well on my site its increased as well! Its a file hosting site, with no content, just the ads and an uploading box! That might be the reason! yupload.com Also, a free web hosting forum! xexmhosting.com
Me too, the other day my cpc was .03 cents! Also, my account is showing clicks on Friday, but no earnings figure. I thought it just needed time to catch up, but it is now Sunday and still nothing in there. Yet there are earnings showing up for yesterday and today. Has this ever happened to anyone else? Do I need to do anything?
